One mom’s benign family Facebook pictures of her 8-year-old daughter
wound up on nearly a dozen porn sites thanks to a secret perv.
Utah mother Brittany Champagne told KUTV-TV
that 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 pictures of Champagne and her 9-month-old boy.
The sick social media hack 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, near Salt Lake City, 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 posting any family photos whatsoever,
she said. She reported the disturbing episode to the Unified Police
Department.
But a police spokesman told the station it didn’t appear a crime had been committed, according to CNN.
Brittany Champagne told a local TV station she discovered photos of her daughter while browsing Instagram on Wednesday night.
Representatives for Facebook and Instagram, which both have mechanisms
for reporting inappropriate content, didn’t immediately respond to
requests for comment.
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 use a tool that allows them to check out their
pages the way the public would see it, and how individual friends would
view it, on at least a monthly basis in order to check their security
settings, Consumer Reports recommended.

Champagne told the local TV station she would avoid posting any pictures of her family on Facebook from now on.
“If you’ve never used Facebook’s privacy controls, you may be sharing more information than you intend,” the magazine cautioned.
