Carole, whose 17-year-old daughter Ellie was murdered in 2019, said that the non-custodial sentence the 14-year-old was given was misogynistic and sent completely the wrong message. She stressed how societal change was needed, starting with harder-hitting education in schools – continuing up to the age of 18 – about violence against women and girls.

@HollieGazzardT, which teaches groups of young boys in schools about dealing with rejection, was also very disappointed with the sentence.
