Hundreds remember 10-year-old Greenfield boy who died by suicide 

The kids that bullied him should be charged.

THOSE KIDS THAT BULLIED THIS BOY...............HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.

Stop calling this bullying this is straight up assault and Harassment if kids wanna act like adults they better be treated and charged like one may this little boy rest in peace and fly high.💛💙❤

Nothing is ever done about bullying and they wonder why we keep having school shootings😢

Sadly the schools ignore the bullies and take zero action, each child deserves a peaceful calm school day.

Schools need to be held ACCOUNTABLE for letting this continue.

I pray they file a lawsuit as this is assault not just bullying.

That kids must be locked up for doing that to a 10year old

I was bullied as a kid in school, worst days of my life and I'll never forget it. There has to be serious punishment for this behavior in school.

The school officials that did nothing need to be held accountable 😡

Sue the kids parents who bullied him.

I have a 10 year old Grandson. This is heartbreaking. Sending prayers of strength and comfort.🙏💔

All the kids that r responsible for this should b held accountable!

There needs to be a “Sammy Teusch’s Law” created. A law to enforce the laws, rules, regulations, policies that are currently in place YET IGNORED! Complacency is not an excuse. When administrators and teachers overlook bullies and brutality in schools, children learn it is acceptable! One only has to read OSHA Standards to understand what is required to keep workers safe from complacency. If these rules are not enforced, people are injured or die. Similar safety standards must created and enforced for schools. How long do we have to continue hearing about multiple school administrative failures at every level, when children’s physical and mental safety have been compromised? Did Sammy’s school administrators believe 10 yr old Sammy Teusch would work his bullying problem out all by himself? They certainly didn’t do anything. Did they not consider that suicide might be on Sammy’s list of options for a solution? Schools administrators should be the experts, suicide and school shootings are on the list of how children handle their problem of being bullied. Sammy’s school and the parents of these bullies owe Sammy an apology and gratitude that he sacrificed himself for their lack of vidulance. Recently Ethan Crumbley parents were found guilty in a his Michigan school shooting. If only the school administrators and teachers had acted in a timely manner for Ethan Crumbley, because his behavior had been observed for a long period of time! If only Sammy’s school administrators and teachers had acted in a timely manner for Sammy, because his bullying happened over a long period of time! Something needs to be done for children that go to school faced with the possibility of being bullied. It could happen to any child. Socialization is a huge part of learning in school. God bless Sammy, his parents and all who will live in pain from losing him. 😞❤️🙏🏻

There are a lot of things we disagree about but I think everyone can agree that a 10-year-old should not think about taking his own life. The bullies, the parents of the bullies, and the school should be held accountable.

At some point bullying needs to be a crime.

i wonder how many of his bullies showed up at his service ... clueless when it comes to the consequence of their actions ...

For every bully that pushed a child to take their life, I pray you never find peace! To hear a child take their life hurt on so many levels…this has to stop! R.I.P sweet baby 😔❤️

How does a 10 year old boy even know how to commit suicide. So disturbing.

Bullying should be treated as a crime of the same level as murder by law hold those bullies accountable now‼️

They call it suicide, but he was killed by bullies. I was bullied by 1 male & 1 female for 12 years, even meanness after school. It is a kind of daily death.

Bullying should be considered a crime! God bless that little boy 😢

Bullying is off the rails....it should be illegal. The kids who bullied him , their parents are to blame for raising these monsters. They shoukd all be held accountable.

This country has a HUGE bullying problem that needs to be addressed.

The kids that bullied him need to be expelled for this and the school staff need to be held accountable for this as well!

Those bullies should be punished as well as their parents for contributing to his suicide and the parents for letting it happen.

I've been bullied before.... it's something someone should never go through but this world is full of hate, and as long as it exists it will always happen at one point or another.

Name and shame the kids that bullied him!

I'm a part of gen x and was bullied when I was in elementary school, and it never stopped. As I got older I learned to stand up for myself, but this behavior is so isolating and you feel so alone. I really feel for the little guy.

Beyond heartbreaking. The bullies should be held accountable

Students, teachers, bus driver & parents know who was bullying this boy & which school administrators did Nothing!

You can’t tell me a freaking teacher did not know he was being bullied. I’m so pissed off

I don’t know how the bullies for the rest of their lives can sleep at nights after what they have done! What monsters have these parents created?

So sad. I was bullied at work and my boss told me I'm too sensitive. Instead of talking to the women bullying 🙄 Edit. Thanks for all the messages. I've left that place and where I am now everyone is very nice. Those women are still in the old office 🙄

Wonder if those bullies should be charged for the suicide like Michelle Carter texting case

This is why I hate Schools. People bully others and the staff does nothing about it.

The school needs to be held accountable for not putting a stop to the bullying! I hope the children involved were dragged along to see the consequences of their actions, as young as they are. They need to realise what tormenting another child can do. It should never have had this horrendously tragic result 😢

My thoughts are with his family. No parents should ever have to bury a child at a young age Rest in Peace Sammy 🕊🕊🕊🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏🙏🙏

Sad! Just very sad! Our society has truly fallen when a young boy has to kill himself in order to be free from bullies!! RIP young man! I'm so sorry! 😪😪

No parent should ever have to bury their child. This is so heartbreaking. The kids should be charged for assault, this goes way beyond bullying.

