PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — At least once a week, if not more, KATU receives press releases from local law enforcement agencies announcing child sex crime busts. Many involve some form of luring or exploitation through a cellphone app or website. Portland Police Bureau (PPB) Child Abuse Team Detective John Richardson said arrests for child sex crimes are increasing, but not nearly at the rate the crimes themselves likely are. "We don't have enough investigators to work on these cases right now. We investigate probably 20% of the cyber tips that come in just because we don't have the manpower," he said. He said the increase is driven by the ease of access for predators, particularly as technology and tools like artificial intelligence become more sophisticated. "I think that it's just gotten much easier to find the material. The AI stuff has made it, I think a lot easier for people to start producing content," Richardson said. "You used to have to actually have photos and videos back in the day."

Using LinkedIn to help accelerate your career growth and opportunities getty When most professionals think about improving their LinkedIn presence, they tend to focus first on the obvious areas: their headline, profile photo, About section, latest job title, and responsibilities. Those elements certainly matter, but after years of coaching professionals and leaders on how to strengthen their LinkedIn presence and share their thought leadership, I’ve found that some of the most overlooked sections on LinkedIn are often the very places that reveal whether an individual is ready for their next opportunity and chapter. Today, LinkedIn is not simply an online resume. It’s a living reflection of your personal brand and your professional identity - including your credibility, impact, voice, collaboration, direction, and visibility. And increasingly, recruiters, collaborators, clients, media contacts, and hiring managers are paying attention not only to where you’ve worked, but also to how clearly and compellingly you communicate your value, along with what conversations you engage in, the topics you amplify, and what your profile reflects about where you’re headed next. Here are five often-neglected LinkedIn sections that will support your desired growth and deserve more attention. 1. The Featured Section: What Do You Want To Be

TikTokers everywhere are making songs out of friends and relatives' texts. Is AI music the next Snapchat filter?  30-year-old Illinois travel agent Justice Washam is an on-again, off-again TikTok creator who has been posting about travel and parenting for almost a decade. But despite her 250,000 followers, as of early April, the mother of three hadn’t made much money off the platform, and her goal of hitting a million followers by the end of 2026 seemed far-fetched. Then her best friend sent her a TikTok featuring screenshots of funny texts that had been turned into the lyrics to an AI-generated song: “She was like, ‘Your daughter’s messages are what this trend is made for!’”  Washam assembled some texts in which her persistent 11-year-old asked for Starbucks (“strawberry acai with no inclusions and light ice made with lemonade”), permission to get a social media account (“all i want for Christmas is Snapchat”), and other 21st-century tween stuff (“mom/I don’t know what to do with my hair/mom/why aren’t you responding?”). She downloaded Suno’s AI-music-generating app, pasted in her daughter’s words, and requested a song in an early-2000s Avril Lavigne vein. “When I was her age, that kind of punk-pop music was popular,”
