Dismissal was early and a bit chaotic that day, and the district said it would not permit further rallies without prior administrative approval, citing its concern for the "health, safety and well-being for all students." It depends on the severity of the charges," Parlapanides said. In another attack from the same year, the victim again had to be transferred out afterward. Michael Kuch unleashed his own social media messaging, saying he took Adriana Kuch to the cops right after the incident. While authorities have not publicly connected the attack video post to Kuch's death, her father Michael has. She is then set upon by at least two people, the video shows, slammed into school lockers and surrounded by what is now a trio of attackers. The three classmates, backpacks swinging, fall over themselves a bit near the lockers, almost stepping on Kuch as she crawls around on the floor, trying to collect herself. The violent attack continues for another few seconds before two adults run into the video frame and pull the attackers off Kuch. The office also suggested the district work on programming and services for the students.
