Heartbroken Parents Of 10-Year-Old Who Died By Suicide Share Warning Signs They Noticed

The parents of 10-year-old Autumn Bushman, a fourth-grader from Roanoke, Virginia, are speaking out after her tragic death by suicide on March 21. Once known for her bright spirit and energy, Autumn had recently shown troubling changes—sleeping more, smiling less, and withdrawing emotionally—deeply worrying her parents, Mark and Summer Bushman.

They believe relentless bullying, both in and outside of school, played a major role. Despite reporting their concerns, they say the bullying continued. Autumn was known for defending classmates who were picked on, which her mother believes may have made her a target herself.

The school district has confirmed it is investigating the circumstances surrounding Autumn’s death, though it cited privacy laws in declining to share specific details. “We take all reports of bullying seriously,” a spokesperson stated, offering condolences to the grieving family.

Autumn’s story has shaken the Roanoke community. Loved ones are remembering her kindness and strength, while urging others to take bullying seriously. Her family has invited the public to attend her services and honor her memory, hoping to raise awareness and prevent future tragedies.
