This is why it's so important to know what your kids are doing online.

6ABC.com reports on a story that takes us to Utica, NY, where a teenager was murdered by someone who turned out to be a friend of hers on the social media platform famous for its pictures: Instagram.

17-year-old Bianca Davis had her corpse on display for the world to see after her alleged killer posted morbidly gruesome photos of the girl's dead body to his Instagram account.

While some were reportedly trying to get those spreading the pictures to desist, others were apparently praising the girl's murder. The suspected killer in question, Brandon Clark, called the authorities himself. Upon arrival, emergency personnel discovered Clark reportedly tried to stab himself.
