CLASS CAMERAS of a teenager who died by suicide broke down in tears as they described “toxic bullying” at school that reportedly led to her death.

In Bayville, New Jersey, the father of 14-year-old Central Regional High School student Adriana Kuch found his daughter dead of suicide at her home on February 3.

Two days earlier, a video posted on TikTok showed Adriana had been attacked by four other teenagers, according to CNN.

The attackers could be seen throwing a drink at Adriana and kicking and punching her.

They then dragged her down the hall and shoved her into lockers, pulling her hair in the process.

The teenagers have been charged with assaulting Adriana and the situation has sparked anger and outrage from the 14-year-old’s teachers and classmates.

A school board meeting for the Central Regional School District was held this week where heated comments and heartbreaking pleas were heard regarding a culture of bullying at the school.

“[Adriana] have raised numerous accounts of her being bullied and you guys just sat and did nothing,” Hailie Engesser, a ninth grader and one of Adriana’s friends, told the school board.

“It’s really, really hard going to school because of all the bullying and everything that’s going on.

“But it’s the fact that you didn’t inform the police about that or about Adriana. She passed out on the floor… You could have prevented that.”

Other students came forward to share their stories of being bullied at school, including one student who even compared the environment to prison, according to The New York Post.

“I’ve been called multiple racist things, multiple insults, to the point of hearing it [them], I don’t bat an eyelid. I’m used to it,” said 16-year-old Roman Velez, a sophomore.

Velez claimed that his inquiries to school officials about the alleged racist remarks were “swept under the rug.”

“When people ask me about my experience at Central Regional, it’s not like, ‘I went to CR.’

“It’s ‘I survived CR’ because when you get to school it’s like prison,” he continued.

Parents have also passionately expressed their stance on the matter, including Rachael O’Dea, whose 14-year-old daughter suffered an almost identical attack at Central Regional in January last year.

Speaking to The US Sun, O’Dea said her daughter – like Adriana – was attacked from behind by a group of girls who hit her 30 times in the head, neck and back.

One of the attackers held her daughter down while a second beat her repeatedly, court documents say.

A third attacker filmed the attack and later posted the video to social media, sparking a wave of online abuse and harassment.

O’Dea claims that the three people responsible for attacking her daughter are “friends of friends” of the group who attacked Adriana.

She said there was a “problematic” circle of friends in the Central Regional that had not been adequately addressed by school officials.

In the weeks leading up to the attack, O’Dea said her daughter told campus officials she was being followed and threatened by her would-be attackers, but nothing was done.

The headmaster resigned following criticism following Adriana’s death.

dr Triantafillos Parlapanides resigned after concerns were raised over his comments about Adriana’s behavior and possible drug use.

He told DailyMail.com that he “had nothing more to say” when asked if the comments were an attempt to avoid blame and whether he thought they were insensitive.

Parlapanides also reportedly told the Daily Mail that the girl is having problems at home.

Kuch’s father has described the gruesome attack before his daughter’s death as “senseless bullying” and vowed to get his daughter justice.
