Bullied 10-year-old girl commits suicide

In 2011, a girl named Jasmine McClain, 10 year old, was found dead in her bedroom on a Monday night because of bullying and she decided to take her life away because she couldn’t handle anymore kids treating her badly. Jasmine hanged herself on a Monday night and her mother said that the last breath she took was in her arms. Jasmine’s mother was devastated that she couldn’t believe that kids these days would be so mean. Jasmine’s death was known for being suicide, because she was picked on at Chadbourne Elementary School, where children would make fun of her shoes and her clothes. The case was going to be closed until there were posts found on Facebook and gave them more information about the case. Jasmine left school for a while although she came back to school about a month later.  Before this incident, two years ago State lawmakers passed two anti-bullying laws which were Cyber bullying, online bullying, harassing people and making fun of people, and bullying in school property. Although, after Jasmine’s death there wasn’t any criminal charges yet because it wasn’t yet determined who were the people in charge of treating Jasmine McClain so bad that it would make Jasmine take her life away. The principal Deanna Shuman from Chadbourn Elementary, was working with the police to investigate the case of Jasmine McClain.
