Mother of schoolgirl who took her life amid claims she was being cyber-bullied 'utterly heartbroken' after coroner ruled it was 'banter'
Daily MailThe mother of a teenage girl who took her own life amid claims of cyber-bullying said her family has been left 'utterly heartbroken' after a coroner ruled it may have been 'just banter'. The mother of Megan Evans, 14, who took her own life amid claims of cyber-bullying said her family has been left 'utterly heartbroken' after a coroner ruled it may have been 'just banter' Nicola Harteveld, mother of Megan Evans, 14, who died after a cyber-bullying campaign, said it was 'beyond disgusting to see a conclusion that tries to blur lines between bullying and banter' She said: 'Megan is dead, she clearly did not take it as banter. But Mr Bennett found Megan's decision to take her own life 'was not influenced by bullying or, per se, by social media'. Ms Harteveld said she and the family found the inquest process difficult - after pushing for answers for nearly eight years to finally having a date set a week after Megan's 22nd birthday.
