Teenager commits suicide after her classmates secretly filmed a naked video of her in the shower and posted it on Snapchat


Levon Holton-Teamer sent her 15-year-old
daughter, a freshman at Wiregrass Ranch High
School in Wesley Chapel, to go clean her room
on Sunday afternoon, minutes later when the
mom didn't hear any movement in her room,
she went to look for her daughter, Tovonna.
Holton-Teamer said Wednesday:
“I go to the bathroom; I couldn’t get in
the bathroom. The bathroom light was
off so I tried to get in and I looked down
and I saw the puddle of blood. I tried to
apply the pressure, the pressure to her
head. I tried to save her,”
Tovonna had taken her mum's gun from her
mother’s purse and shot herself in the head.
Her mum said 3 hours before her death,
Tovonna had expressed concern over a nude
picture her friends had taken of her in the
shower without her permission.
“Tovonna would say, ‘Mommy, I owe
them; I owe them’. I said, ‘What do you
mean you owe them?’ I couldn’t
understand what was wrong,” Holton-
Teamer said.

Hours after Tovonna’s death, her aunt, Angel
Scott, took to Facebook to find out why the
teenager had killed herself.
Scott learned it was actually a nude video of
the girl, taken while she was in the shower not
a photo.
“I just said, ‘If anybody knows anything,
what happened? Have you heard of
anything? Do you know who these kids
are who have the pictures?’ I thought it
was just pictures and then the kids
started inboxing me”.
“Everybody was out there talking about
her and calling her names and they said
it went up on social media, Snapchat. I’d
never heard of that before about 3
something that afternoon,” she said.

The Pasco County School District heard about
the bullying complaints and have turned the
investigation over to the Pasco County Sheriff’s
Office to continue to investigate.
Tovonna’s picture had been shared thousands
of times on social media with the #stopbullying.
The teen’s family is now calling for justice.
The teen's aunt, Angel Scott said:
“I want them to pay, to feel what we
feeling, even if their child is convicted or
in trouble they can go visit their child,”
Scott said.
