A SICK Instagram account dedicated to footage of Scots teenagers being beaten up has been slammed by victims.
Campaigners and MSPs hit out over the account last night, branding it "terrorising" for teens who are filmed.
After an outcry, Instagram bosses shut down the account yesterday - but only after the Daily Record raised the issue with the online giant.
The account emerged in the wake of the Record's Our Kids... Our Future campaign, which calls on social media firms to remove violent online clips involving youths.
The Insta profile, hosting 51 disturbing videos of children around Scotland being attacked, was set up in February and has 300 followers.
One of those uploaded involves the attacker of 13-year-old Abbie Jarvis, who spent two days in hospital after she was assaulted at a skatepark in Glasgow's Drumchapel on October 4, 2021.
The clip shows two girls assaulting one another, before the victim is dragged by her hair, pushed on to the ground and booted in the face.
Commenting on the footage, Abbie, who has been diagnosed with PTSD BY since her own ordeal, told the Record: "I felt as though I was doing well and as soon as I saw the video it just made me too scared to leave the house again.
"Knowing she is out there battering people again is terrifying, it makes me really mad.
"Her life hasn't changed at all but mine has in so many ways. I used to be able to go out and see my friends but now I just can't go out any more.
"I don't understand what people get from making these accounts up.
