It is not clear at this stage where and by whom Ms Keenan, 49, believes the bullying took place.

Yesterday, Ms Keenan, updated her Twitter page with a picture of Ayden and his name, date of birth and death.

Stunned pupils at the Philip Morant School, Colchester, were told of the death in the afternoon and have been offered counselling.
