NJ dad demands justice after 14-year-old daughter’s suicide
This is happens everywhere !!! Action needs to be immediately and stop letting this go!
Not everywhere. I can assure you that there are places in this world where bullying is taken very seriously, so much so that kids have been expelled or at least suspended for much less than what these kids did to that poor girl.
no not everywhere only where blacks and hispanics are the majority.
Young people are taught that violence never shelves anything. We all can use positive violence as a means of self protection. Don’t just lay on the floor and roll into a ball because that will invite catastrophic injury. Stand on your feet, use weapons available and react with positive self defense. Daughters especially need to take self-defense classes because if they don’t defend themselves, nobody else will.
@T. R. Campbell 4 aniamls vs 1 human you roll in to a ball and protect your eyes and ears from there teeth
THAT 14 YEAR OLD AMERICAN KID THAT DROPPED DEAD FROM SUICIDE THAT HER LIFE AS A COMPLETE JOKE JUST LIKE 911 2001
Bless her soul, i hope justice is served and I pray the family finds peace
parents are to blame for raising their daughter to be LGBt Slava Ukraine followers. Suicide is the direct route to hell. This girl just showed the weak spirit of Americans. Of course I hope that the almighty God forgives this girl, but if you only stuff your daughter with mainstream and Tik Tok, you don’t have to be surprised about something like that. Minors who commit suicide simply have no respect and love for their parents.

@Skylar Morehead you are a russian troll huh ?
@Mein Sohn hat nicht Kriminell something wrong in the bot farm ?

The kids who bullied her each deserve 10-15 years.
The bullies need counseling. Their PARENTS deserve jail time for raising little monsters.
No, they deserve 25 to life… .I guarantee you they told her to kill herself. She took her life, it is only fair they loose theirs. They want to be bad asses, let them rot in prison for 25 years
@OnomatoPrinting the bullies need to be run through the system, they need records and they need to see there are consequences. But yeah, they can get concealing in prison.
@T. Nelson Yeah, because that works. There is no counseling in prisons. Most of them are privately run and depend on one thing and one thing only to stay in business: full beds. They have zero incentive to rehabilitate.
The only things that comes out of prisons are hardened criminals who are ready to re offend.
when four people attack you it’s not a fight
I have three kids… I simply can’t imagine this happening to one of them. I feel so bad for the father of this young lady. As well as her. I simply can’t fathom burying a child because of other kids her age being dicks.
@OnomatoPrinting Forget teaching them to defend themselves physically? That is incredibly bad advice. Many, many bullying situations have been resolved by the victim fighting back.
I’m glad I had the foresight not to have children 🔮
@admin That does not negate my point. It IS a good idea to train your kids some form of self defense. It also teaches self respect, among other things.
@The Great Gazoo Teaching self defense, yes. Teaching them to always respond with violence, like so many adults do (don’t believe me? Flip off a random stranger and see if they don’t go immediately to threats of violence) is the problem. Too many people act like like animals.
So sorry 😭 for your lost.She is so Beautiful , I hope she gets Justice.
Federal laws need to be put into place for anyone who is a part of these situations to be charged and prosecuted.
@Jessica Rummage Gravity and the maximum velocity were busy Jess.
The attackers be all good kids. They be all loving. They be misunderstood. You be racist for not liking them.
Yes! Exactly! Bullying in this day and age is completely unacceptable. Ignorance is now longer a justification for poor behavior. A national law should be passed to protect all children under the age of 18 who are subject to harassment or physical harm from their peers while being educated in an institution. Also, The parents of the bullies need to be punished as well. This nonsense of letting things slide because they do not know any better is not the right answer these days. Ignorance is not bliss. If a child willingly and knowingly inflict pain or punishment onto a peer because they just wanted to, they and their parents should be held accountable.
@DPS86 <<< thinks going to kids camp is justice
THAT 14 YEAR OLD GIRL WAS RAPED BY 1010 WINS NEWS.
My heart breaks for this family. The kids who beat this girl are dangerous and are on their way to being evil adults. They belong in juvenile detention and should face the consequences.
@Barry Parents raising kids without compassion or empathy is not the schools fault.
@JAMES C What is he going to do about it James, he said he talked to the school. You have parents raising kids without compassion or empathy who beat her but you blame the victem’s father?
@Ryan JessParents fault 100%. The parents are the one raising these monsters.
@BarryParents fault. They are the ones raising these monsters.
@MacK the Night actually it did did. According to Santos, back in 2018 when he was in a high school, he was mercilessly bullied by a group of anti-Semitic students which ultimately caused him to commit suicide.
I am so sorry for your loss of this beautiful young woman whose life was ended by the acts of horrendous hatred. Those of us that know how bullying works and happens know the schools rarely offer support or solutions, and the victim is often left isolated and surrounded by torment. May Adriana find healing in the arms of the Angels and may her parents and family be allowed to grieve in peace. What a waste of Life that she felt no relief in her school. Peace to the World.
This goes on in every school!! Even in Good Communities. I broke up two fights all by myself until help came. The school does nothing to repeat offenders. They don’t want to the Parents to know what is going on. Athletes get to play football after assaulting another student. Disgusting. Some of these violent students need professional help which they don’t get. Others are just bullies that have gotten away with it for years so they just get more violent.
The sadest thing is, the bullies won’t see much punishment for this. Bullying isn’t a mental illness, it’s an evil mentality. They already said it was a common thing and they know about it. It’s hard to think about what I would do to those kids if this was my daughter.
This is an incredibly sad story and while I know bullying has always been around, the leniency with the way bullies are dealt with never seems to change! They may well have murdered this beautiful young lady and tomorrow these bullies will go back to school and carry on like they had nothing to do with her death! It really pisses me off!
nobody cares until some kid dies like this…then suddently everyone cares for about 15 min and then moves on with their life. sad but true.
My heart is broken for this poor girl and her family.

