CTV Saskatoon first learned of a claim of bullying in Watrous when a young woman posted a note on our Facebook page.
The woman says a startling letter was left in a family member’s locker at Winston High School. The Facebook post says that in letter tells the young student to kill herself, and then lists ways the student could do it – even suggesting she hang herself in the school gym so everyone in school “could have a good show.”
Winston High School and the Horizon School Division have anti bullying policies in place and are putting those in to action.
Crandall Hrynkiw is the acting director of education with the school division. “It happens at every school and if they say it doesn't they are kidding themselves. It does happen and we just want to make sure our students are safe that's why we have policy in place and that's why administrators are trained to follow through on these things.”
This Saskatchewan incident of course comes on the heels of a suicide in British Columbia, where a teenager posted a YouTube video in which she was being bullied. She then committed suicide.
In Watrous the RCMP are now involved with a police investigation.
