Girl commits suicide after dad publicly shamed her in YouTube video


A 13-year-old girl took her own life after her dad publicly shamed in her in a YouTube video.

Izabel Laxamana jumped from a bridge on May 29, just days after her dad Jeff cut off her hair and posted a video of the punishment online.
She was taken to a hospital, where she died on Saturday.During the video posted by her father, a male voice can be heard saying:
 “The consequences of getting messed up, man, you lost all that beautiful hair.“Was it worth it?”
She replies "no" before he asks: “How many times did I warn you?”

She girl quietly replies: “A lot.”

It is still not clear why Izabel was in trouble with her father.

The News Tribune quotes reports on social media that the schoolgirl was upset after being banned from running for a position on the student body.

A statement said the girl did not have parental permission to participate as a candidate, and rumour-mongering was hurting efforts of students and staff to deal with the trauma of Izabel's death.

Facebook page called Justice for Izabel has attracted nearly 10,000 likes, as members call for the father to be criminally prosecuted.
