The jury at the inquest into the deaths of Fiona Pilkington, 38, and her 18-year-old daughter Francecca Hardwick also claimed on Monday that the police and local council had failed to properly communicate and share information, causing the relevant authorities not to respond to the reported abuse.
The inquest in Loughborough found Francecca had been unlawfully killed by her mother who had suffered years of abuse from local youths.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has now launched an investigation into the case and the police's response to Ms Pilkington pleas for help.
The inquest heard how Ms Pilkington, her daughter and her son, Anthony, 10, had suffered continued abuse at the hands of local teenagers.
Police discovered the bodies of the 38-year-old and her daughter in a burnt out car in a layby near the family's home in Barwell, near Hinckley, Leicestershire late on October 23rd 2007.
It is believed Ms Pilkington poured a ten-litre can of petrol over clothes in the back seat of the vehicle and set them alight.
The jury at the inquest found Ms Pilkington had killed herself and her daughter due to 'stress and anxiety' linked to her daughter's future and the ongoing antisocial behaviour.
It also found that police's failure to act on had an impact on Ms Pilkington's decision to end both their lives.
Leicestershire county council and Bosworth borough council were also criticised for failing to help the family.
Commenting on the inquest's findings, home secretary Alan Johnson said: 'Leicestershire Police and their local authority partners have had some hard lessons to learn about past failures, which will be the subject of further investigations.'
A statement from the IPCC on Monday night recalled how the inquest was informed Ms Pilkington and her neighbours made 33 calls over a seven year period asking for police help after suffering 'repeated and continuing abuse and torment from a gang of youths outside her home'.
IPCC Commissioner Amerdeep Somal added: 'This is an extremely distressing case about which there is understandably a great deal of public concern. It appears to be a case where sustained anti-social behaviour in a neighbourhood over a period of several years has contributed to a truly horrific and tragic outcome.
'It is a primary duty of the police to protect the public. Anyone, in any community, has the right to feel safe in their home and the right to expect that when they report nuisance, abusive or anti-social behaviour it is dealt with seriously by the police. That right extends perhaps even more where a vulnerable family is concerned.'
An independent investigation will now examine what contact there was between Ms Pilkington and the police over a period of time prior to her death, how seriously the police responded to her calls for help, whether the action was appropriate and what actions they did or did not take.
Ms Somal commented: 'The awful deaths of Ms Pilkington and her daughter deserve further answers. We will progress our independent investigation fairly and thoroughly, and as swiftly as possible.'
