A New Jersey superintendent has resigned after telling a news outlet personal information about a 14-year-old high school student who died by suicide earlier this month.
Adriana Kuch died on Feb. 3, just days after she was beaten up in school by fellow students while others recorded the attack on video, her family says.
The freshman's death sparked a wave of protests in the Central Regional School District along the Jersey Shore. It also spurred questions about the district's response, and whether the administration had done enough to prevent bullying.
Her father, Michael Kuch, has said on social media and in media interviews that bullying led his daughter to take her own life. He blamed school administrators for not doing enough to prevent abusive behavior.
"They're absolutely refusing to protect our children," Kuch told NBC New York. "I mean, why would anybody want to send their kids there?"
