Sonya Ryan's story so sad -

Also among nominees for Australian of the Year was indigenous advocate Dr Tom Calma, Melanoma researcher Professor Adele Green and Sonya Ryan, who has dedicated herself to the promotion of internet safety through schools after her daughter Carly was befriended by an internet predator who posed as a teenage boy and killed her when they met.
