An 11-year-old girl in Texas killed herself earlier this month after a prolonged period of bullying about her family’s immigration status, her mother says.

On Feb. 3, Jocelynn Rojo Carranza fatally injured herself at her home in Gainesville, a small city located just a few miles south of the Oklahoma border.

The girl’s condition seemed to wax and wane for a while, as doctors made changes to her regimen at an intensive care unit in a Dallas hospital, according to a GoFundMe started by her father when she was still alive. But Jocelynn slowly died over the following days — finally succumbing to her injuries on Feb. 8.
