Aspiring model, 17, was found hanged after struggling with an ‘exploitative relationship’
Tragic Anielka Jennings, who battled depression since having a stroke at the age of 12, was told she was a 'useless piece of sh*t' in texts by with a 39-year-old partner
A tormented aspiring teen model who killed herself was called a "useless piece of sh*t" by her "exploitative" partner, an inquest has heard.
Tragic Anielka Jennings, who had a history of depression, was found hanged on February 5 last year.
An inquest heard how the 17-year-old was in an ''exploitative relationship'' with a 39-year-old man.
Messages to her said: "Waist (sic) of god damn space. Useless piece of sh*t".
Her heartbreaking reply read: "I know I am..."
in an 'exploitative relationship' with a man who called her a "Useless piece of sh*t", an inquyest heard.
Jane Beamish, a registered practitioner who regularly saw Anielka, told the inquest: "She was upset, crying and generally distressed.
"She said she felt confused.
"She had had some difficult relationships and she felt bad about some of those relationships."
Anielka had suffered depression since the age of 12 when she suffered a stroke, which led to her needing a heart transplant four years ago.
She was seen by a range of psychiatrists, education psychologists, neuropsychologists and pastoral carers.
Despite admitting to self-harming and to trying cannabis and mephedrone, she was not deemed a suicide risk or an urgent case.
Her mother Aleksandra had requested two emergency appointments for Anielka in the six months before her death.
Despite desperate calls for help in August and October 2014 the teen was not seen about her mental health until January 16 last year.
She killed herself less than three weeks later.
Her body was discovered by her devastated dad, Michael, on the landing of their home in Tredworth, Gloucester.
She left a suicide note to her parents saying she "wanted to tell them something" but didn't say what.
On the morning of her death she went to Gloucester city centre with her dad who sensed something was wrong, the inquest heard.
She split away from him and caught a bus back home where she was found to have killed herself.
In the days leading up to her death, Anielka "couldn't stop crying", the inquest heard.
But an assessment report concluded Anielka was not mentally unwell and her case was not urgent.
Consultant psychiatrist Dr Rosemary Richards, who was responsible for her overall care, said: "We see a great number of patients and I think what we did was appropriate."
The inquest continues.
