The spread of the central regional high school fight video forced a 14-year-old girl to commit suicide.
Adriana Kuch, a Central Regional High School student, was a victim of bullying. She took her own life two days after a video of her being brutally beaten by other girls was posted on social media.
Kuch, described as a caring girl by those who knew her, was attacked by four girls at school last week, who also filmed the fight.
The video, seen by a Patch reporter, shows Kuch walking along the hallway on February 1 when the girls arrive and begin to attack her.
In the graphic video, the violent girls can be seen jumping on Adriana. One of the girls struck a water bottle on Adriana’s face while others kept throwing punches at her and dragged her by her hair.
The girls who bullied Adriana posted a video of the horrible beating on social media. The video spread on social media like wildfire, and the video received all kinds of reactions from Adriana’s schoolmates.
People started making fun of her and threatened to hit her again. Two days later, on February 3rd, 2023, Adriana took her own life to get rid of bullying once and for all. She left her friends and family feeling shocked and saddened.
Each girl involved in the fight received ten days suspension – including Adriana Kuch. But more is needed for those demanding justice.
“We want them to be prosecuted,” Meredith Demuro, a freshman at the school, said.
News 12 New Jersey reported that three girls were charged with third-degree felony assault, and the fourth was charged with disorderly conduct.
The school’s reaction to Kuch’s death was pathetic, Demuro added. An announcement on the district website mentioned that a tragic death had occurred and that crisis counselors were available to those in need – but students proclaim that the school administration did not tell them about it in person.
“Nobody was supposed to know Adriana killed herself,” said fellow student Lance Jones, but he said that teachers were talking about it, which is why it spread through the school.
Jones said that when Adriana took her life, the administration at the school tried to get students to delete the videos of the fight. He said that the school was trying to silence the students.
