Dad Thinks Racial Bullying Spur Girl’s Suicide


Fairfield Township is in morning after seventh-grader, Emilie Grace Olsen, fatally shot herself and now her father, Marc Olsen, is looking for answers.  Mr. Olsen claims that his daughter’s suicide is due to her being racially bullied.

Emilie was adopted and was of Chinese descent. Her father says, “I’m not saying the school did something wrong, but I am looking for answers.”
Emilie was bullied in elementary school, as well as in seventh grade. Fairfield Schools Spokeswoman, Gina Gentry-Fletcher, says, “Unfortunately there have been many rumors and misinformation about bullying in regards to the tragedy. The middle school administration was advised of previous concerns regarding bullying, however the district believed the issue had been resolved to the complete satisfaction of the family.”
The police investigation is still ongoing.
