Parents whose daughter died by suicide reach $9.1M settlement with school district, lawyer says

Bruce Nagle, the attorney for Seth and Dianne Grossman, whose daughter Mallory died in 2017, said the settlement is the"largest settlement of a bullying case in New Jersey history."

The Grossman family filed their lawsuit against the school district in 2018, claiming officials did nothing to stop what they said was ongoing and systemic bullying of Mallory. The Grossmans also alleged in the complaint that Mallory's classmates constantly kicked the sixth grader's chair while she was in class, and alleged that one student asked her in front of others when she was going to kill herself.

In the wake of Mallory's death, the Grossmans launched a nonprofit organization, Mallory's Army Foundation, to support bullying prevention.
