A Dublin mother has lifted the lid on a suspected paedophile ring involving several Irish adults and foreign nationals who she claims have been grooming her young daughter since she was just 14.
Remaining anonymous to protect the identity of her now suicidal daughter, the distraught mum claims to have uncovered text messages going back over a year which were sent to her child by grown men who ask her to meet in random apartments and swanky hotels, luring her with promises of MDMA and weed.
In three videos sent by the mother to Dublin Live, her girl, who is now 15, is seen "out of her mind".
One video shows shows her with her child's eyes rolling back in her head as she appears to be is propped up by one of her predators.
The woman says that her teenage daughter would lie about her whereabouts in the beginning, saying she was staying with friends, but her mam soon found out she was elsewhere and started clamping down on her freedom.
At that point, the girl's mother told Dublin Live, she resorted to sneaking out of their home and going missing for days on end.
During her last absence, the teenager who is still too young to legally drink, drive or smoke was missing for well over a week.
Speaking to Dublin Live, her mam has revealed the heartache at discovering the last year of her worst nightmare coming true, pinpointing three main sickos in what she believes to be a massive Dublin-wide paedophile ring spanning north, south and west.
She claimed: "It's a paedophile ring centered solely around the temptation of drugs.
"She is being groomed and can't see it. Older men will message her, telling her she's beautiful and asking to meet up but not too tell anyone.
"She's been asked to meet up with lads in apartments in Tallaght, Ashtown, Cabra and Ongar. She goes because she likes the attention she's getting but doesn't understand how wrong it is.
"She won't talk out to me about it because she's afraid of getting threatened like she has been in the past".
The disturbing experiences are having a horrendous effect on the Dublin teen's mental health, her devastated mum claims, leading her on several occasions to attempt to take her own life.
Her mam continued: "She's only 15 and already has a problem with weed - she needs rehab.
"I've had to do DIY drug tests at home for her where she's come back positive for MDMA and weed.
"It is having a severe effect on her mental health. She has cut her wrists on several occasions and tried to kill herself as a result of the past 12 months.
"She started having mood swings and I thought it was just part of growing up but she's turned from this sweet young kid into someone completely different.
"They are manipulating her. She thinks they're her friends, telling her how gorgeous she is but she's only 15 - some of these people are in their late 20s and early 30s."
The last 12 months have been a nightmare scenario for both mum and daughter.
As well as the suspected paedophile ring, her daughter was also allegedly brutally attacked by a man when she refused to get into his car.
"He grabbed her by the throat and assaulted her telling her to get in but thankfully she managed to get away.
"When she came home, she just went upstairs and acted as if nothing happened.
"It was only when my son found out down the town that we confronted her and she opened up about it. If she's hiding that, what else could she be afraid to tell us?"
The above message was sent to her daughter by a man believed to be in his 20s who the woman claims is in a relationship and even has a kid of his own.
These perverts use snapchat as a means of chatting to underage girls, dropping information about meet-up locations over snaps.
"She's vulnerable. She'll add anyone on snapchat, if anyone gets her username and adds her, she'll add them back even if she doesn't know them.
"The older men will send her a snap with information and a location and say 'come meet me now'.
"One of the girls will offer to bring her to the apartment. She goes out with one of the older men there who offers to sleep with the young girls in the house."
When quizzed by Dublin Live about the parenting levels being implemented on her daughter, the mam said it had now become a 24-hour job to keep an eye on her.
"She didn't want to come home. Tusla have been a great help. She hasn't been taken off me but she has been put in a foster care home.
"If she comes home, she'll just do the same thing again. She needs help and she needs to wake up."
Gardai are currently investigating the situation and have held onto the teenager's iPhone as evidence into tracking down some of the sick and perverted people involved in the grooming.
Her mam warns: "I will not rest until I get to the bottom of this. And every other parent needs to wake up and be aware about the dangers that their children are being faced with in Dublin.
"I just want people to know that this is very real and happening under our noses. These sickos are adding kids and taking advantage - but you would never think that this stuff would happen to your kids.
"I just want my child back."
