Summary

Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, an 11-year-old girl from Gainesville, Texas, died by suicide after enduring months of bullying over her family’s immigration status.

Classmates allegedly mocked her and threatened to report her family to ICE. The school was aware of the bullying but failed to notify Carranza’s family.

Her mother, Marbella Carranza, only learned of the harassment after her daughter’s death and is now working with investigators and the school to understand what happened and why she was not notified.

    I don’t really care whether you engage.

    It’s an absurdity to suggest that my comment shifts blame to an 11 year old victim.

    Sure ok maybe some asshole Alex Jones type might try to say she over reacted, and they might do that by undermining her agency.

    That doesn’t mean that someone wondering about what an 11 year old’s understanding of suicide might be, is doing anything other than grieving for our collective loss of innocence.

    It’s a perfectly reasonable thing to wonder in trying to process the death of someone so young.
