Girl kills self over torment by bullies at school for months

A 12-year-old Las Vegas girl in Nevada, United States, Flora Martinez, took her own life on Tuesday, May 7, after being tormented by bullies at her middle school for months.

According to Dailymail Online, Martinez, a sixth grader at Keller Middle School, killed herself eight months and one day after her transfer out of Duane D. Keller middle school was denied.

Her funeral was held on Thursday, May 16. 

It was learnt that her distraught parents are now blaming the Clark County School District for not doing enough to protect their daughter.

Grieving 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 that their daughter’s peers 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 bullying 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 bullied to death.”

Flora’s parents described their daughter as artistic. Someone who was full of life, and empathetic who loved ‘ice cream and seafood.” 

DailyMail.com reached out to the Clark county School District for comment. 

The tragic tale came just days after it emerged that a 10-year-old boy, Sammy Teusch, had killed himself in Indiana on March 5 following relentless bullying at school about his teeth and glasses.  

His parents from Greenfield said they complained to his school repeatedly but were ignored.

His funeral was on Tuesday, and attended by hundreds.

Indiana police had reportedly launched an investigation into the shock suicide and said that his classmates could face criminal charges.
