Trans teen Brianna Ghey faced constant abuse before her tragic end
The police received reports that the adolescent had been discovered with severe injuries and rushed to the popular park around 3 p.m.
Brianna, from the Warrington neighborhood of Birchwood, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday, police arrested two 15-year-olds, a boy and a girl, on suspicion of her murder.
Brianna, a transgender individual, was popular on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
However, according to her schoolmates, she was victimized by her peers.
Damian Harry, whose daughter was friends with Brianna, told MailOnline that he believes she was subjected to verbal and physical abuse “because she was transgender.”

She stated that she was devastated by the constant abuse and even contemplated suicide.
“It was due to her gender identity. What took place is disgusting.
“According to her father, he brought up school safety a thousand times. However, little was done. Constant abuse was directed at her because she was different.
Let’s be honest, she was bullied due to her sexual orientation. Certainly, this is a hate crime.”
Just one week before her passing, Brianna told her online friends that she was “crying over everything.”
She posted the caption on an Instagram story that displayed a meme that read, “Me after feeling crazy.”
The Sun reported yesterday that five days before her death, she posted a video with the caption “Expelled from school.”
It depicts the teen in her bedroom wearing her Birchwood Community High School uniform.
Emma Mills, the principal of Birchwood Community High School, expressed shock and devastation upon learning of Brianna’s passing.
“This is, understandably, a very difficult and distressing time for many, and we will do everything in our power to support our students and the larger school community.”
