School superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides tried to deflect blame away from his department following the tragedy. Before I say anything further, I would like to point out that Mr. Parlapanides has been an employee of the school district for the past 8 years and is the highest paid faculty member in the entire district. As the victim, Adriana Kuch’s father stated to Daily Mail news, the superintendent refused to suspend any of the bullies because it would have been a major loss in revenue for the school and he went on to say, “He said: 'If my daughter is only worth $23,000 a head to them then because they would lose four students then what is anybody’s kid worth.“ The poor guy makes a valid point and we all know it! Please allow me to remind you that Mr. Parlapanides, the HIGHEST paid faculty member, was obviously more concerned about MONEY then this little girls safety and well-being. When we send our kids to school, unfortunately our biggest fear has become school shooters but why do we still push the issue of bullying under the rug?!?! Will THIS finally be the wake up call that America needs to realize the bullying is and always has been an issue. It’s not just a thing that just starting happening recently. No, it’s the fact that we have this thing called the internet now. What’s even more sickening and horrifying is that it’s the bullies themselves that are broadcasting this to the world! ….and I’m sure they think, well why not? They don’t get disciplined for it and IF they do, it’s only because too much negative  attention was brought to their attention and now that Central Regional HS has made national news, NOW and ONLY now, are charges being brought up against 4 of the teenage “girls” bullies. The 4 bullies were initially charged with third-degree assault charges and 1 other bully was also charged with disorderly conduct after they were also suspended indefinitely from school. So now they all get to stay home and sit behind their computers, laptops and phones all day long while their parents work and they will continue to bully other kids and nothing will be done about it. You know why? Because by then, the media and the public will lose interest and with no one paying attention…. I don’t even have to continue because it’s we all know what’s going to happen. So suspending them indefinitely is NOT the answer. Put them in some sort of boot camp or something! Make them FEEL like they’re at least being punished for this! Because yes, Adriana’s suicide is absolutely 100% a result of them bullying her, beating her in the most disgusting, cruel and horrific way and they need to be held responsible and not only is Adriana Kuch’s blood in their hands but is absolutely 10000% on superintendent Triantafillos Parlapanides hands. 

Adriana Kuch was found dead in her home in Bayville on February 3, only 3 days after a horrific video spread online showing her being maliciously attacked by these 4 bullies in the hallways of Central Regional High School. Instead of Mr. Parlapanides addressing the loss of this poor child to the media and/or offering any type of counseling to the other students of the school, he went on to basically do a smear campaign against this young girl and her family! Yes, you read that right! Why? That’s easy to answer. Just re-read the beginning of this petition where I pointed out twice, the obvious, and so did Adriana’s father… MONEY. He went on to literally trash talk a minor and claims of drug abuse and infidelity between her parents. I AM IN UTTER DISBELIEF! Even if any of it is true or not… WHO CARES!?!? What does any of that have to do with what happened to Ms. Kuch that day in his school where he should’ve protected her! What does Ms. Kuch private life and her family and what went on behind closed doors in her personal life have ANYTHING to do with why he did not protect that child. Once Adriana Kuch stepped onto the property of Central Regional High School, her safety was Mr. Parlapanides responsibility and he did nothing to help her, protect her or save her and not only should he be fired from this school district but he should not be allowed any retirement pay and most importantly, charges should be brought against him as well!!! I’m not sure what type of murder charges (manslaughter, murder in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, negligent homicide, etc…) are in New Jersey or how it works there but I think it’s safe to say that Mr. Triantafillos Parlapanides should not only be fired but should be arrested and charged with negligent homicide.

However, this petition is meant specifically for Mr. Parlapanides to be FIRED from Central Regional High School effective immediately amd the reason is because he failed to do his job and that is protect the children that he is responsible for. That 20 second video (and however long it went on when it wasn’t being recorded) should have NEVER happened but yet it did and that’s because of Mr. Parlapanides. PLEASE sign this petition if you agree with me. Even if you don’t believe he should be arrested, this petition, as I already stated, is specifically for this money hungry neglectful superintendent should NO LONGER hold the title of superintendent and be fired NOW.

To Mr. Michael Kuch, I’m so sorry you lost your daughter and I’m even more sorry that you can’t even have a funeral for her tomorrow. You are being deprived of so much right now and you right, he IS a piece of *^%# and I can only hope and pray you and Adriana get the justice you both deserve. I am rooting for you and if no one signs this petition, please know that you at least have one person in your corner and that’s me. 

Last but not least, I also hope and pray that if ANYTHING positive could even come out of this, is that maybe… just MAYBE this will bring more awareness to this horrible thing called BULLYING that goes on every day in every school in America… yet for some reason, hardly anything is ever done about it. Adriana Kuch’s blood is on Mr. Triantafillos Parlapanides hands and THAT is something that should never happen again.
