In Australia, femicides are often mistaken for suicide and misadventure - her death is one of these. She had barely started living her life when she was found hanging from a tree in a park. Her name is Eden Jayde Westbrook. She was only 15.
Eden's mum Amanda, dad Jason and siblings Bobby-Lee, Dontay and Sky talk about the long and arduous fight to have the findings into Eden's death overturned. The episodes discusses child sexual abuse, mental health concerns, suicide, bullying and murder. It is not safe for children.
This is Eden's story.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
