A 12-year-old rape victim killed herself after police came to her home and discouraged her from pressing charges, a devastated family has claimed, as they say she was made to feel ‘like she was an inconvenience’. Semina Halliwell, from Southport, was allegedly raped by an older boy after being groomed over Snapchat before her death on June 12 last year.

Summary List Placement TikTok is no longer an underdog. The app is now the second most popular platform for influencer marketing (trailing just behind Facebook-owned Instagram and tied with Facebook itself), according to a recent survey of 163 marketers by Linqia, an influencer-marketing agency. Linqia surveyed 163 enterprise marketers and agency professionals (at companies with over $1 billion in revenue) between February and March about their influencer marketing plans for 2021. A whopping 68% of marketers surveyed said they planned on using TikTok for influencer marketing in 2021. That's a dramatic shift from Linqia's survey in early 2020, when only 16% of respondents had indicated they planned to use the short-form video platform. Instagram remained the leading choice for influencer marketing, however. Here was the breakdown of all the major social-media platforms: Instagram: 93% of respondents said they'd be using Instagram (another 83% specifically mentioned Stories) TikTok: 68% (up from 16%) Facebook: 68% (down from 79%) YouTube: 48% Pinterest: 35% Twitter: 32% Snapchat: 26% (up from 16%) Twitch: 13% (up from 5%) "TikTok is here to stay and brands know that," Brian Sorel, COO of the influencer-marketing company NeoReach, told Insider in January.
