A heartbroken mum whose daughter took her own life when she was just 13 says she might still be alive today if her cries for help had been taken seriously. Ella Louise Murray told her teachers she "wanted to kill herself", and was subsequently dashed to hospital where she informed a paediatric nurse she would end her life if she went home. The teenager was then referred to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and seen by a mental health nurse who deemed her a "medium risk".
