"As the bullying increased she made comments that she contemplated suicide because the intensity of the bullying increased so much," Hohn told WCBS 880's Fran Schneidau. "I'm glad we got involved because we had to do the appropriate measures to stop this. Obviously, when the poor girl is contemplating suicide you've gotta do whatever you gotta do to stop it."
The 12-year-old girl will undergo counseling.
"If she doesn't stop she'll be arrested again or she'll be thrown out of school," Hohn said.
