Kelaia suffered from extensive bullying at school for over a year, which culminated in a suicide attempt that led to severe brain damage, rendering her nonverbal.
Christine Crawford highlights the alarming rise in suicide rates among young people, especially young children of color, pointing out the unique stressors they face that remain largely unrecognized.
Ty Turner, Kelaia's mother, emphasizes society's desensitization to bullying and the long-lasting impact it has on children, stressing the need for accountability in addressing mental health.
The Turner family's lawsuit claims that school officials were complicit in the bullying and that the bullying continued even after Kelaia's hospital recovery when her alleged bullies shared pictures of her on social media.
