Posted Ava’s mom, Brandy Clint Little on February 28th: ‘If you know anything about Ava Little being bullied, or if your child has faced bullying that was ignored, I’m asking you to please come forward. Our children deserve protection, support, and accountability. This has to stop. I will not stop fighting for justice for my daughter. Talk to your children.’ 

Responded one commentator, ‘I reported to the school weeks ago that she told my son she was planning this. He is very sad. Please accept my sincere condolences. My heart goes out to you and your family.’

A post shared on social media alluded to the bullying taking place online.

Posted Katy Holder in part, This tragedy is also a heartbreaking reminder of how serious bullying is. Actions and words matter. The things kids say and do especially online matter more than we sometimes realize. Bullying can leave deep scars that aren’t always visible.

‘Please talk to your kids. Talk to them about kindness. Talk to them about inclusion.

Talk to them about standing up for others. Talk to them about using their voice to build people up instead of tearing them down. We have to do better for our children. We have to create spaces where they feel safe, valued, and loved.’
