A father is demanding accountability from Central Regional High School in Ocean County, after his 14-year-old daughter committed suicide the day after girls in her class beat her up.
The assault in the school hallway was posted online, followed by online bullying, which the girl's grieving father claims drove his 14-year-old daughter, Adriana Kuch, to commit suicide.
Last week, a video surfaced on social media showing several students viciously attacking Kuch while she was walking with her boyfriend in a school hallway. She committed suicide at home two days later.
Her father is furious that police were not called to the school after the attack.
"When a child is assaulted with a weapon, their policy is not to call the police or file a report," Michael Kuch explained.

The father wrote on social media that he took his daughter to the police after the incident, and that if an investigation had begun then, the videos would have been discovered and removed immediately.
Kuch said of the video, "I want the entire world to know what these animals did to my daughter."
He believes that bullying is what drove his daughter to commit suicide. Kuch told several news media outlets that his daughter was taken to a nurse rather than the hospital despite the fact that she had blacked out and had bruising all over her body.
Kuch also demanded accountability from the Ocean County school district for harassment and bullying that he says Adriana suffered for a long time.
She took her life because she was so unbelievably embarrassed and they kept coming to her and attacking her (online),” the father of nine said about his youngest daughter. “On TikTok, Snapchat and sending her direct messages.”
