One of the teenagers that plumed to death from the Erskine Bridge had a “fantasy” about being taken into care. Neve Lafferty 15, and Georgia Rowe 14 made a pact in 2009 to apparently commit suicide by throwing themselves of the bridge. The mother of Neve told the inquiry that her daughter loved watching TV show Tracy Beaker, which was based around a care home. Neve lived with her father, Paul Lafferty a heroin addict. Neve also took drugs, this she reported in one of her school essay. After her boyfriend died of an drug overdose and her father committed himself to a psychiatric ward the same day; Neve returned to the Good Shepherd Centre. She ran away three times in four days. She threatened to "walk to the Erskine Bridge and commit suicide" and that she would "find a way to be with Jonny (her boyfriend)". We all know how this story ended.
It is a terrible story. I think this girl needed a lot of help. Poor thing was neglected by her father; did not want to live with her mother (for god knows what). I think that they had to help her by assigning a psychologist and stimulate her to talk with him/her. Now she is dead and she took someone with her (I do not know what the motives where of the other girl). Still this could have been prevented if they had taken her away when she was just a child. What is that girl doing with a dad that is an heroin addict? Now she is dead... (story is about the girl on the right)

This girl really needs help. She is in terrible shape and I do not think that she can live her life without help. It is terrible how people can live like this and also the fact that she says she wants to commit suicide. Where is the good childhood? Where we all played with barbies and other toys. Let's go back to that time and enjoy life again and forget about drugs and all the troubles.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is so sad. It's a shame she is gone now. She really wasn't living in a real world that's for sure. With a split up family with problems it is not that weird her conditions were so bad and she had thoughts about commiting suicide. If she sees the world as a world full of hate and sadness and if she only got to see that part of the world and not the loving part, life isn't fun. Unfortunately she never got to expierence that.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is such a sad story. She had a very difficult life with big problems. I also think like Laura that she needed a lot of help. Now they passed away and no one can do something about it. I do not understand why people wait with helping the in trouble.
