2 teen girls arrested in death of 12-year-old
Print Edition
Two girls were arrested in a Florida bullying case after one of them admitted online over the weekend that she harassed a 12-year-old girl killed herself last month, a sheriff said yesterday.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said they arrested a 14-year-old girl because they were worried she would continue cyberbullying other girls. The girl is accused of bullying 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick, who climbed at tower at an abandoned concrete plant on September 9 and hurled herself to her death.
Judd said they arrested the 14-year-old girl after she posted online on Saturday that she bullied Rebecca and she didn’t care.
Police also arrested a 12-year-old girl who is accused of bullying Rebecca. Both have been charged with aggravated stalking.
Judd said the bullying began after the 14-year-old girl started dating a boy that Rebecca had been seeing.
She “didn’t like that and began to harass and ultimately torment Rebecca,” Judd said.
The 12-year-old girl was Rebecca’s former best friend, but Judd said the 14-year-old girl turned her against Rebecca. Other girls also stopped being friends with her in fear of being bullied, the sheriff said.
