Rehtaeh Parsons Suicide: Web Calls On Anonymous To Act After Nova Scotia Teen's Death http://t.co/U23Xt0Plsz #OpJustice4Rehtaeh — Anonymous (@YourAnonNews) April 10, 2013

RCMP in Nova Scotia told the National Post Tuesday that all four boys involved in their investigation are still minors and police are “concerned” about reprisals.

Landry has asked senior government officials to give him options for a review of the Parsons case.

“It’s important that Nova Scotians have faith in the justice system and I am committed to exploring the mechanisms that exist to review the actions of all relevant authorities to ensure the system is always working to the best of its ability, in pursuit of justice,” Landry said in a 10 p.m. statement.

The justice minister expects the options to be presented to him this week.

The Chronicle Herald reported that Landry met with Leah Parsons Wednesday morning to discuss the case but did not indicate what was said between the pair.

“The big issue here is the fact that I heard, I listened,” Landry told the Halifax newspaper after the meeting. “I heard the public. I heard from them and that no matter how you play this, this is a tragedy. It’s a terrible tragedy, loss of a young girl and my heart goes out to the family.”

A Change.org petition started by a family friend calling for an independent review of the Parsons case was signed by more than 11,000 people in less than 24 hours.

Police investigated the alleged sexual assault, which took place at a party in Cole Harbour where teenagers were drinking heavily, and in consultation with the Crown, decided there was “insufficient evidence” to lay charges.
