'Humiliated' New Jersey teenager Adriana Kuch killed herself after being taunted with texts from the bullies who beat her in the school halls, her father has told. Adriana, 14, took her own life in her bedroom at her family home in Berkeley Township, New Jersey, on February 3. Hours beforehand, she had received a taunting message from one of the girls who filmed the attack, making fun of her for 'dripping' blood on the floor, and being 'whooped'. The messages were relentless, starting on February 1st - after the 11am attack - and lasting until February 2nd at around 3pm, the day before she killed herself. At 10.46pm on February 2nd, Adriana texted her boyfriend complaining about having to go back to school. She was found dead at 5am on February 3rd. Four teenage girls have now been charged over the attack, which left Adriana with a busted lip and severely bruised legs. DailyMail.com is not naming the girls, who are all minors. Michael Kuch, Adriana's father, says the beating was instigated by one of the girls, who was jealous about Adriana's friendship with another girl. What drove her to kill herself, he says, is the fact that she was 'embarrassed' about the fast-spreading videos of the attack on TikTok and Snapchat. 'She was so embarrassed that they jumped her. She would say, "I don't want to be made fun of." 'It was like she was attacked twice. 'It used to be you'd go to school, get bullied and then you left. 'But now you come home and you keep getting bullied - they still keep picking at you home.' He has also slammed the school - Central Regional High School - for neither expelling the bullies or calling the police after the attack. An investigation was only launched by the authorities after he took Adriana to a police station with a bloodied, battered face. 'I can't begin to tell you how angry I am at the school, at the police department... if those videos hadn't been posted, these girls would have ended up with a one day suspension or in no trouble at all. 'The [school] has done nothing. They should not be in charge of our children's safety.' Mr. Kuch is also 'sickened' by the fact that as he and his wife prepare to bury Adriana, the school superintendent, Triantafillos Parlapanides, is defending himself on social media, writing in one post just yesterday - almost a week after Adriana's suicide: 'There are two sides to every story'. Mr. Kuch, who served 22 years in the US Army, is calling for all of the staff at the school to be fired. 'You trust these people to keep your children safe but they are failing. 'They need to go. 'As I'm getting ready for my daughter's funeral, he's posting online saying "there are two sides to every story?" 'It makes me sick. There's one side. She was assaulted.' The school superintendent's office did not immediately respond to inquiries about the post. The attack occurred on February 1st. Adriana was walking down the hall with her boyfriend when she was jumped. Two of the girls filmed the attack - including the one whom Mr. Kuch says was the 'instigator', while another two did the beating. At one point, Adriana was smacked in the face with a filled-up 20z water bottle, her father says. Some teachers eventually rushed in to break up the beating, but Adriana had by that point 'blacked out', her father says. She later called him in tears, telling him she'd been attacked. He rushed to the school and was horrified when staff said they had neither called the police nor had they thought to take Adriana to a doctor. 'All they'd done was taken her to the school nurse,' he said. He asked why the girls weren't immediately expelled, and says he was told by school staff that it's not their 'policy'. Mr. Kuch says he got the same response when he asked the teachers why no one had called police. 'If they had only just called the police and the girls would have been rounded up there and then, everybody would have seen it was wrong. 'It pains me how easily this all could have been solved,' he said. Instead, he took Adriana to the police station to file a report. But he says they too dragged their feet. He had to supply them with videos of the incident that had started spreading on social media. 'I feel like I've had to do all of the investigating. I'm doing everyone's job while grieving,' he said. The day after the beating, Adriana stayed home from school. She lived with her father, stepmother, 16-year-old brother and two stepsisters. Her mother tragically died when she was seven. 'Her father says the school staff told her to, because they didn't want bullies to mock her swelling or bruising. 'We spent time together... she decided that she wanted to go back to school the next day. 'She went to her boyfriend's house during the day. I got home at around 5 o'clock. 'We had McDonald's and I got her her favorite - the crispy chicken sandwich. #breakingstory​ #karma​ #news​ #police​ #policeactivy​
