Warnings over 'skinny selfies' craze on social media

Some of the country's top child psychiatrists say they are very concerned about an online craze for so-called "skinny selfies" among teenagers.

They are warning that the sharing of pictures, mainly by girls on social media websites, is fuelling anorexia among young people.

They say it is also making the treatment of sufferers much more difficult.
