BAYVILLE, N.J. -- The father of a 14-year-old girl who took her own life last week, days after being bullied at school, says if the district had taken action sooner, his daughter might be alive.
"She loved life. She was the happiest kid. Everybody love her," Michael Kuch said Thursday.
Kuch is heartbroken. He said his daughter, Adriana, died by suicide after a disturbing video was posted on social media showing a number of students attacking her as she walked with her boyfriend in a hallway at Central Regional High School in the Bayville section of Berkeley Township.
"They just kept at it, after they jumped her. They would keep sending her videos. Then they would get screen shots of the videos because the videos kept getting taken down and then they would write nasty comments on it," Kuch said.
Dr. Triantafillos Parlapanides, superintendent of schools, told CBS2, "We always address every issue of bullying and on the day of the incident four students were suspended."
Kuch said police should have been called immediately because the students, who he said his daughter had been having problems with, smashed her face with a 20-ounce bottle.
He also said his daughter, who had bruises on her body, should've been taken to the hospital.
Meanwhile, three girls have been charged with third-degree felony assault and another with disorderly conduct.
