Amanda Todd香蕉视频直播檚 mother considers it a victory that her daughter香蕉视频直播檚 name can now be used in media coverage of her accused tormentor香蕉视频直播檚 trial.

There is an automatic ban placed on the names of victims in cases involving child pornography, but it was lifted by a judge on Monday.

Amanda was just 15 in 2012, when she took her own life after online harassment. Before her death, she posted a YouTube video relating her torment from online bullying through a series of handwritten signs. The video has been viewed millions of times. A Youtube search using 香蕉视频直播楢manda Todd香蕉视频直播� yields videos about bullying and tributes that have millions more viewers.

Todd, who lived in Port Coquitlam at the time of her death, attended school in Maple Ridge.
