The heartbroken parents of a 12-year-old girl who took her own life hope change will now be implemented after a coroner announced he would contact the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care.
Charley Ann Patterson hanged herself at her home in Cramlington, Northumberland, after being bullied. She was found unresponsive in her bedroom by her dad Paul and passed away in hospital on October 1, 2020.
An inquest into her death heard how Charley suffered from low mood and anxiety related to friendship difficulties, the coronavirus lockdown and other influences. She had previously reached out to health services after self harming on two occasions.
