Documents: Bullied teen sought help from school
Phoebe Prince
The documents  filed in connection with charges against six South Hadley High School students  raise new questions about how much school officials knew about the bullying. They also provide a glimpse into the final  tortured hours of Phoebe Prince's life shortly before the 15-year-old hanged herself at home Jan. 14.
 On Jan. 7  according to the documents  Prince went to a school administrator after learning that one of the defendants  Flannery Mullins  had told fellow students that she was going to "beat Phoebe up" and that she "needed to watch out at break after second block."
 The documents do not reveal the official to whom Prince spoke or provide details of the conversation.
 A witness who was interviewed by investigators said Prince had gone to administrators because she was "scared and wanted to go home." After the meeting  the witness said Prince returned to class  and said that no action was going to be taken and that "she was still going to get beat up."
 In a recent interview  Superintendent Gus Sayer said school administrators were not aware of the bullying until Jan. 7  a week before Prince committed suicide. On that day  two teachers reported separate bullying incidents to the principal  Sayer said.
 Prosecutors said Prince endured months of verbal assaults and threats after she briefly dated a popular boy. She was harassed mostly in school  but also on Facebook and through other electronic forms.
 The documents detail in length the final 24 hours of the girl's life. On Jan. 13  Prince told a confidant that school "has been close to intolerable lately."
 On the day of her death  according to the documents  Prince was in the school library at the same time as three of the charged teens -- Sean Mulveyhill  Kayla Narey and Ashley Longe. Witnesses told investigators that Prince was subjected to crude sexual taunts from Longe  including "whore" and "Irish slut."
 At the end of the school day Jan. 14  witnesses said Prince was again subjected to verbal abuse as she walked out of the building. After Prince had left school grounds  a witness said Longe  as she rode by in a friend's car  threw an empty beverage can at Prince and started laughing.
 According to the documents  Prince was crying as she walked home. Investigators said she exchanged several text messages with a friend about two hours before her death  in which she discussed the verbal abuse she had received that day and the ongoing taunts.
 Later in the day  Prince's body was found hanging in a rear stairwell of her family's apartment.
