Kibi’s Memory
Report Bullying And Cyberbullying
Bullying in any shape or form is NOT ACCEPTABLE. Click Here To Tell Us Your Story
Kibi Wade (Barrett) was a beautiful young 16 year old with so much to live for when her life tragically ended on 24th July 2024.
She was found by her elder sister, mum and stepmother hanging from the banister of the family home. Despite attempts to resuscitate her, sadly she had passed away.
Her last message to her girlfriend was that she “couldn’t handle it anymore”. “It” referred to the bullying and cyber bullying she was getting from her peers.
Those that bullied her should be punished for their “crimes”, those that failed her (school, NHS, local mental health services) should be brought to task and the Government should pass laws to make sure that bullying and cyber bullying by teenagers is made a criminal offence with severe punishment.
We hope that by campaigning for “Kibi’s Memory” that no child should suffer the way Kibi has and that no family should ever have to go through the indescribable trauma we are facing right now.
