"Despite this, it contributed to their discomfort, insisted the SiS home". Start the clip to see Anita Herbert talk about the criticism of the SiS home.
Despite the sadness over her daughter's death, Anita Herbert wants to tell the story, to help others and to express her strong views on several shortcomings in society.
- You feel so desperate and angry when something like this happens, she says.
"The meaning of my life has disappeared"
Jenny was taken into care because she had a mental illness and a drug addiction.
She was supposed to receive care and treatment but took her own life after only a few weeks at home.
- It feels like the meaning of my life has disappeared.
Everything that I had thought that life would continue with - it has just been cut off, says Jenny's mother Anita Herbert.
The mother is critical
Anita Herbert is critical of the fact that the home allowed her daughter to use the internet and that there were loose objects that made a suicide possible.
- That in a home with traumatized and suicidal children there are objects that you can use to take your own life, that is completely incomprehensible to me.
Since Jenny's death, the home has taken several measures to prevent something like this from happening again.
Among other things, they have carried out an inspection of the premises to see that there are no loose objects.
The accommodation has also started a discussion with Sis' lawyers to be able to strengthen the staff's powers to limit internet access for the young people who need it.
