Three girls charged in Delaware school bathroom death





                                                             (The school of where the incident took place)


Three high school girls have been charged with the death of a 16 year old girl in a bathroom fight last month. One girl was charged with criminally negligent homicide and the two others were charged with criminal conspiracy. Allegedly, the fight happened because a boy that one of the girls liked liked Amy, the assaulted girl and him and her had been talking. The suspect was jealous about that and wanted to fight Amy. While in the washroom, the girls confronted Amy which lead to a fight between Amy and the suspect when the suspects friends started jumping in. Amy hit her head on the sink and was knocked unconscious. After the incident students aid that they saw a lot of blood in the washroom. One police officer said that Amy's chest was caved in so bad. Amy died from sudden cardiac death, the medical examiner's said. Amy had a pre-existing heart condition but officials said "the cardiac incident would not have occurred is she had not been assaulted. People who attend the school and parents are still shocked by this incident.


Me being a 16 year old in high school im shocked. In my opinion it should never be that serious to fight a girl over a boy. This just shows not even in schools are people safe. Parents shouldnt have to worry about if there child is safe or not during school hours. The girls that did that are just ruthless.  R.I.P Amy <3
