Adriana Kuch, 14, was attacked by other students in the hallway of her high school last year. She later died by suicide after video of the assault was posted online.
The family of a New Jersey teenager who died by suicide after video of her being assaulted at her high school was posted online is suing the Board of Education and school officials, their attorneys said Monday.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Adriana Kuch’s family against the Central Regional Board of Education and others, alleges that officials were aware of “a culture of violence at Central Regional High School” and failed to protect her, the lawyers said.
Adriana took her own life after she was attacked by at least one other student in her high school last year and after video of the attack was posted online.
The assault and the video “led to her public humiliation and ultimate suicide,” the family lawyers said in a statement.
Schools and students rights are a pretty wild legal topic.
For instance, anything you say to the school administration can be used against you in court without you being read your rights.
This is because the school is legally operating as the parents while the child is there, and parents don’t need to read kids their rights.
But, the school is being sued for slander as well, so it could very well be that it was illegal to share that info.
Thank God it’s not fucked up like that in every country.
Our crazy is spreading. Get out and vote to prevent it from happening in your country.
