I think that She had to make it look like I could live without her. I can't. I wish I could have taken the pain away from her! She never recovered from what those guys did to her and it's just not fair. My baby girl left. "

Melinda continued publishing articles and videos of her daughter where she talks about the attacks she suffered in her hometown after she raised her voice against her attacker.

"My girl, my Belle couldn't take it anymore. She said she loved me and just hoped it would make me feel proud. You made me feel proud every day of your life, Belle. Every day! I love you so much!" the woman wrote in another post.

In 2013 the sexual abuse case against Daisy Coleman was reopened and in January 2014 Barnett pleaded guilty to endangering a minor, due to the way he left her abandoned. in the end he was only sentenced to two years in prison.

In 2016 Daisy told her story in the Netflix documentary, where what happened to Audrie Pott , a teenager who was also a victim of rape , also appears . Pott committed suicide 10 days after the attack.

In 2017 Daisy worked on a national campaign called SafeBAE, which tries to prevent other people from experiencing sexual violence.

After learning of Coleman's suicide, the organization wrote on Facebook, "As all of our supporters know, Daisy struggled for many years to heal from her attack and prevent teen sexual violence. She was our sister in this job and much of the force driver behind him. "

"We are devastated and shocked by his suicide. He had been in therapy for 2 years, working on his triggers and healing the many traumas in his life. He had many demons and had faced and overcome them all, but as many of you know, the Healing is not a direct or easy path. She fought harder and harder than we will ever know, "the organization concluded.
