THE father of Phoebe Prince, who died by suicide after a campaign of bullying against her, has criticised the US school where she was targeted, writes Colin Gleeson.
The 15-year-old Irish schoolgirl took her life in January after being tormented by a gang of bullies in her US school in Massachusetts.
Jeremy Prince, a gardener from Co Clare, said his daughter felt there was no point in telling her family about the bullying.
"Phoebe's perception -- and I think it was the correct one -- is that if she had told us, we would have been down at the school ranting and raving, but that the school would not do anything about it and it would actually get worse," he said.
