Call for bullying protection in Constitution

THE father of tragic teenager Phoebe Prince who took her life after being bullied in a US school said he wants to see a change to the Irish Constitution to protect other children and parents.

Jeremy Prince said he wanted Phoebe, who was just 15 when she died, to be forgotten by the media so that her sister, who has returned to live in Co Clare, can enjoy a normal life.

A fitting tribute to his eldest daughter, he said, would be to see every child in Ireland given the right to be educated free from bullying, under the constitution.
