A New Jersey community came together Friday to remember 14-year-old Adriana Kuch, a student who tragically died by suicide after being bullied at school. AliBaumanTV spoke with the teen's father, who says he plans to take legal action.
The child's father told CBS2's Ali Bauman he plans to take legal action against school administration."She was a really nice girl," friend Gerald Gibbs said."I was really mad because I know she didn't just do it for no reason. She did it 'cause the people bullied her," friend Lance Jones said.
The 14-year-old girl, a freshman at Central Regional High School in Bayville, died by suicide last week, just two days after a disturbing video was posted on social media. It shows a group of students brutally attacking Adriana in the school hall.If you or someone you know needs help, you can call or text 988 to speak with a trained, caring counselor 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"They asked Adriana not come back to school because her face was so beaten that they didn't want her getting bulled the next day and people making fun of her," Kuch said.Since then, the Ocean County prosecutor's office has charged three girls with third-degree felony assault and another with disorderly conduct."I genuinely think that the problem is Central Regional. It's just the district," friend Amari Lopez said.
"The school gave her no support system, and I feel like if she had that, this wouldn't have happened," Janece said."I'm not gonna stop until everything is changed. I want that whole administration gone. I want the whole school board gone," Kuch said.
