ANGUISH: Amanda Cummings’ mother took to the girls’ Facebook page to hold bullies responsible for her death. (
)
Tragic Amanda Cummings’ mother and sister used her Facebook page yesterday to lash out at the “evil son of a bitches’’ whose unrelenting bullying drove the Staten Island teen to suicide.
Amanda jumped in front of a city bus two days after Christmas when she was dealt the final blow — her 19-year-old boyfriend dumped her.
Her tormenters zeroed in on areas where their victim was most vulnerable.
They joked that the slim 15-year-old was anorexic, and taunted her about the love triangle she was involved in.
“This is to all you evil son of a bitches that picked on, talked about and threatened my baby,” heartbroken mother Cece Weber wrote on her daughter’s Facebook page.
“I HOPE YOU DIE and I HOPE YOU SUFFER.”
The family never told New Dorp HS about the bullying, said a city education source.
An uncle, Keith Cummings, said Amanda didn’t want the abuse reported because she feared it would make matters worse.
The sophomore had been hospitalized two years ago after threatening suicide.
She not only was anorexic, but also was a “cutter’’ who mutilated herself with knives, said a law-enforcement source.
Amanda’s desperate final act on Dec. 27 did nothing to stop her tormentors.
As she lay dying in a hospital, the online taunts continued, her uncle said, adding that the posts have since been deleted.
Amanda’s older sister, Dawn Weber, appealed to students and friends with direct knowledge of the bullying.
“AS A SISTER, A MOTHER, AND A HUMAN BEING WITH A BEATING HEART THAT IS BROKEN, I AM BEGGING YOU KIDS, ANYONE WITH ANY CONCRETE PROOF OF BULLYING TOWARD MY SISTER, PLEASE LET ME KNOW,” she posted.
“PLEASE. I NEED WITNESSES WILLING TO STEP FORWARD TO MAKE LEGAL STATEMENTS. NOT JUST KIDS COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK THAT WANT TO GOSSIP. THANK YOU.”
Weber went on:
“My little boy (4) will NEVER get to cuddle with, play DS games with, or even just giggle with his aunt anymore . . . My son wants to hug his aunt Amanda again, and I don’t know how to tell him he can’t.
“This is killing all of us.”
Amanda’s mother vowed to seek justice.
“This entire tragedy is far, far from over,” Weber wrote. “I am no where done with this.”
Cummings, 45, insisted his niece’s breakup with her boyfriend would not have been enough to drive her over the edge.
“Don’t tell me my niece committed suicide over some boy,” Cummings told The Post.
“There’s a lot more to it. Somebody has to be responsible. She was bullied, and it was a big part of her tormented life.”
Cummings said Amanda also was constantly badgered with abusive text messages.
He said cops have her cellphone and are trying to determine who sent the evi, messages.
No criminality is suspected, police said.
A four-page suicide note was found on Amanda after the bus struck her on Hylan Boulevard at Hunter Avenue, a source said.
Friends said classmates constantly picked on her, especially those who took sides in her awkward love triangle.
Cummings said one of the students even threatened Amanda with a knife.
But Amanda left home Dec. 27 in a good mood.
“My niece was laughing and joking with her mother when she left the house,” he said. “She said, ‘I’ll be back in a little while.’ ”
A recent Facebook posting by Amanda hinted at a more distraught state of mind:
“ill just go f— myself, just like u said baby,” she wrote last month. “then ill go kill myself, with these pills, this knife, this life has already done half the job.”
Tributes from friends and family continued to pour in on Amanda’s Facebook page, until it was taken down yesterday afternoon.
A memorial tribute was also posted on YouTube.
A funeral Mass has been set for 10 a.m. tomorrow at St. Ann’s Church on Cromwell Avenue.
