On Tuesday, an Ohio judge ruled that parents of an 8-year-old boy who died by suicide in 2017 can sue the school district for their son’s death.
Carson Elementary student Gabriel Taye was reportedly bullied in the three years leading up to his death. The third-grader’s parents sued Cincinnati Public Schools’ Board of Education, alleging school officials not only failed to intervene, but they never told the boy’s parents about the relentless bullying before his death, according to WXIX.
The parents’ lawsuit also lists Carson Elementary’s principal Ruthenia Jackson, ex-vice principal Jeffrey McKenzie, former school nurse Margaret McLaughlin, and former superintendent Mary Ronan as defendants.
