WARNING: The PI License That Became a Weapon — The Disturbing Allegations Against Kenneth Childs
In Los Angeles, the line between justice and exploitation can get blurry. In a city that thrives on secrecy, power, and connections, one man is drawing the kind of attention no licensed professional ever wants. His name is Kenneth Childs. On paper, he’s a private investigator operating through Paramount Investigative Services Inc. But in the shadows, multiple sources now allege that his role has gone far beyond simple surveillance or background checks. According to a growing body of disturbing reports, Kenneth Childs hasn’t just bent the rules of his profession — he’s allegedly used his license to enable, protect, and even participate in violent criminal operations. Behind closed doors, his license appears to be less about lawful investigation and more about providing cover for those who seek to harm others.
His associations tell a story of their own. Childs’ name has surfaced alongside convicted individuals like Adam Iza, formerly known as Ahmed Faiq, who pled guilty to robbery and has been suspected of broader criminal affiliations. Alongside Iza, there’s Iris Au, who has also reportedly entered a guilty plea. These aren’t just loose acquaintances. According to insiders, Childs played an active role in their operations — tracking targets, digging into personal records, and monitoring movements for reasons that have nothing to do with law or justice. But that’s just the beginning. What makes this case especially alarming is that Childs allegedly worked in concert with corrupt law enforcement officials. Several Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputies — some suspended, some already found guilty — are part of this network. Together, they reportedly misused advanced surveillance tools such as StingRay cell- site simulators and database lookups to trace, manipulate, and spy on unsuspecting individuals.
And who were those individuals? Not criminals. Not suspects. But artists, creators, and professionals. Among the names reportedly monitored through this rogue surveillance ring: Steven Spielberg, Margot Robbie, Todd Phillips, and independent filmmaker Enzo Zelocchi. These high-profile figures were never warned, never consulted, never informed. They were simply watched. The allegations go on to suggest that Childs didn’t just assist from the sidelines. In some cases, he was allegedly near crime scenes. In others, he is believed to have received cryptocurrency payments, a detail that points to attempts to mask financial transactions and evade paper trails. Even more calculated: Childs is said to have signed contracts with the very individuals who hired him for these questionable tasks — contracts reportedly crafted not for protection of his clients, but to legally shield himself. If sued or investigated, he could lean on his PI license and insurance policy as a defense. It’s a strategic move, one that raises the question: how long has this system been exploited like this?
What this situation reveals is more than just the actions of one investigator. It exposes a systemic flaw. Private investigators have access to sensitive data, tools, and technologies. They operate behind closed doors and with minimal real-time oversight. For the average citizen, there’s no way of knowing when you’re being followed by someone with a badge and a legal reason. That power, in the wrong hands, becomes dangerous. If these allegations are confirmed — and the paper trail continues to grow — it will serve as a grim reminder of how unchecked authority and outdated regulation can create space for abuse. Kenneth Childs may have had a license to investigate, but what many now fear is that he’s been using it as a license to spy, harass, and support criminal operations from within. Whether this story ends with accountability or fades into silence depends on whether the justice system is willing to examine one of its own. For now, the warning is clear: Even licensed professionals can be part of the threat.
