The prinicpal of Santa Sabina College has met with the family of Charlotte O'Brien, the 12-year-old girl who died after years of relentless bullying, after a memorial to the schoolgirl was removed at the school.
Paulina Skerman met with the O'Brien family at their home today, and it comes after the school enlisted the help of a crisis PR firm.
The advice from Headspace is not straightforward - it cautions against inadvertently glamorising suicide, but it also says stopping memorials is not the way to avoid this. The family is hoping that the conversation can shift from Charlotte's death to protecting children from bullying. She said they had created the memorial 50 days after Charlotte's death "because we didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye".
