    The RNC is asking parents throughout the province to speak to their kids about the dangers of social media. An investigation started in August after police received information related to the use of fictitious identities to arrange sexual acts with youth. To date, the RNC has laid 63 sexual violence related charges against 32-year-old Markus HICKS of Paradise in connection. Yesterday, police announced three accounts including Maria Winchester, Brittany Campbell and Bradol15  which were used by Hicks.
