Parents Hold School District Accountable After 12-Year-Old's Suicide Due to Bullying

Flora Martinez's family claims repeated pleas to address severe bullying were ignored by school officials.

Flora Martinez, a sixth-grader in Las Vegas, took her life after enduring relentless bullying throughout the school year.
Her parents accuse the Clark County School District of failing to protect her despite multiple reports and requests for intervention.
A transfer request to move Flora to a different school was allegedly denied by the district in October 2023.
The bullying persisted, leading Flora's family to keep her home for two weeks due to the severity of the incidents.
Flora's death follows a similar tragedy involving a 10-year-old boy in Indiana, highlighting a broader issue of bullying-related suicides.
