10 year old Indiana boy takes his own life after suffering from relentless bullying at school. Sammy Teusch from Greenfield, Indiana was bullied so severely on May 4th that he ended up ending his life the next day on May 5th. His parents Sam and Nichole say he was both physically and emotionally bullied at Greenfield Intermediate School, with Sammy being recently beaten up on a school bus.  Teachers and school staff ignored his families pleas to stop the bullying over the last year after his parents reported incidents of bullying over 20 times. According to the family, the school failed to take action to stop the repeated abuse. His devastated father told local media outlet WTHR: “They were making fun of him for his glasses in the beginning, then on to make fun of his teeth. It went on for a long time. He was beat up on the school bus, and the kids broke his glasses and everything.  I called the school, and I'm like, 'What are you doing about this? It keeps getting worse, and worse, and worse. And it's not getting any better. In fact, it's getting worse.” His father also revealed the moment he found his son’s lifeless body. “I held him in my arms. I did the thing no father should ever have to do, and anytime I close my eyes, it's all I can see.” Source: Daily Mail/ WTHR
