A 12-year-old Las Vegas girl took her own life after being tormented by b¥llies at her school for months.
Flora Martinez, a sixth grader at Keller Middle School, killed herself on May 7 – eight months and one day after her transfer out of Duane D. Keller middle school was denied.
Her funeral was on Thursday, May 16.
Her parents are now blaming the Clark County School District for not doing enough to protect their daughter.
Her mother, Alice Martinez told News8: “I feel like the school had a duty to keep her safe, while she was in their care and they just failed miserably.”
The young girl’s parents said their daughter’s mates started bullying her early into the school year. Flora’s mother claimed both she and her child approached the assistant principal for help.
The mom then submitted paperwork for her daughter’s transfer out of the middle school, but her request was denied in October.
Flora’s mother said she had taken her daughter out of school for two weeks early in the school year when the b¥llying began, but when she returned to school it intensified.
“Everybody that had a hand in that request to transfer her failed her. If you’re a parent and you’re not outraged by this, you’re part of the problem too,” Martinez said.
Flora’s dad Joshua Parker said: “This wasn’t just one incident that happened, and you know, she decided to take her life.
“This was months and months and months of bullying that built up, and finally, she just couldn’t take it no more.”
The heartbroken father added: “Look how hard it was on my daughter. My daughter was literally b¥llied to d£ath.”
