Footage has emerged of a 16-yr-old girl being brutally attacked by a gang of eight in Melbourne.

I have to warn you, the video you’re about to watch is confronting, it’s graphic, and if you have a heart, it’ll break it to bits.

But I have to show it to you, and you need to pass it on because everyone needs to see what happened to this defenceless 16-yr-old girl on Sunday at Southern Cross Station.

To think this gang was so proud of the cowardice behaviour that they shared it on Snapchat makes me sick to my stomach.

The scary thing is it happened in the middle of the day, in front of bystanders who did nothing to help the defenceless child.

How could you witness such a thing happening to a little girl and refuse to intervene?

I’ve spoken to the victim’s mother, and she says the worst part of it wasn’t even shared, moments later they dragged her daughter off the bench and stomped on her.

They hospitalised their victim who sustained numerous injuries, including broken ribs.

The terrified 16-yr-old is too scared to make a police statement in fear of retribution.

Police said they couldn’t open an investigation without a victim statement.

Usually, here I plug supporting our work at TR news which you’re still welcome to do, of course. Just go to TR.News/support. But if you have limited means and can only help one person, help this girl’s GofundMe page, she needs and deserves it more than us right now.
