Hungary Spycam used by ‘friend’ on minor family members

Someone secretly took intimate photos of minors in my family with a spycam! Years later, those images are being sent to them, and the police are doing nothing in Hungary.

I’m keeping many details out of this post to protect the victims.

Years ago, someone took photographs in a disturbing and private setting without the victims’ knowledge. Recently, that same person contacted the victims and sent those images directly to them.

We have the messages, screenshots and more evidence!What we don’t have is the support needed to ensure this person is held accountable and prevented from causing further harm, as we do not want these images ending up online!

We thought to get help through the proper channels, expecting immediate action. Instead, the Hungarian police said there was nothing they could do and waved it off as it was nothing.

We need advice. Maybe Lawyers experienced in child protection, privacy, or digital crimes in Hungary. Victim support organisations. Journalists willing to investigate cases that otherwise go unnoticed. Anyone with experience navigating situations involving non-consensual images.

This is not about revenge, although I’m fuming. This is about protecting children. This is about preventing their images being thrown online for predators to prey on and this is about making sure nobody else has to go through the same thing because of this monster!

Thank you.
