A boy filmed the incident with his cell phone as two violent girls beat up a 13-year-old in Upper Austria. First with their hands, then with a knee to the face. The video then ended up on social media—the perpetrators remain unpunished. The victim’s mother is desperate.

It’s hard to put into words what’s shown in a video obtained by the “Krone.” Under the pretext of going swimming together, a 13-year-old girl is lured to the Traun River. Once she reaches the riverbank, five underage boys and two girls are waiting for her. One boy is already holding a cell phone camera up to her and filming.
