16-year-old Cornwall schoolgirl and BGT hopeful killed herself after relentless online bullying, claims family
A 16-year-old schoolgirl and 'Britain's Got Talent' hopeful killed herself after she was the target of vicious online bullying by teenagers, as well as their parents. Trixie Hart, from Cornwall, was already diagnosed with mental health problems such as ADHD, a personality disorder, and anxiety. The relentless hounding she received on social media would eventually result in her taking the drastic step of ending her life.
According to Daily Mail, Trixie killed herself at her home in September after waiting for her mother to leave for work. Her grandmother, April Gunn, did not mince words when it came to who she blamed for the 16-year-old's death. "She [Trixie] was horribly misunderstood, and subjected to bullying online. This was not just from children but also from their parents saying horrible things about her," she said.
