Jasmine McClain, Age 10, Commits Suicide Because of Bullies

Bullied 10-year-old girl commits suicide





CHADBOURN, N.C. — Columbus County authorities are investigating the death of a 10-year-old girl who hanged herself Monday night after repeatedly being bullied at school.

Samantha West said she found her daughter, Jasmine McClain, dead in her bedroom Monday night.

"I just lost it because she took her last breath in my arms," West said Wednesday. "She was a loving child. I just don't understand."

This little 10 year old girl committed suicide just 3 days after 10 year old Ashlynn Conner committed suicide. Both by hanging and both because of bullies.

I think it's way past time to do something to stop bullying. It starts at home, then should continue at school. Teachers and administration need to quit being scared to take a stand and get involved.
