Her mum, Wendy Feucht believes her daughter had been bullied because of her uneven chin which was caused by a tumor that was removed. Feucht said her daughter’s best friend often told her that Bethany and her often got bullied by their peers in school.
Feucht said:
‘I think that she was just done. She didn’t feel like anybody could do anything to help her. ‘People need to know that even the littlest things can break someone.’
Feucht continued:
‘She told her she loved her and that she was her best friend forever, but that she was going to kill herself when she got home.’
He said that his daughter’s uneven grin was caused by a tumor that was removed. The father said fellow students noticed and several bullied Bethany.
He said:
‘I think that’s why she took her life.’
The Superintendent at Bethany’s school, Chris Piper confirmed that Bethany was bullied the previous year and it was settled.
He said:
‘There was no evidence of a pattern of bullying this year.’ Piper revealed there are endeavors ‘to change the school climate … and re-evaluate our anti-bullying educational side so that we are able to determine when things go from normal misbehavior to a pattern of bullying and to deter and stop misbehavior’.Source: The Columbus Dispatch
