A WA teenager has shared her story exclusively with 7.30, and authorities fear there are more victims like her out there.
ABC Investigations' Daryna Zadvirna has this report, and David Speers speaks to the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant.
Warning: This story includes strong references to self-harm and suicide and may be distressing for some viewers.
