Rehtaeh Parsons cyberbullying report calls for hospital review
Cyberbullying expert says more action needed to help young people after Halifax teen's death
CBC News June 14, 2013
A
review of how the Halifax Regional School Board handled events leading
up to the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, the teenager who took her life in
April after she was cyberbullied, is recommending an external review of
the Halifax hospital where she was a patient for five weeks after she
had a breakdown and became suicidal.
“Rehtaeh was a young woman of great promise whose needs were not met,” read the documents.
Ontario-based
education experts Debra Pepler and Penny Milton took less than a month
to explore 10 questions about anti-bullying programs in Nova Scotia
following the death of the 17-year-old.
Rehtaeh's parents say she
was raped by four boys at a party a year-and-a-half ago where she was
drunk. A picture of the alleged assault was circulated at her school and
in social media....

....That
was part of the chilling facts revealed during the week about the
circumstances surrounding the ritual killing of an okada rider at
Idi-Mango area of Sanyo, in Ibadan, Oyo State, as the two suspects
arrested, Femi Taiwo (30) and Kazeem Bamidele (35), confessed that the
deceased was actually killed for money-making ritual purposes. But they
claimed that they thought he was an armed robber, as they had been
specifically instructed to look for body parts of an armed robber.
....In
an interview with Saturday Tribune, Taiwo, an indigene of Abeokuta,
Ogun State, who is married with three kids, said: “My wife and kids are
with my mother in Abeokuta. I am an okada rider. I also work as a
security guard. I am an OPC member. I had a boss called Baba Oodua. He
was the one who first suggested that we could do money-making ritual if
we could lay hands on body parts of a thief or armed robber. He, myself
and Kazeem, the cobbler, were at the meeting where we discussed and
decided on the issue. We also contacted one Alfa who promised to do the
charm for us if we could bring some body parts.....
