Some people think that they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Or in this case, a Telegram group.
Some might believe that they’re just committing these heinous acts behind a screen so they can’t possibly be caught.
Their family won’t ever be aware of their crimes and their friends won’t realise what lurks beneath that seemingly innocent exterior.
