School covered up bullying complaints before 10-year-old Sammy Tuesch’s suicide: lawsuit

The tragic story of 10-year-old Sammy Teusch, who took his own life after enduring relentless bullying, has sparked a wrongful death lawsuit against his school. Sammy’s parents, Sam and Nicci Teusch, are seeking justice for their son, claiming that school staff ignored their complaints and even punished Sammy when he sought help.

According to the lawsuit, Sammy was subjected to verbal and physical abuse by his classmates, who mocked him for his glasses and teeth. The bullying became so severe that Sammy’s classmates even encouraged him to hang himself, calling him “Dahmer” in reference to serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Despite Sammy’s repeated complaints to his teacher, the response was dismissive, with the teacher suggesting that Sammy did resemble Dahmer.

Sammy’s father, Sam Teusch, revealed that his son was afraid to fight back against his bullies because he feared getting in trouble at school. The Teuschs were assured by school staff that they would address the bullying, but there are no official records of their complaints. Other parents also shared similar experiences of bullying at the school, but no action was taken to address the issue.

Sam Teusch believes that Sammy’s death was a result of a culture of unchecked bullying in schools, where teachers and staff are hesitant to confront bullies and parents are kept in the dark. He has been advocating against bullying since his son’s death, launching the Sammy’s Tree foundation for bullying victims and consulting for an upcoming film based on Sammy’s story.

Despite facing backlash on social media platforms for discussing suicide and bullying, Sam Teusch is determined to raise awareness about the issue. Bullying is the second leading cause of death for children aged 10 to 14, according to the CDC. The Teuschs have filed a lawsuit against the Greenfield-Central Community School Corporation and the Greenfield-Central Community School Corporation Board of Trustees in Hancock County Circuit Court.

The heartbreaking story of Sammy Teusch serves as a reminder of the devastating impact of bullying on children and the urgent need for schools to address this issue. If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts or experiencing a mental health crisis, help is available through resources such as 1-888-NYC-WELL or the National Suicide Prevention hotline. Let us all work together to create a safe and supportive environment for our children.
