TOWN OF HAMBURG, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Hamburg man has been arrested by police, accused of using social media to sell marijuana to juveniles.
Investigators say 34-year-old Cory Los-Schumacher used applications like Snapchat to coordinate the marijuana sales to young children.
"A grown man trying to manipulate a child," said Barry Rolls, who says his son was targeted. "If you love your kids, go through their phone."

Hamburg Police Captain Todd Ehret said this arrest was made because when Rolls found out about this, he checked his son's phone and took screenshots.
"Parents need to be aware of what their kids are doing on social media," said Captain Ehret. "If you have any doubt in your mind that your children were victims or they were contacted by this person, please bring it to our attention and we will investigate the matter."
Los-Schumacher is charged with Criminal Sale of Cannabis to a Person Under the Age of 21, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and Unlawfully Dealing with a Child.
Because this is a misdemeanor, Los-Shumacher has been released and will appear in court at a later date.
However, Hamburg Police say they're on top of this and are watching out for it. You can call them at (716) 648-5111.
