11-Year-Old Texas Girl Bullied Over Family's Immigration Status Takes Her Own Life
A sixth grade girl took her life after classmates bullied her over her family's immigration status and threatened to contact ICE to deport her parents.Taylor Odisho (Latin Times)
Unus Nemo reshared this.
yes...
...and honestly I respect that the school counselor left it up to her whether to disclose to her family or not.
now it's beyond irresponsible that these adults in the school didn't do more to stop the aggressing students, didn't confront *their* families about the abuse.
people disclosing harassment, discrimination, personal emotional struggles, should never have that shared without their agreement, to anyone besides the people they *chose* to disclose it to.
Counselors have a duty to protect confidentiality, but also to protect the student. It's possible to anonymize reports of bullying. Failing to act to stop these cases is tantamount to abetting them.
A 6th grader committed suicide, and those bullies will spend the rest of their lives having bullied someone to death. By commission or ommision, every adult failed them.
Other school workers and administrators almost certainly knew this was happening and are probably the ones who set her up with counselor services in the first place, so it wasn't "on" the counselor to "tell" them. (This is, in part, an illustration of how abuse is "erased" by reframing it as a "mental health issue" of the victim.)
Yes every adult in the school failed her. I simply don't see "telling the victim's parents without the victim's consent" as something that could have fixed this.
(What could the parents have done? Anything the parents could have done about the bullies, other adults *also* could have done about the bullies. Other adults in the school could also have a conversation with her about why it might be a good idea to tell her parents - while ultimately trusting her to make that call as the person who knew her family/living situation best.)
It was a complex job, but nothing got to me like cases of harassment: usually sexual harassment, but a few were rooted in gender, race, and ethnicity
I can still see the eyes of every single victim who came ito my office thinking they were alone and powerless.

BREAKING! #LeonardPeltier Left Prison on Tuesday Morning
By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Feb. 18, 2025
"Leonard Peltier will be welcomed home today, and greeted with signs along the roadway and a community feast. 'In The Honor Of' meal will be held at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center in
#BelcourtNorthDakota, on February 18th, 2025. The meal will start at 6:00 p.m.
'Let's celebrate Leonard with the honor and glory that he deserves,' Peltier's family said.
"'As Leonard arrives on home to the Turtle Mountains, supporters of Leonard's are welcome to come and join the celebration in giving Leonard a warm welcome home by holding signs, honking, cheering and clapping with cars lined up starting from the reservation line coming from Rolla stretching into Belcourt. Please stay safe, no standing on the highway and stay on the shoulder. Please do not leave any signs behind, take them with you.'
"'As Leonard passes through, we are not allowed to follow him, please respect this. Following Leonard's welcome home at the reservation line everyone is welcome to gather for a meal in the honor of Leonard at the Sky Dancer Casino Event Center for stew, bangs and gullet as this is the first meal that Leonard requested for when he returns home.'
"'We do not know yet as of this post of Leonard's restrictions if he will be able to attend the meal.'
"Leonard is an 80-year-old elder with health problems and his first day of being released after nearly 50 years of incarceration will be a lot for Leonard to comprehend. If Leonard cannot attend, we are trying to set up for him to be on FaceTime or a phone call during the meal.'
"'The exact time of Leonard's arrival to Belcourt is still unknown.'
"'Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate this historical day of honoring our elder Leonard Peltier,' Peltier's family said today.
"Please check back for the livestream on Censored News on Tuesday."
