Dr. Phil (2002)

21x26 Bullied to Death

It used to be that if you were a child being bullied at school, once you walked over the threshold of your home, there would be a "reprieve" until you walked into school the next day. But times have changed. Teens, tweens, and those even younger are being bullied from every angle because, with the internet and the prevalence of social media, there are always ways to target a victim – oftentimes anonymously. And if a bullied teen does disconnect their devices, bullies can always use old-fashioned, in-person harassment. It seems there's no escape. Meet Antoinette, whose 13-year-old daughter, Muffin, took her own life after being bullied by children at her school. When not in school, Antoinette says they continued the bullying online, creating fake online pages and talking about Muffin's appearance. On the Saturday morning of Muffin's death, Antoinette went to the store only to return to every parent's worst nightmare.
