The father of a teenager from Lutterworth who killed herself after being bullied online is calling on David Cameron for tougher site regulations to protect vulnerable children from bullying.

Hannah Smith, who was 14, died on Friday. Her father, Dave Smith, has today released a statement:

“Websites like this are bullying websites because people can be anonymous. If I had not have spoken up about this another teenager could be dead next week. Ask FM and sites like this are making millions out of people’s misery and it is wrong.”

“I would appeal to David Cameron as Prime Minister and a father to look at this to make sure these sites are properly regulated, so bullying of vulnerable children like my daughter cannot take place,” said Dave Smith.

Dave Smith continued:

“I do not want any other parent to go through what I am going through. We sleep downstairs now. We do not have a bedtime. Since this happened, I have only had 3 hours sleep a night. I want this to be sorted out as soon as possible, so no other vulnerable children die.”

“She was a bubbly, happy person. She was colourful. She was a normal teenager and was very, very happy.”

“For Hannah to do something like this? We never expected this. We never saw any sign of her doing this. I have now got to concentrate on burying my daughter and need to be left alone to bury her and to grieve properly for her.”
