Brad Summer, a father from Illinois, is warning parents after an alleged pedophile tried to solicit topless photos from his 7-year-old daughter via the musical.ly app.

The new app — which has over 200 million users worldwide — is a Chinese social media platform that allows users to create video, message and live stream either publicly or privately.

According to his Facebook post, Summer's daughter, Madi, uses the platform to share and communicate with family and friends, and he and his wife are the ones who accept or deny friends on the account.

"This app was on one of our phones for use when we were around. She used this app to connect with her cousins and make goofy duets of songs together," Summer wrote in the post. "We have accepted friends of theirs and our daughter believed this was another one. I never thought of someone pretending to be 9 to gain access to my child. We live and learn and I continue to do so everyday as a parent."

A person posing as a 9-year-old name Jessy began messaging Madi and asking her for topless photos. Luckily before anything more serious happened, Madi alerted her parents of the situation and they were able to notify the police.

"This post is meant as a warning call to others that let their children use this app," Summer wrote. "My child came and told me and it didn't get any further luckily. She followed what I taught her. I'm sure that others families aren't so lucky."

"By sharing, we have reached and informed so many families to be on the look out for these pedophiles ... I say that doing nothing, accomplishes nothing. Doing something, at a minimum, gives us hope."

According to Summer's post, the police have found the IP address of the suspect and secured a subpoena to freeze all records of the person or persons involved.
