Frankston High, St Francis Xavier students face-off in more vile ‘fight club’ clips

A horrific Instagram page showing violent attacks on students has yet to be shutdown by moderators, as more vile clips surface online in a distressing blow to victims.

At least 10 more fight club videos have emerged on a shocking Instagram page showing distressing and violent attacks on students from state and private schools.

The page, focusing on Frankston and the southeastern suburbs, now features more disturbing footage showing altercations between young females being thrown to the ground, kicked and stomped on.

It comes after the Herald Sun revealed earlier this week more than 130 brutal fights involving kids had been posted on the Instagram page which celebrates vicious brawls, including more than 30 just in the past week.

Students from more than 10 schools including Frankston High School and St Francis Xavier College in Beaconsfield, are involved, with the page boasting more than 2000 followers.

More vile 'fight club' accounts on social media have emerged show fights between Melbourne school students.

In one confronting video uploaded on Monday, an altercation is shown on school grounds between two teenage girls, with one of them grabbing the other’s hair, while slamming her to the ground and stomping on her head.

Classmates can be heard cheering the brawl on, as the fearful victim puts her hands over her face to protect herself.

In another recent video, two males, also in school uniform, can be seen punching each other near a locker bay, with one of them falling to the ground and being kicked several times in the head.

A parent, from Melbourne’s southeast, who asked not to be named, said she was angered the Instagram page had still not been taken down.

“I’ve now reported this horrible page more than 10 times and it still hasn’t been deleted. It’s still saying the content doesn’t go against their guidelines, it’s disgusting.”

A senior police officer operating in Melbourne’s southeast said he was also frustrated that the Instagram page had not been taken down.

“The videos are extremely graphic and it just astounds me that Instagram has not taken the reports seriously,” the source said.

Cyber security expert Susan McLean said such clips could be removed within 24 hours if they were reported properly.

“I am working with schools all the time to get this kind of content removed,” she said.

Ms McLean said the sites spurred children on to outdo each other.

“Everyone wants to go one up – one clip has 1000 likes than the next one has 1500 likes and then the next 2000,” she said.

“The platform has a role to play and so do schools.”

Ms McLean, who is a former police officer, said the videos showed clear examples of criminal assault. “The police should be involved and the individuals should be charged,” she said.

An eSafety Commissioner spokeswoman said: “eSafety expects online platforms operating in Australia to uphold their terms of service and remove content that breaches these standards.” “Under the Online Safety Act 2021, the eSafety Commissioner also has powers to require the removal of the most harmful online content, no matter where it is hosted,” she said.

A Victoria Police spokeswoman said assaults should “absolutely not” be “celebrated or shared for entertainment purposes”.

“If you witnessed an assault or have been a victim of this kind of violence, we strongly encourage you to contact police immediately so the matter can be investigated,” she said.

A Department of Education spokesman said: “We work actively with community organisations and the police to address and prevent any violence or conflict outside school grounds leading to incidents inside schools.”
