Inquest Continues into Suicide of UK Teen Mia Janin Amidst Allegations of School Bullying
Classmates and father accuse school of inaction against bullies who allegedly shared fake nude photos of the 14-year-old and other girls.
- Mia Janin, a 14-year-old student at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton, North London, committed suicide after being bullied online and in person by a group of boys at her school.
- The boys allegedly shared fake nude photos of Mia and other girls, photoshopping their faces onto the bodies of adult film actors, and shared them on a Snapchat group chat.
- Mia's father, Mariano Janin, believes she was cyberbullied by other students at JFS, and her friends and classmates blame the school for not taking action against the boys.
- However, the school denies being aware of the bullying and the difficulties it was causing Mia. Alistair Davey, Mia's form teacher, told the inquest he was unaware of any bullying of Mia including through social media.
- The inquest into Mia's death continues, with students testifying that the bullying was so evident that teachers and staff must have known about it.
