Vulnerable children fighting easting disorders and psychological problems which make them hate themselves, their bodies and their lives are being targeted by 'coaches' online who teach them how to starve themselves and 'inspire' them with mean abuse.
The coaches use a technique called “meanspo” – mean inspiration - calling children disgusting and fat to get them to lose weight they don't need to lose.
Comments used on social media platforms include “Look how fat your thighs are… stuff those chubby fingers down your throat and purge for me.”
