Of course it depends on how long the step-dad has known the mother and daughter.....if over 5 years he may be closely attached to the girl.

So....Committed suicide ?  - over an argument ?

The chances of the holiday being the barrel of laughs he claimed it to be judged by the picture of her they circulated - unlikely.

The chances of storming out and being hit by a car - reasonable. The chances of storming out and just happening to bump into a passing paedo - you'd surely have to be very, very unlucky. Maybe she was but still unlikely.

The chances of a young girl storming out without her phone - unlikely.

The chances of storming out in a town of over 100,000 people and disappearing entirely without trace with no sightings - certainly seems strange.

Are you going to be more surprised to find out it was a stranger, or more surprised to find out it wasn't?

Crikey. If no suspicious circumstances though, do you really think a girl would commit suicide over being asked to clean out a food bag? There is plenty more to come on this.

Indeed. If it is suicide, how does a 13 year old girl find the means to kill herself on a whim in a big town and it go unnoticed for 3 days?

Mr Peat said: "We had just all had a brilliant holiday. It's just not right.

"We told her to clean a cool box out that we had had sandwiches in for the journey home.

"It was a chore, basically, and I'm sure all teenagers are the same, she didn't want to do a chore. That was the last conversation."

For the police to say the death is not suspicious, they must have clear evidence that she wasn't killed.

Whatever has happened it's just a deeply upsetting, depressing episode. How can a young girl like that take her own life if that is the case? I just cannot get my head around it.

Bridgend suicide incidents
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bridgend suicide incidents are a set of suicides involving young people in Bridgend County Borough in South Wales. Reports speculated that a "cult suicide" was to blame.[1] As of February 2012, there have been seventy-nine known deaths since January 2007,[2] though police have found no evidence to link the cases together. Of 25 people who killed themselves between January 2007 and February 2009, all but one died from hanging.[3]

The parents of one of the dead accused the media of "glamorising ways of taking one's life to young people".[4] Madeleine Moon, Member of Parliament for Bridgend said that the media were "now part of the problem".[5] The mother of one of the deceased added: "We have lost our son and the media reporting of this has made it more unbearable".[5]

Many of the suicide victims were teenagers between the ages of 13 to 17.

In the years between 1996 and 2006, an average of three men committed suicide in Bridgend every year. In 2007, the total was believed to be at least nine.[6]

On 12 January 2010 it was reported that another two people had committed suicide in the town.[7]

An article in People magazine reported that by February 2012 seventy-nine people had committed suicide by hanging. Most of the victims are young adults, but the age range is 13 to 41 years of age. In 2010 police asked the media to stop covering the suicides in an attempt to prevent copy-cats. Bridgend is a former market town of around 39,000 people; however, the suicides stretched over the whole county borough of Bridgend, which has a population of over 100,000.[8]

A 2013 documentary[9] and a 2015 drama film[10] starring Hannah Murray have been made about these incidents, both called Bridgend.

There are some astonishing posts on here. Won't you ever learn to stop this stupid 'she looks threatened' or 'it's always the step-father' or 'the mother looks like she knows something' and 'he takes steroids...maybe he hit her' or he fancied her in her swimsuit'.
You're bloody sick! Stick to what is known, which is very little. Further details will probably be forthcoming, but nobody knows what has occurred yet. SadSad

Agree Naydam .. as a father of a 13 year old girl i do worry a lot .. they are very naieve yet also demanding of a bit of independance .. i am wanting her to get to age of independance rather than being a child who thinks she can do her own thing.

It's called malicious gossip and serves no useful purpose. In certain cases it can be extremely prejudicial and dangerous!
