Mum Finds 8-Year-Old Daughter’s Pics On Porn Sites

An Utah mum, Brittany Champagne, was left in anguish when she discovered pictures of her 8-year-old daughter on nearly a dozen porn sites after an unidentified person stole them from her Facebook page.

Daily News reports;

She discovered photos of the girl Wednesday night on a fake Instagram account that claimed to be an 11-year-old bisexual girl, a feed that also included pics of Champagne and her 9-month-old baby boy.

The sick social media hack had apparently lifted the photos from Champagne’s Facebook page and uploaded them to the bizarre Instagram feed while tagging several porn website feeds in the posts. Champagne, who lives in Riverton in the Salt Lake City area, later found the images on “at least 11 porn sites,” she told the TV station.

The mom had set her Facebook page to allow only her friends to view her pictures, but she’ll now avoid any posting of family photos whatsoever, she said. And she reported the disturbing episode to the Unified Police Department.

But a spokesman for the local police told the station that it didn’t appear a crime had been committed, although the mom’s plight should caution social media users that anything they post online can often be accessed by anyone, according to CNN.

Champagne has been working tirelessly to get the photos taken down and she told KUTV that she felt “like the worst mom” when she saw her family photos on the raunchy sites.

“I can’t imagine how my kids would feel,” Champagne said. “I feel beyond violated, so I don’t even know what they would feel.”

Facebook users should employ a tool on their profiles that allows them to check out their page as a member of the public would see it or how individual friends would view it on at least a monthly basis in order to check their security settings, Consumer Reports magazine recommended in a wide-ranging 2012 Facebook privacy tutorial.

“If you’ve never used Facebook’s privacy controls, you may be sharing more information than you intend,” the magazine cautioned.
