Amanda Todd was a 15-year-old Canadian student who took her own life after enduring years of cyberbullying. She was blackmailed online by a stranger who had convinced her to expose herself on a webcam, and the video was later circulated. Todd moved schools twice to escape bullying but continued to be harassed online. She made a video telling her story without words through flashcards before committing suicide in 2012. Her death sparked widespread outrage over cyberbullying and its tragic consequences.

4. SUICIDE
http://p4.focus.de/img/gen/B/G/HBBGz1fd_Pxgen_r_300xA.jpg
On 7th September, Amanda Todd released a video, in which she referred
to these handwritten flashcards. First she had visited video chats to meet
some new people. A complete stranger had persuaded her to bare the
upper part of her body. Her counterpart recorded a video and later, he
began to blackmail her. He claimed more acts by Amanda and
threatened to release the video. Later, the police informed Amanda, that
her video circulated in cyberspace. Due to the social problems, Amanda
and her family moved to another city. About one year later, a fake
Facebook profile was constructed, which showed the manufactured
photo. Besides, her classmates were invited to view this profile. As a
consequence, Amanda changed the school a second time. There she
was attacked, insulted , sworn at, beaten up, made responsible herself
by girls with their boyfriends. After all these horrible experiences, Amanda
made a first suicide attempt. Due to timely medical measure, she
survived. When Amanda was dismissed from hospital, the family moved
to another city, again. But the bullying in the social networks went on.
Amanda´s mental condition declined each along, in spite the revenue
from antidepressants. She became addicted to a self-harming behaviour.
On 10th October 2012 she committed suicide.

5. REACTION BY
ANONYMOUS
After Amanda Todd had died the hacker group
Anonymous announced that they had to find the
blackmailer and then, they published the
name, address and a photo of a man from British
Columbia. After the high attention aroused by media
this man was insulted, harassed and ,threatened to
death by online-users. In an interview with CBC
news, the man admitted that he had chattetd with
Todd, but he denied all involvement. The Canadian
Police were warning about too fast conclusions and
suspicions. A few days later, it was found out that
the one indicated by Anonymous was not the
blackmailer and also the address which had been
published had no connection to the case.

6. After Amanda´s death, the police and Canadian agents had arranged an e-mail
address. People could sent the police all information about the case to this address,
e.g. about the reason, why Amada had committed suicide and why the photo was
released. Within 24 hours 400 mails with details were sent.

7. In 2012 the Canadian songwriter Elise Estrada released the single Wonder Woman which
was dedicated to Amanda Todd. Two versions of a music video were also filmed. One of
these versions used the stylistic means of handwritten notes on which you can see the
song lyrics. The other version comprised not only the music but also short video clips and
photos of Amanda Todd as well as photos of persons from all over the world who held a
flashard that says "Just Like Wonder Woman" towards the camera.

8. There is much excitement and outrage in social networks since
Amanda Todd committed suicide after years of being the victim of
fatal cyber bullying. Police are highly motivated and eager to find
the man who had widely spread nude pictures of Amanda on the
internet, an action which had ultimately led to the teenager´s
suicide. The case has clearly shown the fact that in times of
Facebook, Twitter and the Internet one person can make
someone else´s life a real hell. Amanda Todd's suicide quickly
gained world-wide media attention, particularly through the
sharing and dissemination of Amanda´s videos. Within a week of
publication, it was viewed 1.6 million times. On 19 October 2012
commemorations in memory of Amanda Todd were held, there
were also minutes of silence at many locations, especially in
schools. In various speeches personalities such as Magic
Johnson, Demi Lovato and the Premier of British Columbia,
Christy Clark, reminded of this tragic incident.
