A wrongful death suit against Cincinnati Public School can go to trial, an appellate court has ruled, over the suicide of an 8-year-old who was bullied for years.
The parents of an 8-year-old boy who took his own life after being bullied for years have won a key legal victory in their battle to sue the Cincinnati school district, an appellate court ruled.
Education officials recklessly handled the prolonged bullying of third-grader Gabriel Taye because they knew Taye was harassed and bullied at school and utterly failed to protect him, according to an opinion written by Sixth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Bernice Bouie Donald and released on Tuesday.
