Are Chandler Park Academy students in danger of a predator?

A parent of a student at Chandler Park Academy in Detroit, anonymously reported to us her concerns of an adult having inappropriate interactions online with underage girls. Allegedly, Steve Gatto, age 40, is befriending under-aged girls online and having explicit conversations. It is unknown whether or not he is meeting up with the teens. But, the parent alleges that he is live streaming on social media sites while displaying explicit content of himself, and engaging in inappropriate acts while teens are watching.

Reportedly, Steve Gatto has an Instagram page, where he has a long list of teens and others he is following. It was reported, that he also has several posts on his Instagram page, of unsuitable pictures and videos of young teenager girls. It is unclear if the teenage girls are Chandler Park Academy Middle School students, or students from surrounding schools. The parent whom reported this story to us, also reached out to other news outlets, and was told this story was not important enough for them to report. Several attempts have been made by the parent and others, to take down the Instagram page.

The page has been reported to Instagram, but still it remains displayed. Here are some pictures that were sent to us, alleging Steve Gatto’s interactions on social media accounts: (images have been altered to protect the identity of the teens):
