Aubreigh’s alleged bullies’ pictures began to spread online, demanding the children feel shame for what they had done. Some went as far as publicly listing the address of one of the girls. In addition to the alleged bullies being outed, their parents, along with their places of work, were also revealed, with some demanding their resignation.

The parents of the four children filed a defamation lawsuit against Heather Wyatt. Chancery Court Judge Mark Maples ordered Heather Wyatt’s social media accounts to be temporarily shut down. 

Mom’s new mission honors Aubreigh Wyatt after MS Coast teen died by suicide over bullying

Heather Wyatt is trying to keep it together.

She wants 13-year-old daughter Aubreigh Wyatt’s death by suicide to mean something. She wants the bullying to stop in and out of school, online and in person. She wants to help children and parents deal with bullies.

A teacher as well as a mom, she wants students to thrive and to get help if they fall into despair. Aubreigh had seen therapists in the past and was on a waitlist for therapy when her mother found her dead in her room on Labor Day morning, Sept. 4.

Wyatt attributes Aubreigh’s death to the bullying she endured from 5th to 8th grade. The Ocean Springs Middle School student was popular, bright, kind, and beautiful, with a close group of friends. But a small number of students, primarily girls but not always the same ones, targeted her, bullying her at school, after hours, and on social media.

Grieving Mom of Aubreigh Wyatt Can Use Social Media Again After Alleged Teen Bullies Were Abused Online: Report

The mother of Aubreigh Wyatt, a 13-year-old Ocean Springs, Miss., girl who died by suicide last September, has been allowed by a judge to use her social media accounts again after the girl’s alleged teenaged bullies were attacked online, the Sun Herald reports.

Chancery Court Judge Mark Maples handed down the ruling to Heather Wyatt on Thursday, July 18, the paper reports, while also ordering that Child Protective Services investigate the safety of the children involved in the case, including Heather’s children and the four students she alleges bullied her daughter.

The parents of the four teens had filed a lawsuit against Heather, claiming defamation and slander, The Washington Post reported. After the July 2 filing, a judge also ruled that Heather must shut down all her social media accounts, per the outlet. While the parents dropped the lawsuit on July 16, the social media ban was maintained, according to a filing shared by Vicksburg News and reviewed by PEOPLE.

(The filing states that the case was “dismissed without prejudice,” meaning the parents can file it in the future.)

Bullycide: The Case of Aubreigh Wyatt

Aubreigh Wyatt loved making tik-toks, four-wheeling, and her family. The 13-year-old Ocean Springs, Mississippi, middle schooler was much like any all-American girl her age. She liked to laugh, have fun, and still get good grades and make it to Sunday school.

Sadly, like many other children her age, finding the right friend group was also hard. Aubreigh’s mother, Heather Wyatt, thought her daughter was too forgiving and tolerant of the insults, cruelty, and bullying Aubreigh endured for years with her friend group.

Wyatt said she repeatedly asked the school district for help but felt ignored and minimized. It’s exactly how she feels now in the wake of her daughter’s sudden death at her hand. In Heather’s grief and outrage, the young mother poured out her hurt and frustration on social media. Although she didn’t name names, the families of the girls Heather Wyatt believed bullied her child sued her to keep quiet because they, too, were now being targeted and harassed.

While a court order may have partially silenced Heather, for now, the response to the handling of the case has been deafening. Millions on social media are watching, following, and supporting her cause because, like Heather and Aubreigh Wyatt, families around the country and the world are dealing with bullies.

Aubreigh Wyatt’s Mom Sued for Claiming Girls Bullied Daughter to Suicide

The parents of four teenage girls in Mississippi have filed a lawsuit against Heather Wyatt, whose daughter, Aubreigh, died by suicide last year. They claim Wyatt wrongly accused their daughters of cyberbullying Aubreigh, leading to widespread online harassment of the teens.

Following Aubreigh’s death in September 2023, Wyatt took to social media, alleging that her 13-year-old daughter had been severely cyber-bullied by peers at Ocean Springs Middle School in southeastern Mississippi. Her posts, which called for raised mental health and bullying awareness, were viewed millions of times on TikTok, with several other accounts also calling for “justice” for Aubreigh.

Though Wyatt did not directly name or threaten the four girls, their identities and personal information were soon shared by other users. One girl’s home address was even posted online. This led Jackson County judge Mark Maples to issue a legal notice to Wyatt on Monday, instructing her to cease further posts that could endanger the girls and to temporarily deactivate her social media accounts to protect the minors involved. The order was later leaked on social media.

The lawsuit, filed by attorneys Patrick Guild and Tim Holleman on behalf of the girls’ parents, accuses Wyatt of maliciously committing slander, defamation, and negligence. The parents argue that other factors caused Aubreigh’s death and that she “had previously attempted suicide and did not receive the proper medical attention,” as stated in the complaint, according to The U.S. Sun.
