Vermont girl, 14, kills herself after relentless bullying at school over mom’s heath issues
A Vermont girl, 14, died by suicide after allegedly being relentlessly bullied at school over her mother’s heath issues. Isabelle Vezina-Dykeman’s mom underwent a brain surgery that reportedly left her with a shuttered eye.
Isabelle was a freshman at the Mill School in Winooski, which is an alternative high school for students with complex needs. “She was excited about the school year, excited about being a freshman,” her mother, Heather Miller, told WCAX. Heather described her daughter as a “spunky” teen who “loved to dance” and ice skate.
‘Devastated by the loss’
Heather said Isabelle faced constant bullying at school, with text messages teasing her about how her mother looks.When she returned from school on September 15, visibly upset, Heather decided to give her some space. “I thought I was doing the right thing, but in 35 minutes, our whole lives changed,” Heather said.
That night, Isabelle killed herself. The Mill School said that it is now investigating Heather’s claims of bullying.
“We, at the Mill School, have been devastated by the loss of one of our students,” the school said in a statement. “We are working with the appropriate agencies and continue to provide counseling support.”
Heather revealed that her daughter’s organs, which were donated, helped save the lives of seven people. Another child received her eyes.
This incident comes months after a 10-year-old Indiana boy killed himself after being bullied at school for several days. Sammy Teusch’s family alleged thatthey complained to the school at least 20 times last year. Sammy’s family insisted that the school knew their son was being bullied, with his father saying, “They knew this was going on. They knew this was going on.”

The New England Patriots aren’t Vermont’s favorite NFL team, study says. Here’s who is
Julian Edelman believes Pats are primed for success after Week 1 win
Former Patriots WR Julian Edelman explains how New England’s Week 1 win versus the Bengals are going to set them up for success moving forward.
Sports Seriously
You’d think Vermonters would root for the New England Patriots since they’re part of the region the team is named after.
A new report says that Vermont sports fans actually favor the New York Giants over the Patriots.
A report by the sports betting company BetMGM studying states’ most popular NFL teams found that both Connecticut and Vermont’s search data show that the Giants are more popular than the Patriots.
“For the most part, states show the strongest support for their home teams, but there are two notable exceptions where this isn’t the case. Ironically, the New England Patriots have some turncoats,” the report said.
BetMGM came to this conclusion by analyzing Google Trends data.
So, if the findings of this report are accurate, why would the Giants be more popular in Vermont and Connecticut than the Patriots?
Well, one reason may be geography. Vermont and Connecticut both border New York, so it makes sense that people in those states would gravitate toward a New York team.
But using that logic, Massachusetts could also favor the Giants because Massachusetts also borders New York.
While that it is true, the Patriots have Massachusetts roots, as they were originally named the Boston Patriots during its years in the American Football League. That changed in 1971 when they became an NFL team, moved into their Foxboro stadium and became the New England Patriots, according to ESPN.
Another reason why some Vermonters may cheer the Giants over the Patriots might be because the Giants used to train in Vermont.
The Giants trained at St. Michael’s College in Colchester during the summers from 1956 to 1960. They would stay in dormitories on the campus and practice on turf behind what are now the Alumni Hall and Lyons Hall dorm buildings.
That may explain the affection for the New York team.
