A concerned Portsmouth parent contacted police at 11 pm to report her child had been bullied to the point where she no longer wanted to live.
The mom said for the past two months the girl was bullied over the phone and at school. The abuse had escalated to the point where the child said she wished she was dead.
The compassionate officer advised the mom to take the child to the hospital to speak to a counselor and provided a crisis hotline number.
Portsmouth Police also shared the information with the school resource officer.
