N.J. school district where Adriana Kuch was attacked has a 'culture of violence,' community members

N.J. school district where Adriana Kuch was attacked has a 'culture of violence,' community members say

The New Jersey school district where 14-year-old Adriana Kuch was attacked before she died by suicide days later has a "culture of violence," according to members of the community.

Parents, teachers and students of Central Regional School District say administrators have a history of ignoring violence within the schools that dates back almost two decades.

Kuch was found dead in her Bayville home two days after a Feb. 1 attack at Central Regional High School. The attack was recorded, and the four students involved in the assault were suspended and charged, officials said.

At least four students told NBC News that administrators are dismissive when students come forward with bullying claims.

“There’s been a lot of rage and anger. They didn’t do anything,” said sophomore Sarah Gibson, 15. “That’s for everybody, not just Adriana. I, myself, have filed about seven bullying or harassment reports and nothing’s been done.”

I don't know how many of you have been following this story, but the ex-superintendent who ran his mouth ought to be stone. He is an a-hole.
