Grieving parents slam Chicago private school for telling them their 15 year-old son’s face mask had slipped during class – ‘but NOT his pleas for help with bullying which drove him to suicide’
A stricken mom and dad say a Chicago private school nagged them about their son not wearing a face mask properly – but failed to inform them of his torment at the hands of bullies who drove him to suicide.
Robert and Rose Bronstein lost their son Nate, 15, to suicide in January 2022 after he was brutally bullied on social media by his classmates at the $43,000-a-year Latin School in Chicago.
The couple – who are now suing the Latin School for $100 million – claim Dean of Students Bridget Hennessy was quick to inform them about Nate not wearing his mask properly during COVID.
But they allege Hennessey made no such effort to tell them about the bullying they say Nate had disclosed to her.
‘Their first instinct, their second instinct and third instinct was to protect themselves and their careers,’ Robert said, according to Fox News. ‘They could literally care less about the truth.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to Hennessy for comment.
