‘IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN’: Distraught Mom of Dead Son Bullied Over COVID Warns Parents

The parents of a Chicago teen who committed suicide allege that officials and staff of his elite private school ignored and even participated in relentless bullying against their son, WBBM-TV reports.

In January, 15-year-old Nate Bronstein hanged himself in a bathroom at his family’s Illinois home, according to WLS-TV.

Now, Bronstein’s parents are suing the school and have issued a warning about its principal, who is slated to take a new job at a private school in New York.

The legal action by the parents, Rosellene and Robert Bronstein, seeks $100 million from the Latin School of Chicago, where Nate had transferred so he could receive in-person learning during the pandemic.

“But from his first days at Latin until his last, N.B. was subjected to persistent and increasingly cruel forms of bullying, cyberbullying, hate speech and other harassment that caused him severe anxiety and depression,” the complaint reads. “N.B. had been tormented on a regular basis by students at his high school.”

The suit alleges a “willful failure by teachers and officials at Latin to take any action to remedy the horrific treatment that N.B. had endured prior to his death despite being aware and/or having every reason to be aware of what he was enduring through numerous complaints by both N.B. and his mother, Mrs. Bronstein, to Latin administrators,” according to the complaint.
