SUNSHINE COAST, AUSTRALIA: A 13-year-old girl who was brutally tortured by three vicious other minor girls for five hours, has made an emotional TikTok video. The suspects are 14, 13, and 12 years old. The accused, all of whom cannot be named due to their age, became friends with the victim and invited her to a house in Tewantin, near Noosa Heads, where she was allegedly tied up, burnt, stomped on, had bottles broken over her face, and had knives thrown at her, which sent her to hospital for a week, on March 11, 2023.
The 13-year-old filmed herself lying on her bed, and zoomed on her alleged bruises, showing her swollen face and badly bloodshot right eye as she mouths the words, "Change your name or change your mind and leave this f**ked up place behind," as the Roar song 'Christmas Kids' plays in the background of the video. The three culprits were charged with luring the victim and torture after a horrifying video of the incident was posted online.

'Have visions of my daughter on the floor'
The disturbing video shows one of the knife-wielding teen suspect threatening her and poking her with the weapon, while another repeatedly throws punches in the victim's face. The scared victim could be seen standing in a corner wearing just a bra and shorts. When the girl tries to walk out of the room, the knife-wielding girl grabs her by the hair and pulls her back. The three girls are also accused of making the 13-year-old take a shower to remove the blood. "Her face was swollen to a degree that you couldn't recognize her. It looked like her head was going to explode," her mother told the Courier Mail.
"She got stabbed in the knee, it just missed her tendon, but she also has a fractured wrist." Her mother claimed the victim tried to blame an assailant after the three girls threatened to harm her family. The victim and her family are currently in hiding from the three accused. Her distraught mother said, "I have visions of my daughter on the floor after seeing her face the first time and the way she called out my name." The poor victim claimed, "I wasn't even thinking. I didn't care what they had (allegedly) done to me. I just wanted to go home and see my little brother and my mum."
Queensland police say investigations are ongoing
Queensland Police said the three teen culprits face counts of assault occasioning bodily harm, deprivation of liberty, and armed robbery. "Police will allege on Saturday, March 11, a 13-year-old girl was invited into a home where she was subsequently prevented from leaving and filmed whilst being assaulted, taunted and cut with a knife over the period of several hours," police said. They are due to reappear in Maroochydore Children's Court in late March.