He looks like a cool little kid man! He probably would have grew up to be an impeccable young man. This world is so cruel. I’m so saddened. ❤ May his parents be strong 💪🏾 and may the community help comfort them.

I can’t stop crying with this story. Please, precious kids, please be kind and please keep going. Don’t give up. You matter. Your life matters.

Sad I’m in 4th grade and ten FLY HIGH SAMMY ⚪️🕊️🪦 SCHOOLS DO NOTHING UNTIL ITS TO LATE SUE THEM!!!

Please hold the kids who did the bullying AND their parents responsible for this tragedy. It has got to stop. So sorry for his parents and family’s loss.

Get your kids OUT Public schools try to rehabilitate the bullies. Read your handbooks. We were there. Next step was to contact the superintendent. Nothing was changing. Luckily, Covid and remote learning stepped in. We saw more inadequacies, at a really good school in our area, and never went back. NEVER let it go this far as your child's parent. We have to protect them, not the school.

The kids that did that to him should be held accountable

What about the bullies, their parents, and the school administration. Will this wake them up finally? They all need to be held accountable.

hearing about this literally has me crying and in tears. both of my cats are sitting on me right now and one is literally comforting me and licking my tears away. he knows i am upset. bullying should be a criminal offense regardless of age. the kids who were mean to him murdered him. because of their actions...drove this boy to suicide. i know what this boy went through. as i was in his shoes also. from start to finish i was bullied in school. didnt have many friends growing up. alot of my own classmates were mean to me. called me names, some were also physical with me. in my teenage years my parents took my to counseling for depression. i was embarrassed speaking about the bullying to my parents. i held alot in. i would come home from school and they would ask me how was school. i would just always grunt. i did tell my parents in my teenage years that i wanted to die. i wanted to end my life. and they took action immediately and tried to get me some help. i never attemped my life until i tried to take my life in frontt of my mother when i was 18 or 19. i am 38 years old now and the crap i went through as a child still effects me to this day and i still cry over it. i am currently in therapy right now. being bullied as a child will follow you in adultlife and will cause you to have mental problems. if you are a child reading this and you are also a victim of being bullied..seek help. talk to someone. you are not alone. suicide is NOT the answer. if you are a child reading this and you are in school picking on people and bullying people..STOP NOW! because it will wind up screwing someones life up and you could end someones life by your actions!

This is pathetic that this precious baby felt suicide was his only option for peace and safety bc the heartless sch system didn't care......my daughter was bullied in jr high and was repeadetly ignored which caused me to taje action against the principal by threating to contact our local news station and exposing their heartless hearts and the results were swift....plz parents hear me if your says their being bullied take action ASAP so they won't be traumatized. I oray for Jesus to strengthen and wrap his loving arems around them and comfort the parents and family members😢

We had a wonderful 9 year old girl in class. I was so fond of her. She changed drastically, her behavior was just terrible. Found out the parents are horrible with each other. Gossiping with the children, treating them like adults, in their discussions with the children. Parents are 90% of the time to be blamed for their children's actions. The bullies should be investigated, and a fitting punishment should be given.

I literally have tears in my eyes. My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family.

Rest in peace Sammy. My son was bullied his last school. I reacted right away and took him out. He was choked out in the bathroom. The teachers and administrators wouldn’t do anything. I didn’t want to wait for it to get better. Cause we know it wouldn’t have. I’m so sorry Sammy. The school failed you.

I have 0 tolerance for bullies and have the scars to prove it! Prayers 🙏 for this family!

Rest in peace,no kid should feel this bad

Unbelievably sad. I hate bullies. I learned early on that you must bully them back even harder.

This has to STOP. Bullying should be illegal

My heart is broken! I cant imagine how devasted this is,he was a beautiful child.

I’m being bullied. I will not give up. If you are getting rumors spread about you, or someone is making fun of you for something you can’t control, just know, millions of kids in America your age are going through the same thing are giving up. Be different. Don’t give up!

This is heartbreaking whoever raising those lil bully animals should be beyond ashamed of themselves I taught mine to make an example out the first kid that bullies them and thats exactly what they did .

Hearts, prayers & thoughts are with the family, friends & schoolmates for the loss of their special loved one. God bless all during the time of their sorrow.

The problem comes from the fact that the good kids are not allowed to defend themselves from the bullies. If they stand up for their self and fight back, they get into trouble. So the bullies have the greenlight to do exactly as they please , and they know it. They need to let kids fight it out like we used to. When you stand up to the bullies, they stop. The bullies are not gonna stop because you tell them to , you have to show them.

Bullying sucks! No child needs to go thru that!

I wonder how many of his classmate that bullied him went to his funeral acting like they care. This is heartbreaking!

10!! A 4th grader. My youngest is 10. Just a baby. So incredibly sad i dont even have words. Kids are so mean. His poor parents. God rest his little sweet soul😢💔

A 10 year old committed suicide? What is going on? 😭

This breaks my heart

Sue the parents who allowed this to happen! How dare they!

