Teenager commits suicide after photograph of her 'being gang-raped' goes viral It was then that the boys took pictures of the attack and of her vomiting out the window. Her mother said severe bullying and trauma following the incident meant Rehtaeh never fully recovered. According to Ms Parsons, Rehtaeh was repeatedly called a "slut" by fellow pupils and regularly received text messages jokingly asking for sex. Despite moving schools and to a different community entirely, she continued to suffer from depression and was forced to spend almost six weeks in hospital as she became increasingly suicidal. She hanged herself on Thursday and was taken off life support by her family on Sunday evening. In a Facebook page dedicated to the memory of Rehtaeh, which has received support from over 10,000 people, Ms Parsons recalled how the attack had scarred her daughter. "This day changed the lives of our family forever," she wrote. Rehtaeh was suddenly shunned by almost everyone she knew, the harassment was so bad she had to move out of her own community to try to start anew. She acted on an impulse but I truly in my heart of heart do not feel she meant to kill herself. The police did not arrest or convict anyone in connection with the incident, citing a lack of evidence. Authorities have not yet responded to a request from The Telegraph for comment. Justice Minister Ross Landry has reportedly said he hoped to meet with Ms Parsons soon to discuss the case. The incident comes just months after another young Canadian teenager took her own life when a topless picture of her taken when she was just 12 spread over the internet. Amanda Todd, who died aged 15, spiralled into depression and suffered panic attacks after the stranger who recorded the photo blackmailed and harassed her over the internet. Following her suicide, a motion was introduced in Parliament urging for a study into the scope of bullying in Canada and to do more to support anti-bullying organisations. At the end of her tribute to her daughter, Ms Parsons attributed blame to those she thought most responsible for her death. "Rehtaeh is gone today because of the four boys that thought that raping a 15-year-old girl was ok, and to distribute a photo to ruin her spirit and reputation would be fun," she said. Secondly, all the bullying and messaging and harassment that never let up are also to blame. Lastly, the justice system failed her. Those are the people that took the life of my beautiful girl.
