The parents of 10-year-old Autumn Bushman have shared their heartbreak following their daughter’s death, hoping to raise awareness of warning signs they noticed beforehand. They said Autumn, once energetic and cheerful, began sleeping more, smiling less, and wearing darker clothing in the weeks before her death. According to her family, she experienced bullying at school and on social media despite their concerns being reported. School officials expressed condolences and said they are reviewing the situation while emphasizing that bullying reports are taken seriously. Autumn’s mother now encourages parents to stay involved in their children’s lives and watch for behavioral changes.
