The superintendent of the New Jersey school district where a 14-year-old student took her own life days after a TikTok video showed she was attacked by four other teenagers has resigned, the district announced.
Four students at Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township, located in Ocean County, New Jersey, have been charged in connection with the attack, according to prosecutors. The incident has sparked outrage among students and parents who say it reflects a culture of bullying in the district. Adriana Kuch, 14, was found dead in her home in Bayville, New Jersey on February 3, her father told CNN. Prosecutors say she was assaulted on February 1 at the high school.
He also claims the school did not file a police report with the Berkeley Township Police Department. The department told CNN in a statement that “all information and releases about this case are being handled by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.” CNN has contacted the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office to confirm whether the girls returned to school after their suspensions and whether school officials filed a police report after the February 1 attack.
