Nova Scotia, Canada Girl, 17, Kills Herself After Cyber Bullying



Tragic: Rehtaeh Parsons, 17, has killed herself after allegedly being gang-raped and then bullied


Victim: Rehtaeh hanged herself on April 4 after a constant campaign of bullying on the Internet and in real life that lasted a staggering 17 months even though she switched schools and moved house

[From article]
Rehtaeh eventually closed down her Facebook page because there were so many men asking her to have sex with them. They would say: ‘You had sex with my friend, so why not me?’
The response from the school was, apparently, to do very little.
Halifax school board spokesman Doug Hadley has said that none of the boys were spoken to.
Neither was Miss Parsons, and she still has not had a conversation with anyone from the school even to this day.

‘...My daughter wasn’t bullied to death, she was disappointed to death. Disappointed in people she thought she could trust, her school, and the police.
