A year before teenager Adriana Kuch died by suicide after being bullied, another student in the same New Jersey high school reported a similar incident.
"They want to further bully and shame the victim, so they have their cellphones at the ready," said Ettman, who believed this client's case would be a tipping point that would force change.in the hallway of the same New Jersey high school. Other students recorded it on their cellphones and uploaded it on social media, where it went viral.
Adriana's father, Michael Kuch, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that his daughter showed him videos of people taunting her and threatening her on TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.The MO in Kuch's case was the same MO followed in the January 2022 incident, according to the lawsuit and interview with Ettman. The victim in the January 2022 incident, who isn't named because of her age, was threatened and harassed online for months by students that she didn't know, Ettman said.
The pervasive bullying in schools isn't limited to the Central Regional School District, Ettman said. These behaviors have seeped down into the elementary schools and involving children as young as 8 and 10 years old, who have fake TikTok accounts for this reason. "We handle cases through the state of New Jersey. We see it everywhere. It's running rampant," Ettman said."Same type of bullying with kids plotting with their friends at the ready with their cellphones and then they assault the victim and they film it and they post it. That's the pattern.
