Three weeks ago, 10-year-old Ashawnty Davis of Colorado killed herself after being a victim of bullying. And now the family is asking for the publicβs help to raise money for her burial expenses.
Ashawnty, a fifth-grader at Sunrise Elementary School in Aurora, Colo., got into a fight away from school grounds, and it was uploaded to the app Music.ly. Ashawntyβs mother, Latoshia Harris, said that her daughter was confronting the bully when the fight occurred, and it became fodder on the app.