This is so sad. I have a 14 year old son. I can’t even begin to know how the parents must feel. Heartbreaking. I’m angry that this happened. What is wrong with kids nowadays ? How could this happen ? 😢
They don’t want to be here….that’s the problem.
No wonder teens are so aggressive
I was fortunate enough never to have known bullying in my life, but as a parent of a 12 and 7 year old, I would probably fear for my kids if I wasn’t confident that the school they are in were competent.
My friend did this right after he was kicked out of a high school that seemed to hate him from the beginning. It messed us all up a little in different ways. RIP ENL
I’M SO SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GIRL AND THE FAMILY, I WAS BULLIED AT SCHOOL FOR 10 YEARS AND IT’S TERRIBLE, IT’S HARD TO FORGET ABOUT IT EVEN AFTER THERAPY
PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION! They are ZOOS and the ANIMALS populating them far outnumber the decent human beings who are there to receive and later benefit from an academic education. This is the FIRST THING YOU LEARN as a student in a public school. First the animals will drag you down to their level through peer pressure and then they will beat you with experience. Students from decent homes are targeted by the predators and future criminal class among them for psychological and physical abuse. Parents who send and subject their kids to public schools so as to “toughen” them up are in point of fact part of the problem. You’re setting your vulnerable and impressionable children up for psychological and physical abuse and trauma, the likes of which the Department of Youth and Family Services would invoke as the basis for seizing your children from you, their parent, had you been the perpetrator. If you wouldn’t swim in a pool, pond or lake stocked with sharks or crocodiles, why in the hell would anyone subject their own children to the incorrigible, feral and criminal element populating all too many public schools? Decent kids belong in a safe environment conducive to learning academics available in a parochial school system, NOT in a public school learning first hand just how pathological their peers both can be and actually are! Following receipt or observation of the first sign of abuse, a competent and diligent parent is then legally duty bound to take all necessary action to both stop and prevent its repetition. Apparently, the parent of this poor child failed to do all that he could, indeed all that he should have done. Yes, it’s a hell of a lot cheaper and less work to bury a child, then to protect and educate one to adulthood. The child victim is presented in a photo along side a horse. It’s worth noting that had the horse in the photo been reported as having been subjected to the same sort of abuse which compelled the young girl to take her own life, the SPCA would have instantly removed and separated that horse from the abusive environment and the accused perpetrators. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, had this poor child been enrolled in a parochial school, she would be alive today.
I was bullied in jr high school until I stood up for myself… it stopped.
Rest in Peace baby girl, I’m so sorry no one protected you. May those jealous monsters get what they deserve. 💔😪🙏🏾
Firstly let me express my Sincere Condolences, I feel your pain first hand.
We lost our 12 year old son to suicide in 1988 as a result of actions at the school he was attending.
The emotional pain of loss never seems to dissipate, yet it can eventually be overcome where you do your best to carry on day to day. I allow myself one day a year to fully acknowledge the loss of my son on the anniversary of his death. At first there was anger at everything and everybody connected to his death including my son. As time does heal, there always is a sense of loss when reflecting on the anniversary of his death. The inevitable question, “What would he be like/doing today”
My heart is heavy for that little girls family …. I cannot imagine the emotional pain she must have felt , heart wrenching … there has to be accountability …. there needs to be justice for Adriana …. may she now be at peace in the hands of God.
Sincere condolences ….
Zoe , Canada
