Bullying Blamed for 11-Year-Old London Girl's Suicide







Parents of 11-year-old Hailey Petee blame bullying for the loss of their daughter the past weekend in London, Ohio. Melinda Groce, the young girl’s mother, was aware of the bullying situation and even attempted to remove her daughter from the particular circumstances that led to her torment.   The bullying itself did not take place on school grounds but rather around town and on the school bus.


"I had her transfer to a different bus and I wouldn't let her go anywhere in town unless it was to her neighbor's, where they had built her a clubhouse, or to her friends house," Groce said.




Although it appeared to her parents that the young fifth grader was doing better, Hailey’s internal turmoil must have been too much to bear.


The London City School District is grieving along with Hailey’s parents and the community.
