A distraught Ohio father called police after learning that his 11-year-old daughter sent explicit images to a man who apparently coerced her on social media, according to a video that went viral last week.

The father posted Vivint doorbell camera video footage of police responding to his home on Sept. 15 on his anonymous TikTok account, garnering more than 800,000 views on the social media platform since last week.

"I just wanted someone to talk to her," the father told two Columbus police officers when they arrived at his house that evening, allegedly six hours after he initially called. "I just wanted her to realize what this was. I mean, the reality is that there's not much I can do about it, isn't it?"

The father wrote in the caption of his video that he called police at 6 p.m. to get help for his daughter, whom he said was "manipulated" into sending explicit images to an "online predator."

A female officer immediately suggested the girl can be charged for sending explicit images to an adult online. The dialogue in the video goes as follows: 

Officer: "I mean, she could probably get charged with child porn."

Father: "Who? She can? She's 11 years old," the father fires back.

Officer: "She's creating it, right?" the officer says.

Father: "She's 11 years old."

Officer: "Doesn't matter. She's still making porn."

Father: "No she's not. She's being manipulated by a grown-a-- adult on the internet."

Officer: "Is she taking pictures though?"

Father: "You guys have a nice evening. Thank you for coming."

Fox News Digital has reached out to the father in the video.

Columbus Inspector General Jacqueline Hendricks told Fox News Digital in a statement that the Columbus Department of the Inspector General (Columbus DIG) "is aware of the video being shared with social media and did receive several citizen complaints involving this incident with the two Columbus Division of Police (CPD) officers."

"The Columbus DIG takes each and every citizen complaint filed with our office seriously," Hendricks said. "The purpose of the Columbus DIG is to ensure the actions of sworn personnel of the CPD are constitutional and in compliance with the City of Columbus and CPD’s policies and procedures and all applicable laws. "

She added that "[w]hen evidence suggests a violation of policies and procedures occurred, recommendations of accountability will be made in order to restore, build, and maintain public trust between the community and CPD."

Federal law makes it illegal to receive, create, possess and distribute child pornography. It is also illegal to coerce or manipulate minors into sending explicit material.

CPD told McClatchy News that it takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously, and the department's Sexual Assault Unit detectives are investigating the incident.

An Italian restaurant owner announced that he was closing up shop after doing business for over a decade in downtown San Francisco, according to a local news report. 

"After almost 14 years in San Francisco's Financial District, it is unfortunately time for BARBACCO to close its doors," the restaurant wrote in an Instagram post Saturday. "We hoped 2023 would be the year the neighborhood returned to the way it was pre-pandemic, however that hasn't been the case. We appreciate each of you for allowing us to serve you over the years, whether it was lunch with coworkers, a date night after a long day, or a meal at one of our many pasta dinners."

The owner of Barbacco told CBS News Bay Area that his business had been suffering for a long time.

"It was in my mind already, because I noticed that we were just bleeding, and again I didn't want to believe it," restaurateur Umberto Gibin said. "I didn't see the volume that we need even to break even, for that matter."

Gibin said that while he did not want to give up on Barbacco, the business was no longer sustainable. 

"You don't want to give up," he said, telling CBS News Bay Area that "you always hope that there is a new day until you realize that you need to look at the numbers and the bank account and you say, 'Well, I don't think this is sustainable.' So, as hard of a decision as it is, it is a reality."

"The San Francisco downtown office vacancy rate is sitting around 30%," according to the outlet.

San Franciscans have been divided over rising crime and faltering businesses. San Francisco land use commissioner Alex Ludlum resigned in a scathing letter to Democratic Mayor London Breed in August after he reportedly advertised for a "doom loop" tour in the city to show the effects of crime and drug use.

But some San Franciscans are maintaining hope for the future of their city. 

"To be honest with you, as a native San Franciscan and knowing what's going on downtown I wasn't surprised, but it's very sad," Laura Rotbert, a diner at the neighboring restaurant Perbacco, told CBS News Bay Area. "However, I'm optimistic for the future of downtown San Francisco." 

Barbacco did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
