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.
It’s more fucked up than just that.
The school (for some reason) gave UK Tabloid The Daily Mail an interview.
They said the father cheated on the mother and forced the daughter to move in with the mistress, that the victim was a drug dealer and was beaten for selling laced marijuana to her attackers, so the victim killed herself because of her unstable home life and drug addiction, not the beating the school ignored.
So they’re not just being sued for not doing anything after the beating, they’re being sued for slander as well.
Edit:
Since OPs link doesn’t go into all that, here’s the article I read the other day so you don’t have to take my word on it

I also forgot the school brought up the victims mom died of suicide as well… Implying it would have happened anyways.
“eat the shit sandwich” is unbelievably crass when talking about the suicide of a teenage girl who was their student. Fucking hell.
What does that even mean in this context? I’m pretty sure that dad has been eating shit sandwiches for a couple of years now. Why does he have to eat more? Sounds like an insensitive halfwit wrote that email.
I can only interpret it as “fuck you, deal with it”. My sister committed suicide over 20 years ago and if anyone talked like this to me today I don’t know that I would handle it legally. It’s so fucked up.
I mean, they’ll deal with it all right: by emptying the school’s pockets.
Jesus, that’s just pure malice on the school’s part. Not even through incompetence, it seems downright deliberate. Absolute sociopaths, I hope the family takes them to the fuckin’ cleaners.
Yeah, I was really surprised this article just ignores all that extra stuff. That’s the main reason for the lawsuit.
Especially since it was for a tabloid from another country, like why wouldn’t you just ignore them?
Yeeeeeeeeshhhh good fuck them then I hope they all burn
And we let people like this near kids. No wonder society is where it’s at
Jfc
God, it boils your blood doesn’t it. That poor child. She is at peace now.
Even if any of that was true, how could they be allowed to share a students personal details like so?
Schools are run by sociopaths.
We’re really just going to lay a blanket statement down like this? Every single one, everywhere, run by sociopaths? No room for nuance here at all?
Reminder that schools are often run by former teachers. You know, those severally underpaid and overworked people that do one of the hardest and most important jobs there is.
Remember what ACAB, landlord hating, anybody that’s not communist or fixing every world problem with the snap of a finger platform you’re on.
Not only that, but there’s far fewer to literally no mod tools, bot detection, and vote manipulation detection either.
It makes things make a lot more sense when you realize half your politics and news threads are about as extreme as you can get short of being straight up 8chan.
Shipmate, why are you even here?
To show that there’s sensible people here so others can get the fuck off reddit too.
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.
