Had the teachers prevented this girl from leaving to go to the bathroom as she claimed,this same mother and lawyer would sue them for kidnapping and assault plus battery.

so if you'd cheated on your spouse, you should be prevented from using the washroom?

Its the truth, I'm not playing emotional stuff...

do you know the things the teacher would have said to the girl
do you know what she was going through at home and at school

she died because of what she was going through.... stop commenting out of ignorance, you obviously haven't seen anyone who is suffering from depression... none of your relatives or close friends have suffered from depression so shut the f*ck up...

My friend, I've been thru enough life experiences to know what depression is.
For the most part, it comes from being too into one's self. The only cure to depression is to think more of others and focus on expressing love.
There is enough melancholia to go around in this life.

She showed no love to her parents for the sacrifices they made to get her where she is, and she showed none to her future family, who she has now denied the joy of having her as a wife and mother.

This happened a while ago
What is she suing for?
Will it bring her daughter back
Why are people always looking to blame others
The girl had psychiatric problems and had attempted suicide before
She doesn't need to blame anyone or try to make money out of her grief

They knew she had problems and you didn't?
If the school didn't take care of it,how about you,who should be more concerned about her health?
Aren't you her mother?

Well said!

The woman is a complete lunatic.

You guys don't understand. She is just a child, she probably doesn't know how wrong it is. Its a medical disease just like depression.

If she was a white kid, the handling would have been better. No one supports cheating, but we all don't know the history of this girl - if she's been abused or not...

May we not have such a child in Jesus name.

What made you say if it was a white kid, the handling would have been better?

Is it a joke or something?

You take out your cellphone during exams, you are out. Simple! There is no need to verify anything. The use of cellphones during exams is forbidden.

In Germany, when a student does not put his cellphone on the teacher's desk before the exam and the teacher finds out, he leaves the examination hall. Bye bye, you are out, failed. Go home.

Logical!

Not a joke o
She has turned to Americans that find someone to blame in order to profit out of misery
She is most likely a single mother
I suspect a husband would have been able to squash the foolishness,two people cannot be foolish simultaneously
Someone told her she could make millions out of this and she ran with it
Remember many of these lawyers take on these cases on contingency
The plaintiff usually doesn't pay a dime till it settles and they take 30% of the claim
If she had to hire a lawyer and pay an hourly rate or daily rate to be represented,she wouldn't attempt this
If it had been a hot dog seller or lunatic that yelled at her,do you think he will be sued?
No lawyer will even take the case
But here there is an established top notch school and a school system they want to milk and they decided to give it a shot

I suspect the lawyer contacted her and she jumped to it

Dude, the girl is not an adult and she has mental health issues.

My heart goes out to the poor girl, she was under intense pressure from her mother to do well at school and I think she must have suffered a nervous breakdown due to all of the pressure piled on her.

If anyone is to blame its the mother, stop pushing your children to fufil dreams that you failed to achieve yourself, leave them to be who they want to be or else you will get rebellion in the form of suicide, hatred or even attack on you the parent. The mother needs to look inward instead of blaming outsiders, the young girl was gifted but couldn't cope with the huge expectations heaped on her shoulders.

If I was the judge, I would destroy her without a shadow of doubt. She would live the rest of her life in debt.

your knowledge of depression is pre-depression signs not full blown depression where the patient will need medication..

It has nothing to do with being a single mother.

But if her daughter suffered from severe depression and was suicidal then she should not have taken any exams at all.
She should be in a clinic. Her mother should blame herself.

I am no lawyer but then again. Is there something/anything the school could have done to intervene
We know school reports child abuse and other things not right to the police/hospital.

What a pity! This poor girl was battling depression or some serious spectrum disorder. I think we don't have d full story but the mother partly shares d blame......she's aware of her daughter's condition n d girl should have been placed under some form of controlled learning conditions. If d school knows of her condition, then d instructor is liable......when she caught d girl cheating, she should have involved d school counsellor, given her condition. But this is rhetoric as d girl is dead. What are d lessons learnt from this unfortunate episode?

The school will probably make an offer to settle out of court before trial. This is often what happens. The mother will get a few hundred thousand dollars to make the case go away.
Re: Nigerian Girl Commits Suicide In New York by Nobody: 8:18pm On Nov 15, 2014
So the school is now to be blamed for her cheating? And also her suicide?

Involved the school counsellor with students in an exam hall?

I doubt if this case was going to end there had she not killed herself
She would have had serious repercussions which could include being thrown out of the school for good
Cheating is a very serious thing in the USA
It can get you fired instantly from a job and school
She turned in her paper and excused herself to the bathroom and never came back
Next thing she had jumped into the Hudson
Where was the opportunity to address this?

You country of residence should be sued for her death.

Or is it not because of your country of residence language she tried to cheat and triggered the whole thing?

Bloody hard language. I have been trying to learn the shyt for years with all their die, der, das (all just to say "the"wink and then Sie, sie, ihre that does not translate directly to an English sentence to the point I am suicidal too.
