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.
Ashawnty Davis was a fifth-grader at Sunrise Elementary School in Aurora. She had a passion for basketball and wanted to grow up to be a WNBA star.
But her parents say something changed in the happy little girl at the end of October when she was involved in a fight after school on Sunrise Elementary property.
“She got into her first ever fight. It was recorded by a student and sent to an app called Musical.ly,” Davis said.
In the video, Ashawnty and another girl are seen fighting, while a group of kids watched. According to Ashawnty’s mother, her daughter confronted the girl, who she claims had been bullying her.
“I saw my daughter was scared,” said Latoshia Harris, Ashawnty’s mother.
While the video is difficult to watch, her parents believe it’s important to see.
“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.
Ashawnty spent nearly two weeks at Children’s Hospital Colorado on life support before dying Wednesday morning.

Taught in public schools today, if you’re not white you’re a victim. Not much of a future in that to look forward to.
Sociopaths usually don’t suffer from the normal range of emotions that impact healthy people.
And you are an embarassment. This was a 10 year old child.
I remember that. It was infuriating.
Oh, please.
Had the child been taught, by her parent, by her school and by society, how to deal with emotional challenges, she would be alive today.
Children are given toxic mixed messages. They are told they deserve to have a perfect life, without having to work for it, and if they don’t get it, then someone else should pay for it.
They are taught that happiness comes from a pill or a powder, liquor or a longneck. They are taught that if they don’t like reality, then drug themselves into oblivion.
At the same time, minorities, and women, in fact, all the ‘identity groups’, all the Democrat constituencies, are told that they CAN”T make it, they CAN’T succeed without government or societal help.
I do not blame the child. I do very much blame those who “taught” her that suicide was the only answer.
I cry for the loss of that child, but realize there are and will be many more if we do not solve the problems detailed above.
10 flipping years old.
You did blame the child. Go back and look.
You need to take a break from the internet. You are a dumb ass fool.
If you said these things about her in front of her parents, your life would end.
It was so much easier when all we had to worry about was being nuked into oblivion by the USSR.
And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I think that real, but remote, threat was easier to deal with than all the artificial SJW bullcrap the leftist are dumping on kids today.
No
>>And no, I’m not being sarcastic. I think that real, but remote, threat was easier to deal with than all the artificial SJW bullcrap the leftist are dumping on kids today.
I agree. We had MAD and a rational enemy in those days. Today, we face racial Islam and Snowflakes who have no conscience or sense of consequences. The former doesn’t care if they die. The latter cannot comprehend not winning and can not grasp the idea that even victory is going to destroy their life too.
We are literally facing a massive pack of rabid animals today.
Good point! ( sadly)
