What a shame. Very sad for everyone involved.

If parents are more actively involved in their children's lives, many of these things would never happen. Still as a parent it's impossible to know everything that's going on. Just try to always communicate with your kids and let them know they can come to you if they need anything.

And for the record, I mean this in both cases. It's horrible that this girl was bullied for so long that she felt suicide was a necessary out. It's certainly though just as disturbing that these sick kids who felt it was necessary to verbally abuse this girl were not monitored at all in their social networking and school life. Clearly in this case, the father is completely oblivious to the fact that his daughter had pushed a girl into feeling like she needed to die. Poor parenting...
