Stop calling this bullying. This is straight up assault, and those kids should be charged as such.

Schools don't care. Administrators don't care. They do nothing about bullying.

When the bullying is physical, that's assault. Call the police, not the school.

This is why I hate bullying, I hate bullies, and I hate people who do nothing about it.

Any 4th grader shouldn’t even THINK of taking their life

The children who were bullying him should be held accountable

If harassment isn't ok at the workplace then why the hell is it ok at our children's schools? It makes no sense.

This is beyond bullying it’s assault and parents should press charges against these kids. These kids need to be held accountable for their actions

If your child is being bullied in school… take them out of school ASAP. Especially if the school doesn’t put a stop to the bullying. You as a parent are your child’s best advocate!

Every faculty member that knew this was going on and did NOTHING should be held accountable!

File a civil suit against school admin. They must be held accountable for ignoring the bullying.

Most kids shouldn't even know what suicide *is* in fourth grade. Shame on the school, shame on the bullies, and shame on society for throwing young children into situations they should never be in.

If your child is assaulted, call the police, not the school.

As a parent…. If the school doesn’t do anything …. Take your kid out of that school. Stop sending them back there to be bullied.

As a victim of bullying myself that I grew up having low self esteem, I feel sorry to the parents and siblings of this young lad. Sammy didn't deserve to see how cruel the world is at young age. May his family recover from the passing of their son. As for the bullies hope they can eat, sleep well every single day knowing that they took the life of an innocent boy.

Let me tell you, SCHOOL’S DO NOT GIVE A FUCK. My friends are suicidal because of the relentless bullying going on. They would rather suspend you for swearing at a teacher than assaulting a kid. The school system is fucked and no one seems to care. This is horrible, rest in peace and I am so sorry to the parents. Literally the worst thing that could ever happen to a parent.

Principal says "There were no complaints of bullying!" Then he turns around and saying school administrators and counselor had conversations throughout the year about the issue. Just outing himself as a f--king liar. Sue the school!

[sciencefirst]

File a lawsuit against the school and the parents of the bullies!

School system is fucked up. My good friend tried spent 30 minutes crying to the therapist while the entire time she sat there scrolling on her phone, not paying attention to a single word he was saying. They really don't give a fuck.