Prayers for the family. What has the world come to he was 10 years old. No words.

Poor child, he needed more support for everybody. A kind child. We need to make our children stronger in her mind and soul.

I will never understand how some children can be so mean. My hope is that the bullies will turn their life around for good and truly understand the depth of their actions. RIP little Sammy.

Why wasn't he removed from the school by his parents and the bullies were charged.

It makes me sick that kids are committing suicide when they are bullied. I’m almost of the thought that their families should be charged with something because they haven’t taught their kids that bullying is not acceptable. 😡

Where were these hundreds of people when he was being bullied!! This kid deserved more protection and this infuriates me. Rest in peace Sammy.

I have been following this story, my heart is broken for this family.

Why hasn't bullying been included as a crime?

How much trouble would Sammy have been in for ending his tormentors? How much trouble will his tormentors be in for ending Sammy?

I would love to know the parents of the kids who were bullying.

I am totally devastated for Sammy. My heart is broken. Shame on every single kid, parent and school employee who caused this.

This is so tragic. Kids nowadays can be so cruel,; but the sad thing is, schools do not take bullying seriously and don't do anything constructive to prevent it. The saddest thing is the bullies go on to live their lives and don't even feel bad about their actions.

This hurt me what a handsome kid with a charming smile 💔 I wish he knew he was greater than the bullies I’ve kept my child home for this entire week because of bullying 🥀 Rest In Heaven Kiddo 🕊️💔

Same 💩town I grew up in and I’m 73. Bullying was alive and well then too. I left as soon as I graduated I wish these people had been around to support that young boy as they are now to bury him. Come Monday in these schools what will change. Just a lot of tears but change speaks volumes. May this young soul Rest In Peace 😔

Seeing the motorcycles showing respect made me cry

Prayers for his family and friends. This story broke my heart.

No room for bullying. Children, standup and talk about bullying to your teacher, a friend or your parent. Don't be silent. Prayers for the family.

The parents did an interview saying bullies made fun of his glasses and teeth. They also bullied him on Snapchat. They didn’t go into description on that, just said his access to snapcht was limited. This poor child had NO ONE to help him learn how to deal with bullies in life, and his parents massively failed him. Why not put him in another school? Help him learn how to deal with nasty people in life, as they never go away? Homeschool him? They keep blaming the school for their son’s death, but what about their own refusal to help him? Why did a 10 year old have a phone and Snapchat??

I haven’t cried like this in a minute, that poor baby didn’t deserve this 😭

I always friended those kids that got bullied in school. My parents taught me to be kind to everyone. Bullying is taught in the home. Parents need to have conversations with their kids. This is horrible !

Those who bullied him should be held liable and also the school administrations. They should do something. Prayers to his families and friends. Punished those who bullied him.

I am so sorry for your loss. No parent should have to go through this. I am almost 60 years old and I have been bullied my entire life. I have thought about suicide…..until the day I called the suicide hotline and was laughed at and hung up on. I pray that bullying ends before it’s too late for someone else. You and your family are in my prayers.🙏❤️God bless to you.🙏❤️

Just absolutely heartbreaking and devastating.

I’m just heartbroken and in tears… 10 years old. Sammy… I’m so sorry for the pain you suffered because of cowardly , cruel kids. I look at your precious face and want to hug you, let you know how special you are and how loved you are. My child is bullied as well. The first school did NOTHING, I changed his school. He is still verbally bullied by a couple of other boys and girls. MEAN kids are everywhere, apparently bad parents are too. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SCHOOLS TO STAND BY THEIR “ZERO BULLYING POLICY”!!!! EVERY KID THAT BULLIED SAMMY- THIS IS YOUR FAULT! EVERY KID THAT STOOD THERE AND LAUGHED OR DID NOT STAND UP FOR HIM- THIS US YOUR FAULT!!! Sammy, beautiful boy… play in peace now. The world will not forget you. 🙏🏻😰🧸🩵

Why do bullies have to destroy so many lives? The poor boy didn’t deserve to be treated like this. Those bullies are monsters.

This bullying has got to stop. Why are kids so cruel??????

This crap should NEVER be happening ! Something needs to stop this loss of innocent young life !

I was bullied at school which made me feel like I didn't want to go on!! I know what a devastating effect it has on your confidence & self worth

Most bullies have bully parents and they should be held accountable also.

I contemplated suicide at that age due to bullying. Back in the early 90’s. It was quietly behind the scenes back then, and now even quieter with social media. The only school got involved was in the late 80’s when I was physically assaulted and bleeding on the playground Nothing happened to that kid. I think maybe a suspension? I was only 6 I can’t remember. They were a 6th grader. Nobody sued back then. I remember feeling even more bullied by the 6th graders for speaking out. The teachers and parents can’t see everything. The kids don’t want to speak out. (Myself included) I fear nothing is going to change.

How does a little boy commit suicide or even know how to carry it out? So sad

This is heartbreaking 😭 schools really need to do something with bullies, when I was a kid my school did nothing, parents need to do better also

so tragic he felt that was his only option but as someone who was bullied all through school i feel his pain. It destroys you, people don't realize the damage they cause.
