Simone's mother claimed bullying pushed her daughter into a "dark place".
Grice said: "She was vulnerable because of the bullying in the neighbourhood. And it was severe bullying. It is physically and mentally draining to be bullied by a whole neighbourhood. It wasn't a short space of time when this was happening; we even rang the police."
A statement Simone's father, David Grice, gave to police, which was read to the inquest, said youths would regularly visit their home and shout abuse.
"She said she was being picked on and bullied at school. We had lots of trouble with local children knocking on the door. They called us freaks and threatened to beat us up. She was disturbed by the children."
