2. Ivy and Violet
Ivy is from New Zealand. Violet is from USA. Both girls are 12 years old when they are befriended online by ‘Chloe’. But they soon realise Chloe is not who she says she is.
What do you do when someone you trust turns out to not exist? 
When ‘Chloe’ starts messaging other teenage girls on social media she is friendly. Fun. Interested. Soon she sends explicit photos, and asks her new friends to send some back. That’s when she changes and the blackmail begins. Because ‘Chloe’ isn’t a real girl. She’s a catfish. And her depraved demands have fatal consequences.
