Chicago prep school's 'negligent behavior' toward cyberbullying led to student's suicide, parents allege

"Their first instinct, their second instinct and third instinct was to protect themselves and their careers. They could literally care less about the truth," Robert Bronstein said of the school, which he claimed acted with "cruelty and the callousness" before and after their son's death.

Issues at school

Prior to his suicide, the school's dean of students allegedly contacted the Bronsteins to tell them Nate had been put on notice for not wearing his mask correctly over his nose. 

The same dean of students, however, apparently failed to contact the Bronsteins when their son was being bullied, according to their lawsuit against the school. 

The Bronsteins enrolled Nate, whom they described as a "bright" and "energetic" boy with an intense love for sports, at The Latin School of Chicago as a sophomore in the fall of 2021. 

He had spent the last year online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and his parents wanted him to go back to in-person learning, which The Latin School, founded in 1888, promised parents.

But when Nate started school, he was apparently subject to rumors that he had enrolled during his sophomore year "for nefarious reasons," Rose Bronstein said.

Students wondered why he was there, whether he was a problem child, whether he had been kicked out of his last school or expelled — none of which is true, Rose said.

"They spread rumors that he was unvaccinated, which, of course, at the time was like ‘The Scarlet Letter,’" she explained.

Typical inferior blue state public school strikes again. Forget the lawsuit. This school should be closed and ALL teachers involved with this student should be fired.

Florida's superior public schools have much more stringent rules concerning bullying. Each teacher and sub has to sit through many classes on the subject, even more classes than the ones on asbestos.

In each school is a bullying hotline. Each teacher has got to be on the lookout for ANY behavior that would even resemble bullying.

One day, a young kid (maybe third grade) came up to me to complain about being bullied. I marched that kid directly to the principal's office and told everyone what was happening. I then sat in front of the kid and told him to speak very clearly, try to remember each incident and to not be afraid to name names. I never knew if the principal was grateful for my actions or was somehow put out by the inconvenience, but I didn't give a rat's ass. I had a job to do. And I certainly would have no problem seeing a principal lose HIS job if he isn't doing it as well.

I never knew the outcome of that incident because I sub at many schools. Hadn't been back to that one in a few years, so probably the kid is either in middle school or has moved away.
