Stopping people from killing themselves when they want to die is very hard.
I think in this case it was proven it would have been pretty easy to stop her from dying, since they could plainly see her dying there, and no one did anything.
I think the scope of your answer is a little shallow, the standard cop out of "o well it's so hard what they do."
Here's a different question, how do you feel about the order prohibiting the prison staff from entering her cell during her ordeal?
As a side note, the fact that your facility had two girls kill themselves in 2010 is a disgusting indictment of the issues surrounding the youth justice system.

I get it, it's a tough a job, with a strong emotional toll.
You know what though? That isn't a good enough answer for me when the death of a child is involved.
Salicylic asked you what your thoughts were on the Ashley Smith incident, and you gave him the, yes, standard "cop-out" misguided argument your hear so many people use in this sort of situation.
A cop shoots a mentally disabled teenager on a Toronto bus? "oh well you don't understand how hard it is to be a cop." Literally a LITTLE GIRL kills herself in front of prison staff who do nothing? "oh well their job so hard you shouldn't judge you should go talk to your MP"
That argument just doesn't cut it for me anymore.
Talk with your elected representative and tell them you want better for these kids.
I have a really hard time believing it was an elected policy maker who told prison staff not to go check on a girl with a noose around her kneck.
edit: I should point out i'm not trying to grill you for something you have nothing to do with at all. I just feel like the idea that we can dismiss some of the atrocities that go one as "their job is hard" is so wrong.

All the non-canadians just went "wut."
