Still reeling from the sudden death of her 10-year-old daughter, a South Carolina mom said she complained about her child being bullied multiple times before she died after a fight with a classmate at school.
Raniya Wright, a fifth-grader at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro, South Carolina, died two days after getting into a fight with a another fifth-grade girl who Raniya's mother, Ashley Wright, said she'd complained about "numerous times."
"I'm very upset with the school system, starting out, only because of the fact that I've been complaining about the person that she fought numerous times to them," Wright said in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" airing Monday. "That's what really breaks me down and makes me question to myself why nothing was never done up until now with this happening.
"I'm thinking they got it handled, and they failed me."
Paramedics said Raniya was unconscious on March 25 when they found her inside the school nurse's offices and transported her to a local hospital. Her condition was so severe that she was airlifted to another hospital nearly 50 miles away in Charleston, where she died two days later.
A student was suspended after the altercation and the school said it plans to release more information when the Colleton County Sheriff’s Office completes its investigation. Police said no weapons were used in the fight.

Things still haven't changed. When I was in school I was also bullied and no matter how many times my parents went up to the school, nothing changed. I truly feel for this family and they did fail Raniya. I'm also surprised that no charges still haven't been filed, as they should be. I don't think suspension is enough for such a brutal attack that resulted in death.
