Phoebe’s mother: My pain is unbearable

THE mother of bullied schoolgirl Phoebe Prince yesterday described her continuing unbearable pain as three of her daughter’s tormentors pleaded guilty to harassing the teenager in the weeks before her death.

Flannery Mullins, 18, Sharon Valazquez, 17, and Ashley Longe, 18, were all given probation by a court in Massachusetts after a deal was struck between prosecutors, the defence and Phoebe’s family.

It follows guilty pleas on Wednesday by two other defendants in the case, Sean Mulveyhill, and Kayla Narey, who were also given probation after pleading guilty to criminal harassment.
