Vigilante groups have threatened to burn down the home of the alleged female leader accused of torturing a 13-year-old girl in a terrifying four-hour ordeal.
The alleged victim posted an update on TikTok revealing the alleged names of her three attackers – aged 14, 13 and 12 – who have since been charged by police.
Now online supporters have published an address to the eldest girl with threats to bomb the house, throw rocks through the windows and assault the accused teen.
On Thursday, Queensland Police said they had now launched an investigation into the threats and in a statement to Daily Mail Australia they warned would-be vigilantes to stand down.
“People who do try to take matters into their own hands could very well have any weapon pointed at themselves and could take damage,” said a spokesman.
“In some cases, they may take legal action themselves, depending on their actions.”

A shocking video posted on social media showed three individuals allegedly assaulting the young girl by smashing bottles over her face and stabbing her with a kitchen knife while she was stripped naked.
The footage also allegedly showed the girl being tied up, repeatedly punched in the face as she begged for mercy, burned and stomped, and knives thrown at her.
Multiple social media accounts in the name of the alleged leader have been bombarded with sinister threats.
“Let’s go – only 1 hour away,” one posted on a post revealing the alleged leader’s home address. “Me and the tribe are about to be at her door.”
Another ominously posted, “No more house, just a pile of ashes.”
“She’s going to cry and beg to stop,” another threatened. “Why is it still breathing?” asked another.
Others have targeted the mother of one of the suspects and her sister.
“Everyone is after your daughters so spend as much time with them as you can because once they walk the streets they’re done,” a menacing post promised.
Police said their investigation was continuing, with a warning of dire potential consequences for any retaliatory attacks or identifying those involved.
“To ensure the safety of the community, police advise members of the public not to engage in methods of disrupting criminal activity or retaliation that could put them at risk of personal injury or further legal action,” added a spokesperson for it.
“Police have launched an investigation in connection with this matter and it would be inappropriate to comment further and inappropriate to identify a victim of a crime.”

The alleged victim told police she was reportedly lured to a home in Tewantin on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast by an invitation to a party when the alleged attack occurred on March 11.
The trio are accused of showering the 13-year-old girl later to remove the blood.
The chilling threats from vigilantes come as Australia rallies around the alleged victim, raising more than $35,000 for her in just 24 hours.
A GoFundMe appeal was launched by the alleged victim’s mother under a photo of her daughter’s blood-stained face, which quickly shot past the initial goal of $1,111.
Reality TV star Jessika Power is the largest donor, making a generous $1,000 gift to the fund shortly after launch.
The names of the alleged victim or accused teens cannot be published for legal reasons due to their age, which also means Daily Mail Australia cannot link to the Gofundme web page identifying the alleged victim.
‘Because so many people have asked us to set up a Gofundme to help support [my daughter] in extremely difficult times, we have decided to continue,” her mother said.
‘[My daughter] been through a lot lately, as I’m sure you know.
‘She was [allegedly] viciously attacked by three people for hours and was placed in hospital for recovery.
“This has been traumatizing not only physically, but mentally as well.”
The mother previously revealed how she found her daughter with an unrecognizable swollen face after the alleged assault.

“It looked like her head was going to explode,” her mother told the Courier Mail. “She was stabbed in the knee, which just missed her tendon, but she also has a broken wrist.”
The mother said she feared her daughter “should be dead” after the alleged attack and spent a week in hospital recovering.
She added on the GoFundMe call, “The kind words my daughter receives from you are so appreciated. We are so very grateful to you all.
“Just the affection alone has been enough to lift her mood and make her feel loved beyond measure.
“It feels overwhelming – so many have offered and we can’t thank you enough as we have a long road ahead of us.
‘Thank you millions of times and more!! It’s not about the money, even just your kind words and prayers go a long way!
‘We love you all’
