After boy's suicide, parents speak out about their kids also being bullied | NewsNation Now

[@vinzanity68]

School principal should be held accountable.

[@amylee8969]

It’s clear that the school is chaotic to the point where they have no more control over the kids. That happens when kids are allowed to get away with things time after time to the point where schools become a circus.

[@VgggGtg-bw4zx]

I was racism bullied because principal tell them. I can’t speak English before. He was careless and terrible principal. Locked me in tiny room next principal’s room. I was crying and scream help open the door. Later years I remember name principal are leaving and working became new teacher or staff in different school.

I agree with you. The bullies who did this to him needs to turn themselves in to the police. I give my respects and my condolences to the family for their son. He's a sweet kid with a loving heart. Those bullies who did this to him needs to be expelled and send them to jail for bullying.

[@Ayatron34]

The principal calls his school a "corporation". Which says it all.

[@07Flash11MRC]

Bullying doesn't stop the minute kids leave the school. Legally there is nothing that teachers could have done to help him. This is the fault of the bullies and the parents that failed to raise them properly.

[@WJFK480]

I'm shocked the school allowed physical assaults too, I hope those kids were suspended at the very least. The best thing a kid can do if they see another kid being bullied is to simply tell the bullies to leave that kid alone or stand up for them in some other way and maybe try to be their friend. I've seen it work. A parent or teacher could say something over and over and the bully won't care, but if another kid says something, it can be so helpful. It may not always help, but a lot of times it does. Parents and teachers can encourage this too. My heart is broken for this beautiful family, I hope they find peace.

I agree, however the schools are so messed up now that it won’t work. My oldest grandson stood up for a kid that was being bullied relentlessly in the 8th. Grade. After several attempts to talk to the bullies and get them to stop, he finally had to punch one in the face during a bullying incident of the kid…..teachers stopped it, and suspended my grandson for trying to do something none of them tried to do…..stop that poor kid from being bullied!

[@VeaRobinson]

There was recently a dad that said he had to beat down the parent of the bully. The school meetings weren't working, so they took action. The bullying stopped!

[@Star-hk6gc]

I’m so very sorry. Honestly I know it doesn’t seem fair but it is so much better to pull your child out of school and teach at home. I know it sounds overwhelming, but at least you know your child isn’t having to face a nightmare every day.

I remember when my son was being picked on. I went inside the school bus one morning and cornered the bully in the back of the bus and screamed at him to leave my son alone. When I say I “screamed” I screamed so loud all the kids in the bus was covering their ears. He was “VERY” scared and was in tears. My son never got bullied again. I made sure the bully knew he’s messing with the wrong kid. The bus driver didn’t even want to intervene.

I was bullied SO VERY MUCH in school that when my own children became school age, I packed up and moved 978 miles. I went to rural SD where my children got an AWESOME education and had Church Release every single Wednesday. I'm VERY grateful for the fantastic education my children received. However, things are even WORSE here than when I was in school and my child has already pulled the grandchildren out and home schooling due to bullying 😔. It's so sad that public schools care so LITTLE about the children....jus sayin 😢

[@khatzeye]

Why aren’t parents teaching their kids to defend themselves? Bullies will ALWAYS exist. I taught my son to fight before he started kindergarten. Bullies in there too. Every parent has the responsibility of teaching their children how to protect themselves just as parents have the responsibility to teach their children bullying is wrong. Not tryna hear that lame excuse and pointing fingers bs. My son has a disability too and I made sure I prepared him for these asshole kids. Other parents can do the same but choose not to take off their cap’n save-a-ho cape. Boohoo.

[@janinem5196]

All schools talk "zero tolerance" concerning bullying. There are assemblies, and posters are plastered everywhere. But it seems that little to no actual *action* ever takes place when the rules are violated. This is outrageously tragic. And so many commenters blaming the parents, or telling them to homeschool or move away, or whatever - this is not the answer. Bullies will continue to the next child and the next, unabated. The school has a responsibility for the safety and well-being of every student in their charge. We don't need to blame the victims, who have suffered horrendously and will be blaming themselves enough for eternity; when it is not their fault. As a former educator and a mother and now grandmother, I know we must demand REAL accountability at every level of the school system. I wish strength and courage to Sammy's family. Rest in Peace, precious child.

