Her father, Mariano Janin, told a previous pre-inquest review hearing in March that she was 'cyber bullied'. Boys had widely known of a Snapchat group about girls at a school attended by a 14 year old teenager who is believed to have killed herself, a pre-inquest review heard. Assistant coroner Tony Murphy, sitting at Barnet Coroner's Court, told on Monday how male pupils at JFS set up the social media group, which was about some of the female pupils.
Rabbi Cohen, former deputy headteacher at the school, told the boys to close down the group after Mia's death and Mr Murphy said it would have been helpful if the group chat had been preserved to see 'what if anything, it contained about Mia'. On March 17, an email was sent to the school about the group chat. Susan Jones, counsel for JFS, said the school has 'always co-operated' in terms of information disclosure. She said there could be multiple social media groups, adding: 'There's nothing that's come to my attention that JFS were aware of any group chat prior to March 17. Gary Lesin-Davis, counsel for Rabbi Cohen, said: 'All the evidence points to the fact that he or the school did not know of the presence of this social media group'. He also added that "How can the school or its employees act on something when it was not known?". Mr Lesin-Davis said there are a number of social media sites included in the material for the inquest, including a group where 'images and videos of girls' were shared.
Last month, the Metropolitan Police apologised after confirming they have lost a sim card from Mia's main phone and a second mobile. The bereaved father of a teenager who killed herself says he is "devastated" the Metropolitan Police has lost significant evidence including a mobile phone. "I couldn't believe it" said Mariano Janin, who thought the items would shed light on the case. Mia became the third JFS pupil within four years to take her own life. 
"They don't care about me or the family" a tearful Mr Janin told the BBC, hours after the admission from Scotland Yard. He added: How could they have done this? I trusted them and co-operated with them. This phone was part of the evidence about what happened to my daughter. I was hoping that answers would have come out and the police told me that this was going to be key. A separate investigation found Mia had sent a voice message to a friend ahead of the first day of term, in which she said she was "mentally preparing herself to get bullied". Her parents had raised bullying concerns with staff at the school prior before her death, and the items were requested by the Metropolitan Police as part of its investigation. "I am still in shock. It is a nightmare. After two years of hell, the police have made my suffering worse, said Mr Janin, who lost his wife only four months after his daughter's suicide. Mia's mother died after developing an aneurysm and contracting leukaemia. "I am alone, that's it" he added. "I am devastated. I feel really bad. This is wrong". Scotland Yard said a search was continuing for the missing items, including a Sim card from Mia's main phone and a second mobile handset. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: Both the Sim card and the handset were examined by specialists and then placed into the property store at Barnet police station with the intention of providing them back to the family at a later date. "Unfortunately, we have been unable to locate these items within the store. We believe this may be due to the relocation of the investigating team to another station, during which time property was also transferred". " We are extremely sorry that these items have not yet been located and have apologised directly to Mia's family for the added distress this has caused".
