Mallory Grossman's Parents Discuss Bullying On 'Megyn Kelly Today' Show

ROCKAWAY, NJ — Mallory Grossman's parents are continuing their anti-bullying efforts and appeared on "Megyn Kelly Today" to discuss National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month.

Grossman, a 12-year-old Rockaway girl, died by suicide after horrific bullying, parents Seth and Dianne said. They told host Megyn Kelly the bullying was primarily humiliation and exclusion, and the alleged bullies had encouraged Mallory to kill herself.

Dianne Grossman has said repeatedly the school did not do enough to address the bullying and told Kelly administrators instructed Mallory to "hug it out" with the bullies.

Although Mallory "felt defeated" and like no one was listening to her, Grossman said there were none of the traditional warning signs she was suicidal.

"That's what's actually the scariest, I think, for us, is that there were no signs," Dianne Grossman said.

Grossman also said she would like to see the alleged bullies held accountable and that they need to "understand the magnitude of what they did." She called for the girls to "spend the rest of their lives (doing) community service to really understand, and they should dedicate their lives just as we've done."

The Grossmans have not ruled out including the alleged bullies and their families in their lawsuit, attorney Bruce Nagel said in August.

Rockaway school officials have denied accusations they did not take the matter seriously but have been tight lipped on what efforts they did take, citing the lawsuit filed by the Grossman family.
