Phoebe Prince’s father seeks apology, not revenge

THE father of Irish-born teenager Phoebe Prince says he doesn’t want revenge against the people who bullied his daughter before she committed suicide. He’s simply seeking an apology.

“I’d dearly like to see admission and contrition so that I could forgive,” Jeremy Prince tells the magazine Slate.com about the nine schoolmates charged in connection with his daughter’s death.

“If they confessed to the court and said they were sorry, I’d appeal to the court for total leniency,” Prince says in his first interview since Phoebe hanged herself after she was allegedly bullied at South Hadley high school in Massachusetts.
