An 11-year-old girl in Texas reportedly took her own life this month after classmates harassed her about her family’s immigration status.

Jocelynn Carranza died on February 8, three days after she tried to kill herself at her Gainesville home. According to the Latin Times, officials at Gainesville Intermediate School never notified Carranza’s family that students were tormenting her about being left alone when her parents got deported.

Officials allegedly also never told Carranza’s family that the bullying became so severe that Carranza was seeing the school counselor once to twice a week.

“It appears the school was aware of it all, but they never, they never told me what was happening with my daughter,” her mother told KUVN.

The Gainesville Independent School District Police are reportedly investigating the bullying allegations, but school officials would not disclose whether they were aware of any bullying.

“Whenever we receive a report of bullying, we respond swiftly to ensure all students are safe physically and emotionally. While we cannot release any information about specific students or incidents, our schools have several policies in place to combat bullying and resolve conflicts,” the district said in a statement to CNN.

Carranza’s funeral was on Wednesday.
