GREENSBORO N.C. (WGHP)
The mother of a girl who committed suicide after receiving bullying text messages attended a meeting in Greensboro to ask lawmakers to update the state bullying law, according to the Greensboro News & Record.
Christine Rogers, whose daughter Ashley Rogers committed suicide on April 14, is continuing her crusade across the state to push for tougher bullying laws. Earlier this week, Rogers attended the Forsyth County School Board meeting to discuss the problem.
Rogers claims that may have contributed to her daughter's death by sending her hateful text messages. The current bullying laws in North Carolina do not cover text messages.
Investigators say Ashley Rogers, a sophomore at Glenn High School in Kernersville, had received bullying text messages from other students days before her death. The Rogers are hoping their daughter's story can help change state law, and they met with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School Board Tuesday to talk about their ideas.
"Teachers have to be aware, social workers have to be aware. You may have a fragile student that's smiling on the outside, but if there's an indication or a red flag, something's wrong," said Christine Rogers at a meeting earlier this week. .
