Stepmother Of Girl Who Bullied Another Teen Into Suicide Arrested For Abuse

2 Timothy 3:1-5 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

The stepmother of a 14-year-old girl who was arrested on charges related to bullying another teen into suicide has been arrested on six counts related to abuse.

Vivian Vosburg, 30, is facing charges related to a video posted on Facebook showing her punching two teenage boys. The Polk County Florida Sheriff’s Office said Vosburg is charged with two counts of child abuse with bodily harm and four counts of child neglect with great harm.

Vosburg’s stepdaughter, 14-year-old Guadalupe Shaw, is charged along with a 12-year-old girl with felony aggravated stalking in the suicide death of 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick. The two girls reportedly harassed Sedwick in person and online because the girl had dated a boy that Shaw had once dated. Sedwick committed suicide by jumping from the top of a concrete silo on September 9th.

While the charges against Vosburg are not related to the bullying incident with Shaw, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd believes the environment created in Vosburg’s home contributed to the 14-year-old’s depraved mindset.

“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” Judd said at a press conference.