[@jujubees711]

If there is clear evidence that someone took their life due to abuse. The abuser should be held responsible. These kids should not be allowed to attend school. Let them be home school. The city/state should however provide required mental counseling to these kids to find out why they abused this young boy, make sure there isn't abuse at home, and to help direct them into a non-violent life. School admins who didn't do anything should be held accountable and lose their jobs. Small price after this family lost their son. Maybe more schools would do something if they knew they would be held responsible. All schools should have a contingency plan on what to do and how to handle school bullies. It's 2024. How many times have we been through this? Why are these kids still allowed to attend school?? And they're bullying another kid. Suspend the bullies. Let them be home-schooled until they know how to behave and treat others. And send them to mental health counseling. The victim should receive free mental health counseling too. The trouble is not with these boys, it's with these bullies. Thank you News Nation for covering this story so closely. Maybe the school and other schools will finally do something, Parents need to petition until they do!

[@Basso-]

I agree 100% with you. These bullies really need help, children do as they are taught. Simple rule “treat other’s like you want yourself to be treated!” And if the bullies can’t handle that 1 simple rule they are required to be homeschooled. Until they can come back to school and treat people kindly.

[@sibhuskyguy]

i was horribly bullied as a child, to the point i was hospitalized 3 times before high school. it happened for YEARS. police did nothing, the other parents did nothing, the school did nothing. I survived it but it affected me in profound ways. fast forward to last year. when I beat my roomate to within an inch of his life for trying to bully and attack me. my message to kids being bullied is simple. defend yourself by any means necessary, learn to defend yourself, chances are you won't be smaller than the bullies once you reach adulthood. sometimes, unfortunately, violence is the only answer. if your parents are trying to teach you to never use violence, they are simply mistaken, bullies only understand when you beat their ass. this school's administrators and staff should ALL be held accountable, sometimes inaction is a crime. the bullies also need to be charged with their crimes. not just let them keep doing what they're doing.

[@CanadianYetty]

So true, I had no choice but to teach my kids an eye is more than okay for an eye, once I figured out no one would do jackshit if they were bullied. And they somehow survived and are both in university now. Today, I would certainly home school my child at any cost in this unbelievable situation.

[@christopherbrochu-r8z]

It's not that simple. I was bullied for much of my time in school. Thing is, it wasn't one bully - it was usually a group of them. Any effort on my part to fight back would have ended very badly for me, and the bullies wouldn't have been held accountable. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd have suspended me as the aggressor, even if I was defending myself. I wasn't taught any sort of non-violence, but if it's you against a group, self preservation kicks in.

I think part of the problem here is that as adults we can deal with it - if someone bullies you at work they get a broken jaw, flat tyre, or are sent to HR, so school employees probably equate the two, wrongly thinking kids can deal with it the same way we can.

[@deriusflowers2972]

This really hurts my heart

[@Joystar3000]

Something really needs to be done about this . People need to be more sensitive and their not the parents need to be held accountable for their child behavior or at least go into counseling this has to stop somewhere

[@eugeneterechenko5066]

I am pretty sure there are just really about 5-6 bullies there. School staff must handle them properly with police help.

[@Lisa-lu1gt]

Heartbreaking. Please teachers and administrators if you hear of bulling stand up. Do something! No way this should be considered okay. Parents do better!

[@scotty2221]

Very sad. VERY. God be with them all.

😢😢😢😢 I cried so hard over his death. Rest in Peace Sammy ❤

[@Mina-ki3iz]

I am sorry for your loss.

[@keithmerscheim1924]

Horrible. My prayers to his family and to him. And to all children who are subject to this. No reason for this in our society.

[@amandaknee1999]

Rest in peace, sweet boy. I am so sorry this happened to you and so sorry for the family's loss. May justice be done for Sammy!

