Parents Say 15 Yr-Old’s Suicide Due To Relentless Bullying About Vaccination Status
The vilification of the unvaccinated needs to end. This is why.
A lawsuit filed on Monday against the Latin School of Chicago by the parents of Nate Bronstein states that he took his life in January after relentless bullying started over a false rumor that he was unvaccinated against COVID-19.
The Tenth-grade student transferred to Latin from Francis Parker School because Latin continued with in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Robert and Rosellene Bronstein were concerned about their son’s transition to the new school and had been in contact with the administration over their concerns. After the bullying began, they brought the situation to the school’s attention hoping to have the issue addressed. They also contacted the parents of the alleged bullies.
The Bronsteins’ lawsuit accuses administrators at Latin of “willful failure” to do anything about the bullying despite repeated complaints made by both Nate and his parents.
The gut-wrenching thing is that despite the incessant torment that Nate was subjected to that began with the rumor that he was unvaccinated — the rumor was untrue. Nate had been vaccinated. The bullying then escalated and the teen thought this was beyond what he could bear and he took his life on January 13 of this year.
