A mother in Buffalo, NY has received support from a group of individuals as she grieves the loss of her daughter. Sarena Worthy reveals that her daughter tragically took her own life due to relentless bullying at school.
Desire Williams, the daughter of Worthy, was a victim of sexual assault by a fellow student in 2022. The incident was further aggravated by the fact that the assault was recorded and shared. Worthy emphasizes that Desire has always been an industrious and ambitious individual, even from a young age when she used to run a lemonade stand. She has successfully managed multiple businesses and is known for her loving, caring, and genuine nature. Worthy describes her daughter as an angel on Earth.
According to another parent, the student who assaulted Williams also targeted other girls, referring to the perpetrator as a monster.
Jammell Brooks Jones believes that the issue lies in the fact that when individuals assert themselves, it tends to be met with resistance. According to Jones, there is a need for more support systems within the school. She emphasizes the importance of teachers enrolling students who genuinely care about the well-being of these children. Jones further asserts that the school has violated the law by failing to address incidents of bullying, a matter she is personally familiar with as she has experienced bullying herself.
A GoFundMe campaign has been set up to support Worthy and her family.
