A New Jersey mother is suing a local school district, claiming that her 12-year-old son took his own life in 2017 because classmates bullied him for being gay.

His mother, Marcy Peterson, claims in the suit filed in October in state Superior Court in Cumberland County that his death was a"result of an extended and persistent period of bullying, intimidation, and harassment."

Tristan was bullied and harassed repeatedly by his classmates, according to the lawsuit. During a November 2017 incident, just days before the boy's death, a staff member at the school witnessed another student threaten Tristan, the suit says.

I believe it's mostly the victims' family's fault for not taking their kid out of public school when bullying happens. Parents are only setting their kids up for suicide or murder when they send their kids to public schools. Kids should be in private, home or online schools.

And in other news: Robert De Niro actually admitted that he fantasizes about someone throwing a bag of feces at the president’s face. Way to stay classy lefties...

Hope she wins it! Schools should prevent this crap at school; parents control social media rxposure, but that is much more difficult, cause kids get sm everywhere.

And the 2 year delay?

Maybe a 12 year old shouldn’t have chosen to be gay that young 🤷🏾‍♂️

So person A, is suing B, because people XYZ did something to C. Makes zero logical sense.
