Sheriff Who Arrested Pre-Teen, Teenage Girl in Suicide Death of 12-Year-Old Girl Considering Charging Parents Too

Sheriff says parents are in total denial, not being responsible

The sheriff who arrested two girls for allegedly bullying a 12-year-old into committing suicide says authorities are trying to decide whether they can also charge one of the suspect's parents.

The pair — ages 12 and 14 — were arrested Monday and charged with third-degree felony aggravated stalking in connection with the death of Rebecca Sedwick, of Lakeland, Fla., who jumped from a cement factory tower Sept. 9.
