3 Alleged Cyber Bullies Suspended From Florida School Hockey League After Teen Kills Herself

Three Florida cyber bullies have been suspended from their hockey league after they allegedly relentlessly bullied a teammate, who then committed suicide, according to a report.

McKenna Brown, 16, took her own life in August after she began talking to one of her friends’ former boyfriends — which prompted the would-be pal and some other girls to taunt and harass her, her mother Cheryl Brown told Dr. Phil this week.

Brown was a star athlete who hoped to play women’s hockey at the University of South Florida. She was one day away from starting her last year at East Lake High in Tarpon Springs when she killed herself on Aug. 7.

“She left a letter that was very thoughtful and didn’t call any of these people out,” her mother told Dr. Phil. “…I knew it had something to do with these girls.”

The alleged bullies reportedly leaked personal information about McKenna, including that she had been raped at 14, in order to “humiliate and embarrass her,” her mother said.

Other text messages, obtained by Fox 13, showed that one of the girls messaged McKenna: ‘You have done all of us so wrong’ and ‘I hope I never see you again.’

She also was sent lengthy messages and was bombarded by other girls, including one message that reportedly said they “wanted to leave her without a single friend.”

The girls suggested on social media that others “cancel” McKenna.

The worst of the bullies even showed up at McKenna’s funeral, claims the victim’s mother, who believes the aggressor is “unremorseful.”

Such a shame as she was probably prettier than the lot of them.

Did this story exist before Dr. Phil got involved? If so, it's worth looking into. If not, it's unlikely to be.

Don't misunderstand, a young person rejecting the life she has left is profoundly sad. But the cyberbullying aspect is almost positively bogus if Dr Phil is the first source of that aspect of the story.

No one with a real victim's story to tell would begin that daunting task in a place where everyone is exploited and revictimized as a matter of procedure.
