Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez Wiki – Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez Biography

NEW JERSEY: On February 6, an 11-year-old New Jersey girl named Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez committed suicide in her school bathroom, just days after her father’s death from pancreatic cancer. Felicia’s father, Alexis Melendez, worked as a detective with the New Jersey Transit Police department. Around the same time, her mother, Elaina LoAlbo, said Felicia had emailed school officials to tell them that she and her friends were being harassed.

According to a report, another student found Felicia unconscious inside a bathroom around 1 p.m. at the F W Holbein School in Mount Holly. The student was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and then transferred to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where she was pronounced dead on February 8, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.

An autopsy conducted by the Philadelphia Office of the Medical Examiner determined that Felicia died by suicide. “An investigation into the death of the student by the Burlington County District Attorney’s Office, which included a review of school surveillance cameras, determined that she was alone in the bathroom when this tragic action occurred,” NJ reported.

Felicia LoAlbo-Melendez cause of death

According to her mother, Elaina LoAlbo, Felicia had written numerous emails to the school administration detailing the bullying events she and her friends faced. However, she never questioned anyone. “They have swept the bullying that she and so many other children at that school have experienced under the rug, and now they are doing the same with this investigation,” LoAlbo said.

A month before her death, Felicia suggested that the school launch a “trauma club” in an email to officials. The club would be a safe space where students could talk about stressors. “I for one have heard from my friends and others about things that have happened to them, and I think this would be a fantastic thing,” Felicia wrote on Facebook.

In a tribute to her daughter on February 24, LoAlbo stated: “Felicia was a shining light that touched so many people: she was an old soul, wise beyond her short 11 years. Unfortunately, Felicia’s happy-go-lucky attitude wasn’t enough to fight the relentless bullying she battled within the walls of our school.” Felicia’s mother also shared a chilling voicemail that Felicia left in 2021. In the message, Felicia read, “Say hello to the mom-to-be, to the dad-to-be… to everyone’s future. Never, ever, ever be mean, never give up on your friends, never, ever… be a bully.”

During a March 15 school board meeting, Seth Turner said that his daughter was a close friend of Felicia’s and that before her death, “my daughter confided in me that other members of her class were harassing Felicia. I was unable to relay this information to any teachers or staff in time for anything to be done, and I need to apologize for this.”

“While no response to the death of an 11-year-old girl can truly be adequate, our response to this tragedy so far has been pathetic. Felicia deserves better. She deserves a full investigation, she deserves full accountability, and she deserves the truth, and I hope we can give it to her,” Turner added, according to NJ 101.5. A Change.org petition launched by her mother calls for the posting of surveillance video near the bathroom where Felicia was found.Read More…….
