In a heartbreaking turn of events, Emely Frantzen, a 12-year-old girl, took her own life earlier this year. Emely’s death has once again shed light on the failures of the education system in preventing bullying and ensuring a safe school environment. Katrine Olsen Gillerdalen, the mother of Odin Olsen Andersgård, who also died by suicide after experiencing bullying, expresses her anger and frustration at the lack of progress in addressing this issue.

Odin’s story, which was widely covered by the media, led to nationwide torchlight processions against bullying and eventually resulted in changes to the Education Act, introducing zero tolerance against bullying. However, despite these legislative changes, Emely’s tragic death shows that the system is still failing to protect vulnerable children.

Emely had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder linked to bullying, according to records from the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Her parents, Monica and Bengt Frantzen, have reported Dysjaland school and Sola municipality for breaching the Education Act, alleging that the school failed to provide a safe and supportive environment for Emely. The case is currently under investigation, and the school and municipality have declined to comment on the allegations.

Both Odin and Emely expressed their belief that speaking up about bullying did not help, as they felt that no one would take action. This sentiment highlights the urgent need for effective measures to address bullying in schools. The Education Act mandates that schools must ensure a safe and good school environment for all students, but Emely’s case raises questions about the implementation and effectiveness of these measures.

Katrine Olsen Gillerdalen, who founded the Odin Foundation after her son’s death, emphasizes the need for all children to be seen, heard, and taken seriously every day. She believes that the Education Act is not working and calls for a more comprehensive approach to tackling bullying. Katrine suggests the implementation of a digital activity plan for all schools, triggered when children or parents report bullying, with ongoing evaluations to ensure the child’s well-being.

Furthermore, Katrine argues that the focus should shift from solely addressing the victims of bullying to also addressing the school environment and the children who engage in bullying behavior. She believes that without effectively addressing the root causes of bullying and removing triggers, children may reach a breaking point where they feel they are a burden to the world.

The tragic deaths of Odin and Emely serve as a stark reminder that more needs to be done to protect children from the devastating effects of bullying. It is crucial for schools, municipalities, and policymakers to work together to create a safe and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported.
