Mum wants people to see this photo of her 12-year-old daughter before she took her own life

Semina Halliwell was just 12 years old when she took her own life. Now, her heartbroken mum wants the public to see this harrowing photo, taken of her days before she died.

Semina died on June 12 last year. She had spent four nights in hospital and mum Rachel said she took her own life not long after an interview with a police officer.

She had said she was raped by an older boy who she said had groomed her using Snapchat. Rachel has now issued the above picture of Semina, who was a Year 7 pupil at Stanley High School in Southport, after raising concerns about how police handler her daughter's case, reports the Liverpool Echo.
