There’s something all over social media but I’m limited in what I can say about it. Last week, three teenage girls were charged in Queensland for allegedly torturing another teenage girl for several hours. There are legal restrictions against naming the alleged victim or offenders, but anyone who’s been on one of the major social media platforms would know their names and more. In fact, Crikey‘s lawyers are so concerned that we won’t even say which platform out of an abundance of caution.
Footage allegedly showing the incident and social media posts purportedly from one of the minors charged have gone mega-viral.
