Santa Sabina College faces backlash over removal of memorial for Charlotte O'Brien
Santa Sabina College removed a memorial for Charlotte O'Brien, a 12-year-old who died by suicide after bullying. The school claimed it acted on advice from mental health experts, but Headspace denied giving such advice, calling the school's statement a "flat out lie." Charlotte's family expressed devastation over the removal, stating the school could have done more to address the bullying. They criticized the school's response to their concerns and reported a lack of empathy from the principal during a meeting after Charlotte's death. The principal defended the school's anti-bullying policies, stating many families feel safe at the college. However, Charlotte's family continues to seek accountability and answers regarding the bullying their daughter faced.
