14-year-old NJ girl takes her own life after four classmates brutally beat her in school hallway

"I want the entire world to know what these animals did to my daughter," Michael Kuch, father of 14-year-old Adriana Olivia Kuch, said.

...

Four New Jersey high school students have been suspended indefinitely after they allegedly attacked a 14-year-old student in the hallway, who took her life 48 hours later after video of the attack surfaced online.

Ocean County prosecutors reportedly told Michael Kuch, father of 14-year-old Adriana Olivia Kuch, that at least three of the girls involved are facing criminal charges for the February 1 attack on his daughter at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Townshi

...

District officials said that the four girls’ suspensions will last until the legal process plays out.

Family members found Adriana Kuch dead by suicide at her Bayville home on February 3. Just two days earlier, video posted to social media revealed several students brutally attacking the freshman as she and her boyfriend walked down the school hallway.

According to NJ.com, the less than one minute video showed Adriana Kuch walking down the hallway when a female student repeatedly hit her in the face with a water bottle. After she fell to the floor, the female student continued pulling her hair and punching her head. At least two students could be heard off-camera cheering on the attack.

The attack was broken up 30 seconds later by two school employees, with Adriana Kuch left bruised and bloodied on the floor.

Michael Kuch told NBC 4 that his daughter was taken to a nurse, not the hospital, despite blacking out and being covered in bruises.

"I want the entire world to know what these animals did to my daughter," Michael Kuch said, adding that "a kid is assaulted with a weapon and their policy is not to call the police or file a report."

On Wednesday, more than 200 students at Central Regional High School staged a walkout, expressing their anger over the school administration’s handling of bullying.

"Adriana took her own life because nobody at the school was able to help or care or step in," sophomore Roman Valez told NBC 4. "I would actually like to teach the people who bully what they’re actually doing and how it affects."

Another student said he wanted those involved to be "criminally charged because some girl killed herself because of their actions."

"Adriana seemed to have been an especially loved student. A neighbor shared video from last summer when a daughter appeared to be drowning in her backyard pool — that's when Adrianna jumped in to save the little girl," NBC 4 reported.

"She was like a daughter to me, she was at my house almost every day," said neighbor Roxanne Gattuso.

Taking your own life does not engender sympathy.

Well, sadly, she is dead…so she doesn’t need your “no sympathy for you!”, anyway.

The grieving family, however, could use some sympathy and prayers in this horrific situation. God, I pray Your hand be upon this grieving family in this heartbreaking time.

Yeah I didn’t have the urban setting to contend with, and I never ‘got’ the girl- that didn’t happen till my mid-20’s.

The attackers were girls. The big one may not look like a girl, but they were female.

The one guy was Adriana’s boyfriend, and he was defending her.

1....They cost money...no one wants to spend the money. Number 2...Our population isn’t currently capable of producing the numbers of qualified mature and moral persons needed to run these centers. number 3....No one would agree to allow any of that needed “God stuff’ to be the foundational ethos of what would run these centers.

The righteous population will have to go total ape war Bosnia to get rid of what is ailing us now! (We don’t have the stomach for it yet but we will soon enough)

“I’m curious why the extreme reaction?”
I see you’re from California...no wonder, even many of the best of them(native or otherwise) often suffer from a streak of sociopathic tone deafness! Must be a hazard of living in Filthypornia. Hope you don’t fall over the edge in your life!

Maybe you are simply one of those Aliens that are driving the NAVY Pilots crazy so we shouldn’t expect normal human reactions from you. OK Mr. Spock, how else logically should many folks react to this....I mean having feelings and all that??!!

I have to admit in my entire working life I have never been jumped by three co-workers while I was on the job.

That kids need to learn when and how to fight I will agree with but this is not the way.

Yes.

A lot of sympathy for her family, friends and loved ones.

Suicide is a horrible thing to do to them.

I see you cannot make a rational comment.

Is there a father in the picture? What man would let that be done to his daughter?

Yes I’ve heard sociopaths use words like that. It must be hard defending yourself against your own feelings.

There is a difference between some 35 year criminal punk offing himself rather than face justice and yes one might not feel so bad about that versus a 14 year old girl just beaten up and probably concussed, confused scared and feeling like she has no way out. perhaps this gal wasn’t so much of a “spitfire” one posting described her as but a 14 year on a monthly estrogen rollercoaster still coming to grips with her budding womanhood. I have daughters who were that age once...not fun!

Now I will say I do have some questions about the suicide, like why the girl felt like she could not reach out to parents or loved ones and the fact she was not being sheltered away from her cell phone and social media for a while. The girl may have felt that she was in a double bind, knowing that she might have to go back to that school again. I have a question as to whether or not the girl was in a concussive syndrome due to the blows to the head and one doesn’t think straight sometimes. The girl was left alone so soon after such trauma, I have some issues with that. Normalcy Bias comes to mind with family maybe trying to get things back to “where they were”, perhaps too quickly? So there are aftermath issues that raise questions for me. Does that sound rational enough to you?

It doesn’t excuse the obtuseness of your statement! Eh...Mr Spock??!!

The entire administration of that school should be unemployed... There is no need to “wait for the legal process” - the video couldn’t be more clear - these four “girls” plotted then assaulted this young person - and it happened under the watch of a feckless administration who, after the attack - and with clear, unquestionable evidence - are doing the least they can get away with. This only encourages more violence.

Yep - every administrator of that school should be unemployed. And financially ruined for life.

ANd I don’t care about the age & skin color of the perpetrators or victim - such animal-like evil should be treated as such. Period. Attempted murder charges (as adults) would not be too much. I will refrain from going any further with my thoughts on this public forum. Suffice it to say - as a father - I would likey be the one headed to jail.