[@verilyheld]

Schools always know, yet rarely end the bullying. I know of one case; Warren Rongve, a principal of Carpenter High School, Meadow Lake, SK Canada. When told two bullies on the volleyball team had assaulted another, taking his shorts down, rubbing liquid heat on his genitals, to 'welcome' him to the team, Rongve had those two off the team the next day, the coach told he's fired if there's another incident. Should have called the cops in, but even so, that ended the bullying!

[@amylee8969]

Admin and districts aren’t the ones working with the kids directly. Therefore they don’t think it’s their problem b/c it doesn’t affect their daily job. When teachers report the behavior b/c it’s disrupting the class, the school does nothing but send them to the deans office for 15 mins to “cool off”. No consequences no nothing.

[@dsayers586]

SO SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

[@fruitypebblez4309]

What the hell is wrong with this school.

[@CamLeighGamer]

I’ll be convinced that this is why kids hate school

[@wolfrahmphosphoros5808]

@@CamLeighGamer absolutely! I can attest to this from my own experience of school when I was a Kid. then society gets surprised when sometimes some mercilessly bullied Kid, Whom no one has helped, does something to defend Him-/Herself that then lands Him/Her in juvenile prison, and (S)He's labelled as the bad one. but nobody cares to realise that (S)He felt helpless and it was either Him/Her or the bullies. [-You know what I mean. I can't be direct because KZbin would remove my comment.] regards.

[@CamLeighGamer]

@@wolfrahmphosphoros5808 I’m sorry to hear that

[@Chad_Max]

What happened to teaching your kids to stand up for themselves?

[@khatzeye]

Thank you! All these people blaming the school yet this boy had a father and he didn’t teach him to fight?? The parents didn’t send the cops to the school or to the parents home? Didn’t remove him from said school? Very little prevention but a whole lot of blame and lack of accountability imo.

[@rubychurch3466]

My heart is broken for Sammy and his family. What a little sweetheart.

[@bjthedjdutchdude1992]

If only that schools did something to stop the bullying. Like send all the bullies to the office and have their parents called.

[@FadelessSparklz]

This one leaves me in tears beyond sadness, like.. as a substitute teacher and sociologist... this planet literally breaks my heart 😞

[@hilarioph]

Condolence to the family of Sammy. What a kind kid when I watch this video. In the Philippines a year before the pandemic hundreds of students in schools were bullied by their friends. After all, according to the Department of Education or Deped, they would never allow them to bully their friends or classmates. If one person has been bullied. It would be sad for their child and their experiences 🙁

[@metalformer4851]

As a kid, i got bullied as well so I feel his pain, though it never went this far! somebody must b hold accountable foor this!

[@natoemmanuel5963]

Parents when your child in that repeated situation , please give them homeschooling period.Because this is hard.

[@elizabethmccommons3379]

What a crying shame. If your kids are being bullied daily at school, please please pull them out, then settle situation if you can. Verbal abuse is torture to a child. My son who was sweet and kind got bullied by the tougher guys for years. Your too big, too small, too fat, smart or anything else. The bully's look for a target

[@sandrarios4636]

So sorry

[@r.p.1949]

schools need to demand that parents attend school with their kids if the kids have been bullying other kids.. people say who will pay for it..or whatever...but I think they would find a way to get the point across that it needs to stop

[@irthlingz]

This is a tragedy. And this sort of thing has been going on for decades. I was bullied in school. I asked my parents if I could see the school psychologist. They said "No, you don't need that. Ignore them and they'll stop." They did stop, after 5 years. After the school shootings in Littleton, CO, I wrote a song called "If They Had Asked Me" about this ongoing problem. You can find the song online. I teach social-emotional skills, but it's very hard to get that kind of program into the schools.

[@MaxieJohnson-ch3iy]

I am so very angry with the adults at that school. I feel for the parents lost. I cry everything that I hear this. So so sorry. I have a 7 year old and a 3 year old grandsons, except for the grace of God there goes I. Noone is immune to death but this could have been avoided. Pray for all families in this world

[@Rosa19368]

RIP angel sad that your parents the bullies school employees bus driver did so much harm to you in this world

R.I.P Sammy,God Bless your parents, I pray they find peace in understanding,please send these dear parents the Holy Spirit to comfort them , until you are all together again.
