Been to the school 20 times and did not take the child out of the place.

Was the kid handcuffed to the school?

Take him out of that school.

This is tragic and infuriating, that for real bullying, school officials do nothing. My heart goes out to the family.

If this was my kid, the school would have experienced a rush of unexplained ass-kickings instead of a suicide.

Schools often. Find it useful to maintain order by sacricing certain students.

In these “bullying” stories there always seems to be a chunk of backstory left out.

WHY was the kid being bullied and singled out?

"Take him out of that school."

Greenfield, IN is a small town of 23,000 in farm country, there are probably no other schools unless the family moved from town. The kid and family was/are between a rock and a hard place.

The kid was trapped in a government school/prison.

For kids their age, those are two valid (but stupid) reasons for the bullying...

The superintendent, Dr. Harold Olin, claimed, “no bullying report was ever submitted,”

The student handbook clearly states on page 367 paragraph 6 that Bullying reports must be submitted in triplicate on form BS 072b, which can be obtained from the Superintendent's office by submitting a request on form BS 071a also obtained from the Superintendent's office.

Allow 6 weeks for delivery.

Because he’s an insecure and vulnerable child. That is all that is needed. Not every kid is 6’0 and 270lbs at 8 years old.

Unless you are physically of beating your bullies to a pulp, they will focus on one child and ensure hus entire 8 hour day is a continual of bullying.

Ask me how I know this.

I know they are suffering, but if the bullying was so bad that they had complained twenty times but never removed the child from school, then they contributed to his death.

When my son was in the eighth grade, he suffered from bullying. I pulled him out of school and home-schooled him. That solved the problem immediately.

When a 10 y.o. commits suicide its not the schools fault. The kid was mentally unstable to begin with. where were his parents or siblings when he was having these problems?

stop blaming bullies for a childs death.

the boy wasnt in prison and could leave at any time. His parents failed him, not the school system.

Either take care of your child YOURSELF, or just stfu about it, its NOT the schools job to raise your child and address his/ her mental issues

Let this be a cautionary warning. YOU are responsible for your own safety and security! You cannot trust any system or process to protect you - they will fail! The parents bear the ultimate responsibility for not protecting their son. As a man - your responsibility is to protect your family. As parents you protect your children. Questions?

The siblings knew who the bullies are.

“stop blaming bullies”?

Some of what you say makes sense, but there are bullies out there, and they need to be dealt with. Yes, they harbor blame.
