Extreme acts of torture are being filmed and broadcast online in warning and revenge acts against Victorian youth gang members and their affiliates.

The Herald Sun has seen a number of violent and gruesome acts of torture against Melbourne teenagers — such as forcing them to eat their own waste and slashing them with machetes — in what is becoming another alarming element of local street gangs.

A teenage boy was recently forced to consume his own faeces in an online video that continues to circulate on social media.

The boy, appearing on a group video call, was ordered to reach into the toilet and pick up what was left in the bowl.

“Hurry up, eat your s---. Pick it up,” the person barking orders was heard saying.

“Now show your face, turn your camera on. Now eat it, put it all in your mouth.

“More.”

Another person on the group call was heard laughing while another said it was “dirty”.

It is unclear what that act relates to but it is one of the more confronting and grim demands made among criminals of any level.

In another vile online clip, a young person has backed into the corner of a room and had their legs repeatedly slashed with a huge serrated knife.

The boy filming that was heard barking orders at the unarmed and defenceless victim.

“Say sorry right now. Take your shoes off right now, take your shoes off right now, right now,” the boy filming yelled.

“Say ‘I’m A—’s bitch’. You ain’t going nowhere.”

The victim was also heard yelling “I’m sorry, please” over and over again.

It is believed that torture clip was in response to the victim moving drugs to the relative of the person filming.

Another boy was forced to sit on the floor of a playground as a huge knife was held to his face before a pair of armed thugs attacked him moments later.

The shirtless and bleeding teen then had two machetes repeatedly swung at his legs as he pleaded for the two thugs to drop their weapons.

The Herald Sun understands the victim in that video had possibly previously expressed his intentions to assault those affiliated with the person filming.

That too was a daylight and public attack filmed and posted online.

Another boy was also gang-bashed and stabbed by a group of thugs all armed with machetes in a vicious street attack posted online in March.

The defenceless boy, who was pleading with his attackers to stop, was filmed being slashed with a machete after he was relentlessly punched and kicked in the head several times.

His iPhone was then nicked from the footpath he was laying on.

It is understood the torture sessions are filmed and shared online to warn others of the consequences of speaking ill of a rival youth gang or their members.

Those online videos are then shared by fellow gang members and wild youth offenders which only multiplies the amount of views each clip receives.

Victims also often feel discouraged to contact police out of fear of further bloody retribution.

Victoria Police declined to comment.

The Herald Sun in March revealed sadistic torture sessions were being filmed and distributed within Melbourne’s volatile gangland scene.

One man’s ear was sliced off with an angle grinder in one of the more hardcore instances of torture seen among any crime circles.
