Sheriff Harkins would like to remind parents if they have children with social media accounts it is very important to monitor and be involved in their online activity. “Nationwide we see many cases that evolve just like this one. Remaining vigilant to online predators is essential for the safety of our children,” said Harkins.
Ramirez-Aguilar will be set for a future hearing in Blaine County after his initial arraignment in Twin Falls.
