When mom, Brittany Champagne, uploads pictures to Facebook, she always makes sure that her privacy settings only allow her friends to see them.
But much to her dismay and disgust, Facebook restrictions weren't enough to stop one perverted hacker.
After her privacy was mysteriously breached, photos of her 8-year-old daughter and 9-month-old son began appearing on multiple pornography websites.
Champagne first discovered something was up when she came across an Instagram page with a photo of her daughter on it and knew it wasn't real.
"I clicked on there and I found a girl claiming to be 11, as my daughter, and she's a bisexual cheerleader and her whole page is about gay pride," she said.
Then, Champagne found images of her daughter and son tagged with several porn website feeds. Because of the inappropriate hashtags, she told KUTV-TV that the images of her children ended up spreading to at least 11 different pornography websites.
Since she discovered the pictures last Wednesday, Champagne has been working tirelessly to have them removed from all the sites.
"I can't even tell you how long I've been awake since last night and today just trying to take down every photo I find," she told the Unified Police Department last week.
Unfortunately, even if all the photos are deleted, it seems that the emotional scarring will probably be something Champagne deals with for quite some time.
"I can't imagine how my kids would feel. I feel beyond violated, so I don't even know what they would feel. I seriously feel like the worst mom having put these on there and seeing what happened," she said. "I didn't feel that posting family photos could turn into something like that."
