My female friend got beat up by a boy right in the school. I saw it but was too scared to help in case he turned on me.
That's terrible. How long ago was this?

Not having alot of faith in the authorities of South Hadley, at this point, I'd like to know more about how she died. Are we sure it was suicide?

I don't advocate anyone stepping in the middle of a beat down. But calling 911 or alerting others would be an option.
You ask the same questions as I ask myself...I have seen so little info and conflicting info, I have my doubts.That was a question that I had from the first....no other family was apparently at home at the time, meaning she would have been first to arrive home at the end of the school day. If these abusers were attacking her and following her as she walked home...how is it known that they did not follow her into her house? I know that is a horrible thought, but one I hope that LE looked into.
FWIW... and this would be considered RUMOR only---several places local posters say that the charges regarding disrupting a school or public assembly are based on the actions of these abusers during the memorial gatherings after Phoebe's death.

I've read rumor of problems at the memorial, too...can't recall exactly what, right now, though...
No doubt an autopsy was done.

Boston Herald is now reporting on those hate websites...

State Rep. John W. Scibak, D-South Hadley, said there may be a discrepancy between the probes done by the office of Northwestern District Attorney’s office and South Hadley High School principal Daniel T. Smith as to “who knew what when.”
The state representative noted that School Superintendent Gus A. Sayer has said that Smith was not aware that the ninth grader was being bullied until Jan. 7, when he took immediate action leading to the discipline of two students."
http://www.masslive.com/news/index.ssf/2010/04/state_rep_john_scibak_may_ask.html"It is possible both are right. The district attorney may have spoken to people who were not interviewed by the school administration,” Scibak said. Those people may have had recollections after the fact, he added.
Constituents have called him to say they are confused about the sequence of events, Scibak said.
In a related matter, a Prince family spokesman said that the girl’s aunt had warned a high school official before the 15-year-old started school that Prince had been bullied in her native Ireland and, according to the Boston Herald, was susceptible to harassment. Sayer could not be reached for comment
