10-year-old takes her own life after suspected bullying incident caught on camera

"AURORA, Colo. -- An Aurora couple are dealing with an unimaginable loss as they prepare to lay their 10-year-old daughter to rest.

“She was just a child of joy and she brought joy to everyone,” her father Anthony Davis said."

Snip

“She was devastated when she found out that it had made it to Musical.ly,” Davis said.

The parents say the bullying she endured after the video surfaced was too much for the 10-year-old to handle.

“My daughter came home two weeks later and hanged herself in the closet,” Harris said."

"They believe she is the victim of “Bullycide.” The term is used for when someone takes his or her own life because of bullying.

“We have to stop it and we have to stop it within our kids,” Davis said.

Now they are hoping Ashawnty’s story will help save other lives and help put an end to bullying for good.

“I want other parents to know that it’s happening,” Harris said. “That was my baby and I love my baby and I just want mothers to listen.”"

"The Cherry Creek School District issued a statement on the case.

“This is a heartbreaking loss for the school community. Mental health supports will be made available for any students who need help processing the loss.

"We do not tolerate bullying of any kind in our schools and we have a comprehensive bullying prevention program in place at all of our schools. The safety and wellbeing of students is our highest priority and we strive every today to ensure schools are safe, welcoming and supportive places that support learning.

"We were made aware of that video when a media outlet approached us with it. We took immediate action in response, turning the video over to police and addressing the matter with students.

"It should also be noted that the video did not take place during school hours.”"

Parents say Aurora 10-year-old killed herself after bullying
http://www.9news.com/news/local/10-year-olds-death-investigated-as-suicide/495924828

""Suicide rates have doubled over the past 10 years and bullying is now really at crisis levels," Dr. Sheryl Ziegler, child therapist, said.

Ziegler has no direct knowledge of this case, but said in general bullying and especially cyber-bullying can create serious problems for kids especially at 10 years old.

"What we're seeing is that this has a tremendous effect on the fragile, growing brain of a child," Ziegler said. "It's very difficult for that child to handle that level of input.""

Horrifying. This poor sweet little girl. Parents, talk to your kids. Then talk to them again. And again. And again and again and again. You need to know if they're being bullied, AND you need to know if they are witnessing bullying. As hard as it is, you need to dispassionately determine whether THEY are the bullies.

There is so much sadness and suffering in the world, let's do everything we can to make sure we aren't contributing to it -- whether by our action or inaction.

Peace, love, and strength to the people who loved this little girl.

I thought of that too.

Lori Drew had other people involved in going after Megan Meier. Ashley Grills did most of the dirty work.

It stemmed from Megan not being friends with Sarah Drew.

Websleuth Radio Interview Tina Meier
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/websleuths/2013/09/30/tricias-true-crime-radio-adult-cyber-bullying

It starts at the 20:40 mark. Tina Meier describes Drew as a constant complainer who is miserable and bitter. That describes Gertrude Baniszewski, Dora Cisneros, Betty Broderick, Jodi Arias, Elliot Rodger, Devin Kelley, Omar Mateen, Stephen Paddock, and Osama bin Laden. She is an injustice collector like them.
