The heartbroken mum of a teenage girl who died after taking ecstasy has paid tribute to her 'beautiful' daughter and is urging parents to speak to their children about drugs. Lila-Grace Smith, 17, took the class A drug for the first time during a sleepover with friends in June.
Her parents Emma Hargreaves, 40, and Campbell Smith, 41, thought the friend's parents were also in the house with them. But the girls were home alone when they took the drug, though it is currently unknown where they got it from.
A police investigation has taken place but no one has been charged in connection with Lila's death, her family said. Now devastated Emma wants parents to warn their children about the risk of taking drugs - and what to do if someone around them needs medical help.
