Boycott US

Turns out, this wasnt true.

The district’s transportation director submitted a referral to the school confirming the student’s remarks reported by Jocelynn, noting they “were directed at a group of Hispanic students and not” to her, the district said. While she “was not seated with the group,” she “was close enough to hear the remarks.” The investigation also found “this was not a one-time occurrence.”

So first off, she wasnt the one being bullied. It was a general thing with kids being assholes to each other on a bus.

Another concern emerged during student interviews, the district said.

“It was reported by multiple students that JRC told them that she had been inappropriately touched by a family member and wished to keep this a secret to avoid getting them in trouble,” the report states.

The district told Child Protective Services about these reports, and the agency is investigating, the district’s statement notes. CNN has reached out to CPS.

“Furthermore, it was disclosed that JRC had previously expressed thoughts of selfharm to a cousin, who informed JRC’s mother,” the statement added. The district said that this information was never shared with school officials, preventing them from providing resources or intervening.

And there you have it, the real story. The girl was abused by a family member, and the mother knew. More than that, she knew the child was struggling with thoughts of self harm over it, and did nothing. And then once she died, she blamed some random non encounter, and continues to protect the family member that touched the girl.

All of this is far harder to get into people heads though, than an easily clickable social media post designed to get you raging at the culture wars...
