Hannah Smith sends herself hate messages, then commits suicide claims Ask.fm
A TEENAGE girl who committed suicide after being bullied online sent most of the hateful comments to herself, bosses at the social network site Ask.fm have claimed.
Hannah Smith, 14, from Leicestershire, England killed herself two weeks ago after apparently suffering months of abuse at the hands of online bullies who told her to kill herself, cut herself and "drink bleach”. However, Latvia-based Ask.fm, where the bullying supposedly took place, say that after analyzing the user profiles of the messages sent to Hannah they found 98 per cent of messages had been sent from a computer with the same IP address as Hannah's with only four posts coming from elsewhere.
