The father of a 14-year-old girl who committed herself last week, days after being bullied at school, claims that his daughter may still be alive if the district had taken action earlier.
“She cherished life. She was the most content child. Everyone adores her “On Thursday, Michael Kuch stated.
Kuch is devastated. He said that Adriana, his daughter, committed suicide after a frightening video of her being attacked by several classmates as she walked with her boyfriend down a hallway at Central Regional High School in the Bayville neighborhood of Berkeley Township was shared on social media.
“After they jumped her, they simply kept going. They would continue to email her videos. They would then grab screen pictures of the videos because they were constantly being removed, and they would then leave derogatory remarks on them “said Kuch.
The superintendent of schools, Dr. Triantafillos Parlapanides, told CBS2 that “four kids were suspended on the day of the incident.” “We always confront every case of bullying,” he added.
According to Kuch, the students who allegedly caused his daughter’s troubles battered her face with a 20-ounce bottle should have promptly called the authorities.
He added that his daughter should have been sent to the hospital since she had bruises all over her body.
“The institution misled me. I was not informed that she had been attacked with a weapon. They omitted telling me that she passed out. Despite having an officer at the school, they decided not to notify the police. They informed me it wasn’t how they operated, “said Kuch.
The school should do more to curb bullying, a freshman and her mother said CBS2.
People should not be afraid to attend school, however that is the case right now, according to Rachel Lingea.
“It keeps going. Bullying is awful, Adriana, and she ought to be here right now “Christine Lingea, the mother, remarked.
Kuch is irate despite school officials’ claims that they informed Adriana’s family and called her terrible death disgusting.
He said that the girls would not have released footage from school if they had called the police and opened an investigation.
Wednesday, students at the school participated in a walkout in support of Adriana’s family.
Three females have been accused of third-degree criminal assault, while another has been accused of disorderly behavior.
The wake for Adriana will take place at Mastapeter Memorial Home in Bayville on Friday from 5 to 6 o’clock.
