In a statement read to the hearing by their barrister Anna Morris KC, Emily’s parents David and Susan said she was a “bright, beautiful girl” with her whole life ahead of her.<\/p>\n
She “loved animals, especially elephants, and enjoyed ballet, gymnastics and swimming as well as shopping trips with her family”, the inquest heard.<\/p>\n
The statement said that Emily was a “very happy child” but that she developed mental health issues as a teenager which made her feel “worthless”.<\/p>\n
This had come as a “great shock” to the family, the statement said.<\/p>\n
Emily’s parents said they would get “glimpses” of a future after her illness in which she said she wanted to become a mental health professional or paramedic but she was “never able to recover from her illness.”<\/p>\n
Her move to adult services was “deeply distressing” for her and she was dead within a week of it happening, Emily’s parents said.<\/p>\n
They were left living with “profound sorrow and frustration about what she endured”.<\/p>\n
Her parents said they had only had their daughter for “the shortest time” but that she had made them proud.<\/p>\n
“She is now the brightest star in the sky,” they said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a statement read to the hearing by their barrister Anna Morris KC, Emily’s parents David and Susan…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505441,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[163,85,46,522,523],"class_list":["post-505440","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mental-health","tag-health","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-mental-health","tag-mentalhealth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505440","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505440"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505440\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505440"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505440"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505440"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
