Girl, 10, found dead by sister, 6, after bullying
A ten-year-old girl who suicided in her New South Wales south coast home was found by her little sister in yet another tragic death related to school bullying. Emergency crews rushed to the home on July 9 after the six-year-old girl told her mum she thought her sister was dead in her bedroom. The mum frantically tried to open the bedroom door but struggled because of the weight of her daughter's lifeless body on the other side. When she finally got the door open she found her daughter unconscious. The family tried to revive the little girl with CPR while they waited for emergency services. She was flown to Sydney Children's Hospital. Paramedics were able to regain her heart rate however the girl remained unresponsive. She died two days later. Police at the scene were told by her family that the little girl had recently been bullied at school. The news of another child dying has devastated Kelly O'Brien who lost her 12-year-old daughter and 'best friend' Charlotte last year. 'Hearing another angel has entered heaven truly breaks my heart,' she told 'They are babies. We all think how can this happen? They are too young, well it's happening over and over again.' Kelly said there was now 'no age' where children are not at risk, as long as they are old enough to use the internet. 'The fact that children feel so down trodden that they don't want to be here is hard enough but the fact they are a Google search away from finding a permanent solution to a temporary problem makes me sick.' Kelly said she had 'no idea where exactly' Charlotte found her information but knows she 'didn't head to the local library and ask for a book on how to end her own life'. 'There is an epidemic of youth suicide right now and to be apart of the statistics is an existence of excruciating pain. 'There are nine suicides a day in Australia. Charlotte passed away on the 9th of the 9th we believe just after 9pm. She was passed away for nine hours before I found her in the morning. If that is not a sign we need to bring these numbers down I don't know what is.' 'I miss Charlotte. I grieve for Charlotte. I love Charlotte. I will spend the rest of my life trying to safe guard others in her name.' Police investigations into the death of the 10-year-old girl are continuing. Kelly is one of hundreds of parents, students and teachers across Australia who has made submission to the Federal Government's Anti-Bullying Rapid Review. The plan is to develop a national approach to addressing bullying in Australian schools. The final report of the Review will be presented to all Australian education ministers in coming months. Sydney mum Jodie Carter, who lost her 12-year-old son Hamish to suicide, has also made a submission to the inquiry as has Sydney actor Clare McCann whose son Atreyu earlier this year.

Teenager in stable condition after losing arm in jet ski incident on Sydney river
The classmates of a 15-year-old boy killed in a jet ski collision have gathered at the crash site in Sydney's south to pay tribute after the incident on Tuesday. The boy died and his 14-year-old friend was taken to hospital with a severed arm after their jet ski hit an "obstacle" near Tom Uglys Bridge in Sylvania about 6pm, police said. The younger boy was in a critical condition on Tuesday, but is now stable, according to Sydney Children's Hospital. Sutherland Shire Police Area Command Inspector Tim Carter said the pair were riding on the same jet ski at the time of the collision. "Police were able to quickly enter the water with the help of NSW Ambulance and remove [the 14-year-old] boy to safety, where he received further treatment on the boat ramp," he said. Inspector Carter said a further search identified the 15-year-old as dead at the scene, where he was removed from the water but unable to be revived. "At this stage, it would appear the jet ski has collided with an object or obstacle in the water, which has thrown these two boys from the jet ski," he said. The area around the bridge is heavily trafficked by boats and marine barges. Fred Nagi, a family friend of the injured 14-year-old, told ABC News he was a "beautiful boy" and experienced jet skier. Mr Nagi arrived at the scene shortly after the crash last night. He said there were major safety issues near the bridge that needed to be addressed. "When the sun is setting, it gets dark [under the bridge] — it's like a blind spot," he said. "All the barges have no lights on them." Police divers remain at the scene and spent Wednesday morning scouring the river near a marine barge.

So nice she wore it twice! Dina Broadhurst risks ANOTHER wardrobe malfunction as she slips into racy gown that shocked crowd at Justin Hemmes' charity gala
Dina Broadhurst risked a major wardrobe malfunction when she stepped out in an extremely risqué gown at the prestigious Silver Party in Sydney. The annual charity, which is hosted by the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation, was once again held at Justin Hemmes' multimillion-dollar Vaucluse mansion. The 'nude artist', 48, wore a very revealing metallic Michael Lo Sordo gown to the event last month, featuring a deep plunging neckline that draped below her naval. Not content with the event photography, or perhaps the level of commotion the dress garnered, Dina gave it a second showing on Instagram this week. 'Another moment for this dress,' she captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes selfies and short videos posted on Monday. In one clip, Broadhurst saunters towards a floor length mirror as if in slow motion. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Dina gave the daring ensemble a second showing on Instagram this week, as she encouraged her 364,000 Instagram followers to take a 'moment' to appreciate the look on Monday The satin frock features a halter neckline which leaves little to the imagination. Likely held in place with fashion tape, Dina appeared unconcerned with the fragility of her backless - and nearly frontless - ensemble as she took several sultry photos for her online following. In May, Dina invited the prominent Australian fashion designer to her lavish eastern suburbs abode prior to the event. In one photo, she pursed her lips for her iPhone camera while Lo Sordo made last minute adjustments to the halter neck. The socialite also cuddled up to fashion designer at the event. Dina, who usually shows off her natural complexion, opted for a full face of glamorous makeup at the charity event. The brunette let the shock dress do all the talking as she kept her accessories to a minimum, only popping on a pair of hoop earrings. The gown, which may well have been a custom creation, does not appear to be for sale on Michael Lo Sordo's website 'Another moment for this dress,' she captioned a carousel of behind-the-scenes selfies The Silver Party is one of Sydney's most prestigious charity galas, and was this year attended by some 300 influential figures from business, media, and entertainment. Since its inception in 2001, the Silver Party has raised over $10million in support of the state's most critically ill children. The money raised funds for vital equipment, research, and life-saving treatments across the Sydney Children's Hospitals Network. After spending the evening with some of the city's most prestigious people, Dina went on to enjoy Sunday morning with her son Leo for Mother's Day. She sat down for brunch with the 19-year-old, who she shared with musician ex-husband Nick Broadhurst, as they visited a local café. Dina's romantic life has come into question of late after she went on date with her millionaire fridge heir ex John Winning Jr following a fling with Belgian model Kengi Meert. The high-society beauty has been romantically linked to some of Sydney's richest and most powerful men, but Dina does not like to be tied down these days. Most recently, she was once again spotted cosying up to her ex John Jr., 35, known to his friends as Herman. The pair were spotted on a double date in Coogee with cricketer Michael Clarke and his girlfriend Arabella Sherborne, the exclusive details of which were revealed by Mail+. Their shock outing came after Dina was also romantically tied to her boy toy Kengi - a former Love Island star who is, at 23, less than half her age. The pair secretly linked up in Paris, with Dina doing her best to keep him hidden from the public eye. But after Daily Mail Australia revealed their secret tryst, she began sharing steamy images online from their five-star Parisian love nest. However, upon her return to Australia, Dina sought comfort in the arms of ex-boyfriend John Jr. once again, sparking speculation about whether or not they are back together.
