Global News reports that the family of a B.C. teenager who took her own life on October 10, 2012 is asking online bullies to leave the teenager alone.
Amanda Todd committed suicide in her family home on Wednesday, about a month after posting a video on YouTube saying that after enduring years of online bullying, blackmail and physical assaults at school, she had sunk into depression.
The bullying continued after her death. Images and comments making light of Todd’s death and suggesting she deserved to be bullied are flooding a Facebook memorial page dedicated the teen so many that Facebook can’t remove them fast enough.
Many of the posts come from the U.S., where Todd’s mother says the teen had a cyber-stalker who talked her into flashing her breasts then sent the pictures to her friends and teachers.
