The grieving parents of 12-year-old Charlotte O’Brien, an Australian teenager who tragically took her own life after being relentlessly bullied, shared their final moments with their daughter in an interview on 60 Minutes.
Mat and Kelly Howard went on the program to fulfill what they stated to be Charlotte’s last request: to share her story and raise awareness about the dangers of social media and its effects on the psychological well-being of teenagers.
“We were aware she had been struggling, but the last two weeks were the best we’d seen her in a long time,” Mat shared, recounting how blindsided he felt by his daughter’s improved mood just before she took her own life.
