A TEENAGE schoolgirl whose mother gave evidence to the Dunblane inquiry has disappeared from home.
Vicky Haggar, 15, a pupil of Hazlehead Academy, Aberdeen, wrote to Lord Cullen to say she had been suffering from depression and nightmares since the primary school massacre.
In a poem, left outside her mother's house before she disappeared last Saturday, the girl said she was ``trapped in a private hell''.
Her mother, Doreen, said yesterday she was ``frantic with worry'' about her daughter who, she said, 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,'' said Mrs Haggar.
``I have got my hands on a book of her poetry and the last poem in the book is about depression and how she cannot face living in this world any more. That is what is worrying me.''
She also claimed a friend of Vicky had told her her daughter was scared to face her mother because of a statement she had given to police after the Dunblane shootings.
Mrs Haggar, of Barra Walk, Aberdeen, said yesterday: ``Unknown to me, Vicky was under the influence of drugs when she gave a statement to police from Stirling.
``Her words were all fuzzy and she did not know what she was saying. She just agreed with anything the police said to her.
``I got a message through a friend that she cannot face me because of the slating I got at the inquiry, because they used that statement against me.''
She added: ``I am not against her because of that. If she would just phone home we could speak. We were very close friends really.''
Mrs Haggar claimed that Vicky had given a second statement to officers from Lothian and Borders Police when she was ``lucid''.
In 1988 Vicky accompanied her mother and two other adults to a camp on an island in Loch Lomond which was being run by Thomas Hamilton and attended by her brother Andrew.
The reason for attending the camp, according to Mrs Haggar, was to keep an eye on Hamilton's activities and to stop him abusing the children.
After the shootings, Mrs Haggar produced photographs of Hamilton at the camp and claimed she had discovered he had forced the boys to rub suntan oil on to his naked body.
She told the inquiry that, after she complained to police about Hamilton, he had pointed a gun at her in the streets of Linlithgow.
During her testimony to the inquiry, Mrs Haggar claimed she had reported the incident to police and criticised them for not following up the matter.
Mrs Haggar said yesterday she had hardly seen her daughter since she had given evidence and that she had been staying with friends until she disappeared at the weekend.
``She feels that the police gave her a bad time and she feels that she has let me down. I just want to tell her that is not true,'' she added.
On June 4 Vicky wrote a letter to Lord Cullen, who is presiding over the Dunblane inquiry.
It read: ``Eight and a half years ago I, my brother, and many other children spoke out about a very evil person. It would seem, as children, our word was not enough for our peers.
``He struck fear and terror into us, so much so I had nightmares about this camp and Hamilton for months after.
``Then when he murdered these children the nightmares came back and I'm too distressed about those children. I could not and did not want to believe it was the same man.''
Grampian Police confirmed last night that Vicki had telephoned her mother several times yesterday but had not yet been located.
