Abstract
Australians have been shocked by an incident on the Sunshine Coast this month in which a 13-year-old girl was imprisoned, assaulted and tortured over many hours, allegedly by three girls aged 12, 13 and 14.
The alleged perpetrators also filmed the abuse, which went viral online with photos and videos being shared across news outlets and social media profiles.
Some people may think they’re supporting victims by watching the videos and then expressing their outrage at their treatment. Morbid curiosity about the event might also prompt people to view the photos or videos.
But there are three key reasons why you should never view, download or share photos or videos of children being assaulted.
