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