‘He was harassed’: Chicago family creates ‘Buckets over Bullying’ after son dies by suicide

CHICAGO – Buckets Over Bullying.

A hoops’ event took place Wednesday afternoon to encourage kids to start the school year off on the right foot. Social media trick shot sensation Tristan Jass was also there raising awareness about cyberbullying. This fun event was created to bring light to a very serious topic. It started after a mom lost her son due to cyberbullying.

Nate Bronstein, 15, was cyberbullied at the Latin School of Chicago. His mom says he reported it to the school but not to anyone else, and eventually, he took his own life because of it.

“Vicious, vicious statements, suicide baiting messages, he was harassed, he was threatened and as a result, we lost him to suicide January 13th of 2022,” said Rose Bronstein.

Then, his family took their pain and turned it into “Buckets over Bullying,” teaming up with social media trick-shot superstar Tristan Jass. He is now using his platform of millions of followers to encourage youth to speak out if they are a victim or if they see something.
