Two 12-year-old boys were accused of cyber-bullying one of their classmates until she ended her life.

Police in Panama City Beach, Florida, announced through a press release that the children were detained for the death of Gabriella Green, also 12, who took her life on January 10. So far the authorities have not disclosed the names of the suspects since they are minors.

According to the report, after receiving several bullying messages, Green hanged himself on a dog leash in a closet at his home in Glades.

During the investigation, the police examined cell phones and accounts on social networks and it was thus that they set eyes on two of their classmates, who with the premise of their parents were interviewed. "During their interview, both children confessed that they harassed Green, and they knew that they are his conduct, they would cause anguish to her", the authorities said in the statement.

In it, they also stated that cyber bullying was not the only cause that led Green to kill himself. "The investigation only revealed that cyberbullying was occurring at the time of his death," they sentenced.

One of the detained youths stated that he started Green's rumors in person and online. For his part, the other suspect told authorities that he exchanged messages with Green where she confessed that she had tried to kill herself and that she already had marks on her neck and that he replied that if she was going to do it, just do it and then the call ended. However, after a short time he regretted, "and started calling and texting her, but did not receive a response."

According to information from the Panama City News Herald, so far, the official cause of the child's death has not been disclosed. Her mother Tanya Green has only said that the arrests were a success, but she was devastated because her daughter suffered in silence with a smile on her face.
