I hope the parents sue each individual school administrator and the school board. It won't bring back their kid, but it's still a form of justice.
Then again it's Texas, so justice is more of a concept than any kind of expectation.
This is utterly heartbreaking. Only 11 years old.
This is terrible. It's sad, so sad. The USA is complicit for the deaths of the Gazan kids by Netanyahu already, and now this. This is how decadent hegemonies look like.
May the bullies live to very very old age, haunted and ashamed by their crime, and always remembering with profound anguish this smiling face and these sparkling eyes that they extinguished.
Rest in peace girl.
There's going to be so much blood on Rump roasts hands... I don't know how he can look himself in the mirror. That's okay. Karma's a bitch. The next go around won't be so easy for them, I'm sure.
Disgusting. Fuck those hateful bullies and the parents who taught them.
I know everyone here is going to be talking about Trump but there's also the complete negligence of the school to talk about too. Bullying happens every day and it causes suicides all the time. Schools decide to take the easy path of ignoring it or blaming the victim every day too. Until there's accountability for the staff and bullies this problem will keep taking the lives of children and we will keep raising kids who see violence as a legitimate means to get ahead.
Straight up heartbreaking...
Not that we're undocumented or anything but bullying is yet another reason I'm homeschooling my kids. Fucking little shits. Nothing like Lord of the Flies blind-leading-the-blind mentality while the adults either endorse it (conservative fuckwits), or are too overworked to do anything about it.
I was bullied relentlessly throughout school. Kids told me to kill myself daily. And I tried to multiple times.
My mother contacted the school and the police when my bullies broke into our house when they thought I was home alone and the authorities just said, "Boys will be boys." We moved shortly after.
Kids are awful.
Adults are awful.
People are awful.
Cruelty like this is a learned trait, too. These kids didn't come up with this on their own, they learned the hatred at home.
Texas is awful. The United States is awful.
This is a tragedy. And everybody knows the US is a rogue state now. I'm more interested in reading about solutions, then further emotionalizing the debate. This isn't helping anymore, it just makes ad money and attacks peoples mental health. Everyone already picked a side, so what do you want to do next?
omg that is just heart wrenching. Poor little girl….I am so sorry for you and your family. <3
Those kids should be forced to hear her name every morning they wake up for the rest of their lives.
