A fatal accident inquiry heard how Robyn, 13, told her mum Sharon Goldie she had been raped but the 49-year-old talked her down from going to police and doctors.
A woman who went to the pub as her dying daughter watched TV's Tipping Point had to be forced to report claims she had been raped, an inquiry heard.
Social worker Brian McNott, 39, told the inquiry: "Robyn had made an allegation of rape and Sharon's response to that I found to be really concerning. I felt it was a really underwhelming response to something that her daughter had said she had gone through and she spoke Robyn down from seeking police intervention.
He said: "Robyn and Sharon had significant challenges living together and there were a number of police concerns about them. We felt we had a handle on that but although it was challenging for all involved, there was a significant turning point at the way the rape allegation was handled by Sharon. Family support worker Victoria Logan, 36, told the inquiry she advised Goldie to get Robyn examined after the rape allegation.
