Amanda Todd, a Canadian girl of 15 years, has caused uproar on the internet - especially in the home country and the United States. She committed suicide last week, precisely on Wednesday (10), after long years of suffering called cyber bullying through the world wide web.
The teenager made a video, posted by YouTube platform, which recounts his story of bullying and depression he suffered at school and on the Internet. Without showing her face, Amanda drew attention to this important issue that occasionally leaves evidence to then return to the agenda of society. Unfortunately, sometimes motivated by tragic events such as the suicide of Amanda.
BBC report from London says that Amanda became a victim of bullying since age 12, when she showed her breasts in a chat. Then, the image appeared topless in a Facebook page. She changed schools, but remained harassment. Amanda drank bleach and surrendered to alcohol, drugs and antidepressants. Nothing worked.
The YouTube video dated September this year shows the desperation of the girl. She reports feeling alone with no one. Amanda received messages of support for Google's video site, but there were also people posting hateful comments in response to content published by it.
A Facebook page in honor of Amanda has over 900,000 fans. The description reads: "HATE IS NOT ACCEPT", anyway, in uppercase.
Her mother, Carol Todd, told a newspaper in Vancouver, Canada, one of the goals was Amanda spread their message. "I lost a daughter, but I know that his wish was that the story would save thousand more."
Currently the Canadian police investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Amanda. Received more than 400 tracks and there is a group of 20 to 25 officers dedicated to the case.
The collective Anonymous says it has identified the person responsible for the constant bullying against girl: a 30 year old man living in New Westminster, Canada. The information was published on Pastebin.
Here is further proof that the Internet opens many positive experiences, but can also lead to terrible ends like Amanda. Of course the internet as a tool that is not to blame - it does not act alone. Guilt have people who are dedicated to spreading hate with messages of intolerance in various sites. It was on YouTube and Facebook, but it could be anywhere. Sadly.
