Jada West, the Douglas County child, passed away Sunday after spending several days in the intensive care unit following an altercation that reportedly began Thursday at Mason Creek Middle School and continued during the bus ride home.
In a lengthy Facebook statement, Jada’s aunt, De’Quala McClendon, described the moments leading up to the incident and urged people to share the video circulating online.
“Please please everyone share this post…this is the hardest thing I have to write, post, and share,” McClendon wrote.
According to McClendon, Jada had gotten into an argument on the bus with a girl she did not know, but who had allegedly been having issues with her since the family moved into the neighborhood. A video shared by relatives shows Jada getting off the bus and questioning why other students were following her.
“In this video you will hear her say she doesn’t want to fight… she will ask why is everyone getting off the bus,” McClendon wrote, adding that Jada could also be heard asking the other girl if she wanted to fight “because of noise.”
McClendon also alleged that an adult present during the situation failed to intervene before the fight escalated.
According to the family, Jada collapsed before she could make it home and was rushed to a children’s hospital in Atlanta, where doctors reportedly told relatives she was possibly brain-dead. She has since passed away.
The children involved should be punished severely. This Bullying should be stopped. Immediately. Our children go to school to learn not to fight. Our children should be comfortable at school not worried about being beat up or bullied. Let this be an example and a warning to the girls that want to bully other girls are young boys. They want to bully other boys! stay at home with your parents or go to jail! this is assault. Keep your hands to yourself. Every child has a right to a good education.
My condolences to the family, you are in my. Prayers. This so sad. I hope who ever has anything to do with this gets a full punishment to the extreme. .
In the mighty name of Jesus.
May Jada RIP and the family find justice. In the mighty name of Jesus. Sending prayers of comfort to the family of Jada. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤.
