It still gives me the chills driving by the old abandoned cement plant. I wished it did not happen but it did and it felt like a loss in the family. It was big news in the community and having a 12 year old myself it hurt even more. Rebecca Ann Sedwick suppose to go to the school bus stop to get picked up to go to school but she had another thing in her mind and that was the thought of committing suicide. Product of the constant cyber bullying happening in the social media sights she visited. A year before she was bullied at school by as much as 15 other girls prompting the authorities to do an investigation but finally her mother took her out of the school and deleted her facebook account. She began going to another school but somehow her bullies found a way to find her online. Questions still remain on how they were able to find her or was she trying to be accepted by the group. Upon confiscation of the computer and phone used by the girl- messages were found of torment including one that said: Why don't you kill yourself. What sadistic and evil these girls have become. Here is a picture of where I stopped by on early Saturday to see the place where it all happen. I saw posters, balloons, flowers etc and the towers where Rebecca jumped from into the void. She had to have died on impact. Now every time I drive by 92 I see the towers and think of Rebecca and her ordeal. Her mother lives less than a mile away.
