Chloe Davison was found dead at her family home in Lanchester , County Durham , on December 20 aged just 19
Her heartbroken mum, Clair, 44, said her daughter struggled with social anxiety and pinned the blame on social media.
She told the Newcastle Chronicle: “I blame social media a lot for what has happened. The impact it has, especially on younger people, can be devastating. Social media took over Chloe’s life – whether that be Snapchat or Facebook.
“She struggled socially from being at school so she didn’t work. Social media was her way of getting through the day. She didn’t go out a lot.
“Younger people need more help and education on social media.
“There are too many people out there who can say what they like because it’s not face-to-face.”
She added: “Other people did not see what we saw. Chloe was the joker, bubbly and hilarious. She was the life and soul of the party.
“Chloe was beautiful, but she didn’t see that. She cared so much about how people saw her. She would post a picture on social media and want all her family to like it. If it wasn’t good enough she’d remove it.”
Clair, a Post Office worker, said the family didn’t celebrate Christmas and don’t think they will ever again.
She said her “world has been completely shattered”.

I asked why they did that, I was told that I had been sold as a slave. What I’m facing here is not a small thing. I hope I don’t die. If we’re sick, they wouldn’t take us to hospital and they only give us analgesic. Half of the people we came to Lebanon together with have died.
“The person I’m with now wants to rape me, but I didn’t agree. I’m struggling with him. He has collected my phone. He said that he wouldn’t return it until I accept his sexual advances. If he is sleeping or has gone out, I take the phone.
“I told my boss that I wanted to be returned to Nigeria, he replied that he has paid for me; that dead or alive, he owns me. I have a three-year-old baby in Nigeria. Feminique Life Support, please help me, have mercy on me! I want to take care of my daughter. Please don’t let my death make my parents cry.
“The other girl I worked with has travelled so he could come at me again. Please help me, don’t allow them to kill me in this country. I don’t even have a room to sleep. I sleep on the floor, in the parlour, in this cold weather. I’m not even given a cloth to cover; I wear rags. Please help me because as this man tried to rape me, I pushed him away, so I am scared of him dying by my hands because they’ll kill me too.
“My child doesn’t know me and I am suffering too much. The work I came here to do is different from what they are using me for here, and as I speak, I’m even ill and the only drug I had been given was analgesic.”

Japanese billionaire, Yusaku Maezawa has announced that he will be conducting a social experiment by giving out $9 million to 1,000 people on Twitter to see if it improves their happiness.
The online shopping mogul who made the announcement via a YouTube video, described the contest as a “serious social trial” to see what impact a million yen ($9,000) could have on 1000 people’s life.
The billionaire who tied the giveaway to the idea of basic income, or the theory of providing a periodic no-strings-attached payment to all citizens that has gained traction in some political circles and is backed by Democratic U.S. presidential candidate Andrew Yang, urged contestants who are only expected to retweet his January 1 post to use the money “as they like” and to answer regular questionnaires about how they’re using it.
Almost everyone was eligible for the contest which ended on January 7. Over 4 million people participated and it is expected a lottery will determine those who chosen. Maezawa will personally notify them in a direct message within two to three days, while the impact of the money will be tracked through regular surveys.
He also held same contest in January 2019, promising 100 million yen roughly $914,000 to 100 Twitter users. Maezawa who is worth an estimated $2 billion according to Forbes, broke records through the contest as his January 2019 tweet became the most retweeted ever at the time with 4.68 million retweets. Winners of the January 2019 contest ended up with a bit more than $9,000 each.
The Japanese billionaire is said to be the first private passenger to fly around the moon with Elon Musk’s SpaceX. He is also known for his high spending on art, sports cars and his predilection for musing on ideas like a world without money.

Could This Be Accident Or Wickedness?
For demanding that she needed to take a break from her lesson, Erdoo Luper Amu, four years is now battling with life at the Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) Makurdi.

Angered(?) by the request, Mrs. Amo is said to have hit the little girl on her head, as she fall on the tiles floor of her living room. But Erdoo’s forearms and head, her body system from the waist to the hind limbs are not moving.
I’ll furnish you with details of the situation here as soon as am done with investigation.
Controversial singer, Naira Marley who stormed the music scene with several hits songs that kept his name on the lips of many Nigerians, has been recognized and embraced by many for his strong singing abilities but people know little or nothing about his family, most especially his son that looks exactly like him.
The soapy crooner who is married to two women, is blessed with four kids, who are all British citizens staying in the United Kingdom.
There is one of his children who shares a striking resemblance with him, and it is no other than his first son named Farouq Fashola aka Jojo Marlian.
Jojo who recently turned 4, has over 12,000 followers on Instagram. He is a brother to cute identical twin girls Aishat and Simiat.
Two months ago, Naira Marley, took his fans and followers on social media by surprise after sharing some rare photos of his son, on the occasion of his 4th birthday ceremony.
The rapper accompanied the photo post with a touching caption in which he wished his little man Jojo Marlian, a happy birthday celebration, expressing his undying love for the celebrant on his special day.
Big Brother Naija 2017 star, Tboss is still hiding her baby’s face as seen in pictures she shared on her social media page which she took with the baby last Christmas.
She had captioned the photo ;
“Taking pictures with children- Is an Absolute Struggle ? Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. To get just a single nice clear photo you better be ready to take 100 or more pictures. And if you’re wearing make up- Oh well: Better not wear any next time Happy New Year. Welcome to 20/20″.
From hiding and denying that she was pregnant to now keeping the face of the baby away from the public, Tboss feels the world is not ready to see what her baby’s face looks like.
Perhaps, this might be her way of keeping the public from knowing who the child’s father is. Since her face is hidden, no one will be able to investigate a resemblance to any of the rumored fathers.
A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama on Thursday, January 9, convicted and sentenced Runsewe to jail for contempt of court. The judge, Jude Okeke, who gave the order, said Mr Runsewe should be kept in the facility of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Kuje “until he purges himself of contempt.”
The judge described Mr Runsewe’s act as highly contemptuous and ordered that he should be arrested with immediate effect and hand him over to the NCS pending when he retraces his steps. He said this would serve as a deterrent to others who abuse office and disobey court orders with disdain.
Justice Jude Okeke made the order while ruling on a motion drawn from a suit filed by Ummakalif Limited against Minister of the FCT, Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), DG of NCAC, and the Minister for Culture and Tourism, as the first, second, third and fourth defendants respectively.
In the motion, the claimant sought an order of the court committing Runsewe to prison for contempt of court order made on December 15, 2017.
