Snapchat bullying death: Parents not told of outbursts, inquest told

Pembrokeshire council previously said there was a bullying response system in place at the school.

Malcolm Duthie, from the council, said when friends were asked if they believed Megan was being bullied, “all of them said no”, adding she may have been upset by an argument with another pupil and concern for her father’s health.

Ms Harteveld said there were “a number of things that were affecting her”.

Mr Duthie added it would be hard for the school to obtain any evidence of bullying as most of it took place on Snapchat.

Ms Harteveld said that the social media platform is the “best friend” of unkind behaviour and a “horrific social media tool” as messages disappear after 24 hours.

Megan was found dead in her family home in Milford Haven on the evening of 7 February 2017.

Ms Harteveld told police she had “no idea why Megan would do this”, and that they had attended a meeting at school about a trip to France that evening and Megan was looking forward to a Justin Bieber concert.

The inquest continues.
