The parents of a Mentor boy who killed himself are suing the school administrators and the boy’s former math teacher for allegedly failing to protect the youth from constant bullying. The boy, who was 17 when he killed himself, had been the subject of consistent bullying from many of his classmates, most especially in math class where the teacher was an athletic coach who allegedly did nothing to protect the teenager. One day, the Mentor teen was allegedly told “why don’t you go home and shoot yourself, no one will miss you,” and he did. In their lawsuit, the parents are not seeking any money damages, but a promise by the school to institute an anti-bullying program.
