Teenage Girl Dies From Extensive Brain Damage Due To Hitting Her Head During A Fight In High School Bathroom

A California teen girl died from injuries she sustained during a fight with a bully inside a bathroom that was caught on camera at a Los Angeles-area high school earlier this month, her mother has claimed.

Shaylee Mejia, 16, suffered a fatal brain hemorrhage that was reportedly linked to several severe fights she was involved in at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles, her anguished mother, Maria Juarez, told KTLA.

Amid the fatal physical altercation on March 5, Mejia was seen hitting her head on a bathroom stall before falling to the floor. Mejia complained about a headache but still attended classes for several days, her mother said.

4 days after the fight, Mejia attended a party where she fainted and a friend rushed her to the hospital.She remained unconscious until her death on March 15.Doctors say Mejia suffered a fatal hemorrhage resulting from a brain injury, according to the outlet.

Juarez, a single mom of two, claimed Mejia often returned home covered in bruises after she enrolled at the public school in south LA eight months ago.

The distraught mother allegedly took pictures and documented her daughter’s injuries to report them to school officials and campus police, but her pleas for help reportedly went unheard, according to KTLA.

“So her mother didn’t take her to the hospital? Maria, let her walk around with a “headache” for 4 days??!?? BECAUSE it isn’t clear in the text if she told her mother that she was in the fight and hit her head on a bathroom stall,” someone commented.

“The school board should fire each and every school official, who ignored the severity of this matter. At least she has photos of the bruises that were obtained in the previous altercations,” the person added.

Praying for the families, may her soul RIP!
