CAPE TOWN – A close-knit family from Summer Downs is struggling to come to terms with the suicide of their teen-
age daughter, Tilly. Tilly Shaw, who was just 16, apparently took her own life on Saturday because she could no longer
endure the barrage of taunts she was receiving on social media about her disability. Tilly had developmental dysplasia
of the hips, which caused her to walk with a limp.
Daniella Shaw, Tilly’s mother, told The Daily Tattler, that although the family is still shocked by their daughter’s death,
they are ready to talk about the effects bullying can have on victims and their families, as they desperately want to pre-
vent other people from having to endure the same heartache as they are having to do.
“If only people could ‘see’ pain, they would think twice about participating in the type of behaviour that led to our
Tilly’s death,” Daniella said.
Describing social media as a powerful yet destructive tool if used heartlessly, Daniella said she and her husband Grant
had decided to use it for good purposes. A Facebook page has been established in Tilly’s name to encourage youngsters
to talk freely about the topic of bullying.
Learners and family members today held a memorial service at the high school Tilly attended, to pay their respects to
their fellow learner who is remembered as a “quiet yet assertive personality” and as someone who “participated enthu-
siastically” in all aspects of school life.
Mourners left notes and bouquets of owers at a special memorial erected in Tilly’s honour. The memorial includes a
large photograph of a happy smiling child who seemed to have the world at her feet.
Psychologists say bullying, and cyberbullying, in particular, is a serious concern. A recent study revealed that about
two-thirds of all learners have experienced bullying in one form or another.
