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.

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,”
