COLUMBUS -- A central Ohio mother says her eight-year-old daughter overdosed on prescription pills after being bullied.
Michelle Koch says her little girl had been subjected to harsh bullying at Dana Elementary School since last year.
"She said kids were calling her fat and ugly," Koch said. "One girl called her a fat twinkie, and it really seemed to tear her up inside. It was really affecting her."
Koch says her daughter eventually resorted to desperate measures to avoid the bullying.
"My daughter took an overdose of her sister's meds because she didn't want to go to school," Koch said. "We spent hours in the ER at Children's at the trauma center."
The little girl spent approximately a week in the hospital. Her family did not know if she'd make it out alive.
"We almost lost her," Koch said. "She was that adamant about not going to school that she went to that extreme so she wouldn't have to go."
Dana Elementary and Columbus City Schools are on spring break, and did not respond to a comment request from ABC 6/FOX 28.
Koch says her daughter will not be returning to Dana Elementary. She says she's now concerned with other children who may be receiving similar treatment from bullies.
"It just it really hurts. How many other kids are going through this? How many kids are gonna have to die before something is done?"
Tis' be sad. |

Kids nowadays have no backbones.
Nobody complained about bullying when I was 8.
And that's coming from someone who was "bullied." |

Just making sure you know I was being sarcastic and your story is crap.
I'd like to hear what 'bullying' you endured. |

| Legalized, do you know how common it is for kids to get bullied? Until you find out, don't post useless crap sarcasm. |

Mage, everyone is bullied. Why are you criticizing bullying victims is you say you had worse experiences, which clearly you haven't.
Thepitt, I'm well aware of bullying, and like most people, am a victim of it. Or use to be. I'm not posting "useless crap sarcasm", you're obviously butthurt at me for some reason. Grow up, keep your rage to yoursslf, don't drag from thread to thread.

Your sarcasm showed that you didn't believe he was bullied.
Also, I'm clearly butthurt because I disagree with you. HECK, anyone who disagrees with you is raging and butthurt! |

Please point to where I said "People need to stop complaining about bullying, I was bullied worse than they were and I didn't complain!"
And if you point to what I just posted I will eat you alive. |

Because I DIDN'T. He even said his experience was mere teasing.
"Also, I'm clearly butthurt because I disagree with you. HECK, anyone who disagrees with you is raging and butthurt!"
You called my post "useless crap sarcasm", and now you're (yet again) trying to make me look arrogant. For allah's sake just stop already, you're not getting anywhere by flinging insults.

Mage, you said kids today have no backbones, claimed you were 'bullied', and said that your experience was just name calling.
Why are you accusing today's youth of lacking a backbone? |

Because when people were bullied back in my day *nostalgia* no one tried to OD on tylenol because of it.
We just stuck with our group of friends and ignored the bullies?
Not very hard to do. |
