I tried to kill myself after web abuse hell aged 10
BECKY was just 10 when she was groomed online by an older teenager.
It led to an intense relationship that resulted in serious online sexual abuse and exploitation, and led to her attempting suicide.
She said: “In primary school, I was bullied by the other girls who picked on me constantly. I was later diagnosed with autism and they picked up on that.
“I felt isolated and really wanted to be accepted.
“At secondary school a girl introduced me to a guy she talked to on MSN. I was about 10 and he was about 16 or 17. I started talking to him every night. I became infatuated with him.
FANTASIES
“I was about 14 when it became more sexual. We started video chatting and I realised that to keep getting his validation, I had to keep acting out his fantasies.
“By 15, my mental health was really bad. I took an overdose and was rushed to hospital. A year later, the feelings of worthlessness led to another, which was more serious. I decided to stop talking to him for good.
“I’m now in a really good place after a lot of time and counselling.
“I know none of this was my fault, it was abuse.”
