Summary

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, an 11-year-old girl from Gainesville, Texas, died by suicide after enduring months of bullying over her family’s immigration status.

Classmates allegedly mocked her and threatened to report her family to ICE. The school was aware of the bullying but failed to notify Carranza’s family.

Her mother, Marbella Carranza, only learned of the harassment after her daughter’s death and is now working with investigators and the school to understand what happened and why she was not notified.

    Blame?

    I kinda wonder how aware she was of the consequences of what she was doing.

    That’s not blame.

    That’s a perfectly normal thing to wonder.

    1. Was the bullying so bad it caused 12 year old suicide?
    2. Or being 11, did they have a fully comprehensive understanding of what suicide is?

    These are both very plausible and terrible things.

    No 'blame" in there. Get off that soapbox and back onto earth.
