New Jersey cheerleader, 12, dies in suspected suicide

Friends of a 12-year-old New Jersey cheerleader who died last week believe the young student committed suicide because she was bullied online.

The Morris County Prosecutor’s office said the death of Mallory Grossman was under investigation, but did not confirm whether she suffered from a fatal, self-inflicted wound, News 4 reported.

Relatives told the news station that Mallory’s mother complained to administrators at Copeland Middle School about the alleged cyberbullying hours before her daughter died.

Students at the Rockaway school on Monday sported light blue clothing in a call to stop bullying and a tribute to their dead classmate.

  1. They should lock up the criminals who did this…Ruin those devils

    RIP LITTLE ONE

  2. Unimaginable. Children need to discuss this in school. They’re so impressionable. Every bad thing “will never get better.” It will, though!

  3. This is a tragedy and the bullies need to be punished.
    Unfortunately the anti-bullying approach alone is just not working. More needs to be done to teach young kids to be more resilient and not invest so much of their self worth in social media.
    A real tragedy. Breaks my heart.

  4. If anyone has had teen daughters, you will know that something awful happens to a lot of young girls during the middle school phase. It can be real mean girls stuff. Most make it through fine, but in the age of social media these days, cliques form and the level and magnitude of bullying can lead to tragic consequences.

  5. Punishment for any bullying should be suspension for one year during childs community service period
    Which would be mandatory

  6. “Punishment for any bullying should be suspension for one year during childs community service period
    Which would be mandatory”

    Typical knee-jerk response to a tragedy, rather than an effective solution to the problem.

  7. Is there any update on the investigation?
