Sunday, September 29, 2024 –A 14-year-old Vermont girl killed herself after being relentlessly bullied at school in the United States of America.
Isabelle Vezina-Dykeman was a freshman
at the Mill School in Winooski, an alternative high school for students with
complex needs.
But she was bullied over her mother’s
ongoing health issues, which included brain surgery that left the woman with a
shuttered eye, according to reports.
“She was excited about the school
year, excited about being a freshman,” her mother, Heather Miller,
told WCAX, adding the teen was “spunky,” outgoing, and “loved to dance”
and ice skate.
Miller said her daughter Isabelle was teased all day at school, and even after school dismssed, through heartless text messages poking fun at her and how her mother looks.
Miller recently underwent brain
surgery, which left her right eye shuttered.
When her daughter returned from
school Sept. 15 obviously upset, Miller figured she would give Isabelle some
space to unwind.
“I thought I was doing the right
thing,” Miller told WCAX, “but in 35 minutes, our whole lives changed.”
Isabelle died by her own hands that very night, the outlet reported.
The Mill School is investigating the
mom’s bullying claims, the school told WCAX.
“We, at the Mill School, have been
devastated by the loss of one of our students,” reads a statement from the
school. “We are working with the appropriate agencies and continue to provide
counseling support.”
Miller said Isabelle’s organs were
donated, and helped save the lives of seven people.
Another child received Isabelle’s
eyes, and can now see.
