The crimes came to light when people told Snapchat about a parent who was “promoting” videos of the parent having sex with their own children, Reid said, WPTV reports. The parent was Wagner, Reid said, WPTV reports.

Snapchat sent the information to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which traced an IP address to Port St. Lucie — and Wagner, WPTV reports.

“She was their mother. I mean, she was the one person who should have made sure that something like this never happened to them,” Reid said, WPTV reports.
