Bullied girl's parents warn of 'huge pressures' of Facebook...

Holly Grogan died after plunging 30ft from a road bridge near her home on to a dual carriageway, where she was hit by passing traffic. She was found at 11pm on Wednesday under a bridge in Churchdown, Gloucestershire, two miles from her home.

Steve Grogan, 45, and his wife Anita, 44, from Longlevens, Gloucester, said they were devastated by the death of their "wonderful" daughter, which followed the posting of dozens of abusive and humiliating messages on her Facebook wall. More...
