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.
I’m about 50/50 on not wanting this happen to me because I want my kids to outlive me and because I’m legitimately scared of how I’d react being in that situation. I know how I’d want to react, which is cold calculating and devastatingly civilized. I fear it would be cold and devastatingly chaotically dangerous.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t mean to say you half want your child to die by suicide.
I’d say obviously not but judging by the down votes it didn’t come across the way I intended. Definitely meant it as there are two reasons, split equally.
I’d fear my reaction because I’m scared I’d react in a way that would prevent me from caring for my surviving children and spouse.
Yeah that makes sense. It’s hard to pick the sensible option of supporting your family when such injustice is done to someone you love.
Im not scared of how I would react, as if it did what would I have left? Suicidal as a teen and don’t think I’d be long for this world if I lost them, so what the worst that could happen to me?
