The FBI is warning parents about the rise in terrorist groups attempting to influence kids and teens online to carry out violence.

Ana Marcus, an FBI special agent on the Northeast Florida Joint Terrorism Task Force, and Jim Berry, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection supervisory officer, were guests on Friday’s edition of “Closer Look.”

They talked with host Rose Scott about the activity they’re seeing online and the tips for keeping kids safe from radicalization.
