A 14-year-old girl in New Jersey ended her life after a video of her getting bullied surfaced online. The girl's father now demands justice from the school as he believes his teen daughter ended her life after experiencing severe bullying for several years.

Adriana Kuch who attended Central Regional High School in Berkeley Township was found dead at home two days after her classmates beat her up on Feb. 1, NY Post reported.

The disturbing video showed Adriana getting struck with a water bottle while walking in the school hallway along with her boyfriend. According to the 20-second-long video posted online, she was punched and kicked and her hair was pulled. The video ends with someone saying "that's what you get, you stupid a– b—."

"They think it's fun to attack people and take videos and post them. Getting hit with a water bottle didn't hurt Adriana, what hurt her was the embarrassment and humiliation, they just kept coming at her," Adriana's father Michael Kuch said.

Michael also complained that the school did not call the police or an ambulance after the incident. "My daughter actually blacks out and they don't call an ambulance, they take her to the nurse's office," he said.

Central Regional School District superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides shared his condolences to the grieving family. "The entire district is shaken by the loss of such a young child. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family," Parlapanides said as per Patch.

Parlapanides admitted that police were not called after the incident as it was not the school's policy. "I don't believe a police report was done. We normally just suspend. If a parent wants to press charges, they can with the police," Parlapanides said.

After Adriana's death, police charged the four girls involved in the incident with third-degree felony assault, her father said.

"These 4 girls planned and executed an attack. If you watch the videos I have, they are laughing while talking about what they are going to do...If the school contacted the police and filed a report and conducted an investigation, these videos could have been discovered immediately," Michael said.

"I want the entire world to know what these animals did to my daughter. I will not sleep until their family has to watch them stand in front of a judge and plead guilty," the grieving father added.

Michael also demands accountability from the Ocean County school district for harassment the girl was reportedly undergoing for several years.
