POLK COUNTY, Fla. —A Lakeland mom said her 12-year-old daughter took her life Monday because she was sick of being cyber-bullied by a group of five or six middle school girls.

Becca Sedwick, 12, was reported missing Monday when she didn't return home from school. Early Tuesday morning, her body was found at a defunct cement plant not far from her house.
Sedwick's mother, Tricia Norman, said her daughter was being so badly bullied last year by a group of girls at Crystal Lake Middle School that Norman complained to school officials and even filled out an official bullying report on-line.

Norman says back in February, she decided to pull her daughter out of school and begin home-schooling her but the bullying continued through cyberspace.
