Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A teenage girl whose mother gave evidence to the Dunblane inquiry has disappeared from home. Vicky Haggar, 15, wrote to Lord Cullen to say she had been suffering from depression and having nightmares since the primary school massacre in which 16 pupils and their teacher were shot dead by Thomas Hamilton.
In a poem left outside her home in Aberdeen before she vanished on Saturday, Vicky said she was "trapped in a private hell". Doreen Haggar said yesterday that she was "frantic with worry" about her daughter who, she claims, was taking drugs and mixing with a bad crowd. "She seems to have cracked up and she is contemplating suicide, that's what it looks like to me," Mrs Haggar said.
