A Gulfport law firm is investigating potential liability in the death by suicide of Ocean Springs Middle School student Aubreigh Wyatt on Labor Day.

“We’re still investigating but, from what we’ve seen, Aubreigh was the victim of some pretty horrific harassment and bullying over the last several years, really,” said attorney Trevor Rockstad of Davis & Crump law firm.

Rockstad said the law firm wants to find out who allowed the bullying to continue for so long and hold those people accountable through a lawsuit.

Aubreigh had just started 8th grade when her life ended. She was a popular student, surrounded by friends in social media photos and always wearing a smile.

But one group of students, led by girls, started bullying her when she was in 5th grade at Ocean Springs Upper Elementary School, Rockstad said. He said members of the group targeted Aubreigh at school, at social events and on social media apps such as Snapchat.

She was called hateful, untrue names, he said. Her mother, Ocean Springs elementary school teacher Heather Wyatt, complained to school authorities and to parents of the bullies.

“She certainly was not a passive observer,” Rockstad said. “She tried to get it to stop.”

Aubreigh Wyatt popular despite bullying

But the taunting never stopped and untrue rumors about Aubreigh spread. Kids she knew from other areas of the Coast even heard them, the attorney said.

Aubreigh tried to enjoy life, despite the bullies. She was a member of the youth group at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, East Campus, and took comfort from her faith. In addition to her mother, Aubreigh left behind an older sister and a little brother.

Rockstad said he was speaking for the family because “Aubreigh’s family is going through a lot right now, and everyone is deep in grief over the loss of this sweet child.”
