Taye an 8 year old boy a 3rd grader, was subjected to constant bullying that took place at his school without his parents being made aware by school officials. Taye’s family filed a lawsuit against the Cincinnati Public School District, citing a cover-up that took place in an effort to keep secret the persistent, abusive, and aggressive bullying that took place on school grounds.
The court cited many abuses suffered by Taye, which included an incident in which he was knocked unconscious by a student, and yet the school failed to notify his parents. School security video also shows another student hitting Taye in the school’s restroom, knocking him unconscious. Following the incident, It took seven minutes before an adult was made aware.
Taye’s parents were denied any access to school video footage and the school failed to discipline students who attacked Taye. The boy’s family claims school officials had a pattern of concealing the incidents, lied about the number of bullying instances, and failed to put any measures in place to prevent further attacks.
Family is filing wrongful death lawsuit against school district, still pending. Family stated that we are in a epidemic for children committing suicide, so the message should be, please talk to your children about bullying, work with the schools, and school board.
Please educate yourself and your children about different types of Bullying. 1. Physical Bullying, 2. Verbal Bullying, 3. Social Bullying 4. Cyber Bullying.
