It's sickening that he is just one of MANY. I've also seen others around this age do it. Society needs to rethink how we handle mental health and helping more with bullying.
I've kids who were suicidal from the psyop Anti-white propaganda at school. We know who's behind it, and who be unto them when we break out the millstones on the waterfront.
@andrewrussell9653 What do you mean where? When you're in a state of depression it can occur as a thought. It's the idea of just wanting to stop it so bad you would rather not exist.
Personally, I feel like bullying should be considered a crime…that can lead to kids getting arrested and sent to juvy. It’s gotten too out of hand and it’s 10x worse than how it was 20 years ago.
@@JackAndP Name calling is not the only thing bullying is. If you are bullying someone constantly and you know its hurting them (which they do) you should go to jail for these things, or at least the parents for failing to parent their terrible children. Wtf is wrong with you to think the people who bullied someone shouldn't be punished for the victim who suicided from relentless torment. You have never been bullied.
Of course, bullies can be punished and held accountable. The bullies at my school have little to laugh about. I was a victim of bullying myself, today I'm a teacher. I know what I'm talking about.
Completely agree. The irony though is that reading this won’t make them feel a thing because they’re most likely psychopaths and evil themselves. Until a new law is made and parents have to take criminal and civil responsibility for their children in cases like this, this will just keep happening
@hathatshop No, they aren’t. The harsh truth that people seem to have a hard accepting is that there is children who are evil. Period. And most of times, they are a pure reflection of their parents, who probably make fun of other people too and don’t hold them accountable for their actions. And it’s thankfully to people like you who make excuses for their behavior that this still keeps happening and they get away with it
@@ptfsCentral So by “us children” you’re confessing to be a bully? Gotcha. If so, no, I don’t care what you “go through”. It doesn’t give you the right to harass people
As a victim of bullying myself that I grew up having low self esteem, I feel sorry to the parents and siblings of this young lad. You didn't deserve to see how cruel the world is at young age.
I hope your self esteem has improved and I am sorry you were bullied and sorry for all of the kids that are bullied. Far too many children have committed suicide and it's way past time for the bullies to pay a price for their cruelty. They need to be arrested, indicted, tried and imprisoned for a substantial amount of time.
I'm 58 from the uk & I'm not ashamed to say that I'm crying while i write this. This is heartbreaking. I am sending my condolences to sammy's family & friends. Sweet dreams Sammy, they cant hurt you anymore.
The families? So you’re saying the families of the bullies should be held accountable for their CHILDREN’S decision? Children do a TON of things behind their parents backs and you think they should be held accountable. Fucking disgusting.
Older sister here. My younger sister (and amazing female role model) ended up passing away from suicide last summer. My parents saw the warning signs and for some reason chose to ignore it. Suicide is in some ways the most painful death, because we all feel like we could’ve prevented it. I will never forget reading her last text sent to me at night, explaining that she’s sorry, and how “she hopes we can move on from the pain just like we always told her to”. She had a beautiful passion to help children that I’ve never seen in anyone else. She would’ve been devastated to see this little boy pass away. My sister was 14 years old….. RIP Athena, the kindest girl I ever knew, who had ideas that could’ve saved many, but were instead completely forgotten. 8/21/23 💚💚💚
@@darrylbrown8253 I don't know about that. They were once kids too and were bullied too. So we don't know their fully story. So don't judge them just because their bikers.
@@BlackCatFilmProductions oh please give me a break. Never met a biker that was bullied as kid. If you meet one please introduce him to me because he is a weak biker. That is the lamest approval of gang. I bet you wouldnt say that if it was bloods and crips did the same thing. This riding of the bikes doesnt impress me. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
And THIS is why I don't like it when I hear older people whining that "these kids are sooooo weak and lazy!!" I'm 44 and can't even imagine growing up these days with cameras everywhere. The bullying was relentless when I was an adolescent, and it wasn't even a word then. These kids have enormous pressure on them, and while they have no more maturity than we did, now they have resources for permanent consequences. God bless this family, and God help us all.
My son is 10 and he is very calm, kind and nice kid, few kids tried to bully him, he told me everything and I said to him to start defending himself (thanks to jujitsu), I gave him my permission to fight back. And he did, he kicked their asses and since then no one mess around with him. Bullies are gross without self respect and self esteem. Kids who get bullied should fight back, whatever it takes. And kids who bully others should spend a day in juvenile jail just so they could see where they will end up if they don’t stop being shitty
Nice, that probably is the best solution to end bullying because schools and teachers never give a damn about their students when it comes to bullying. Now every kid is going to be scared of your son lmao 😂
He was in the principal’s office few times because of fights and he told them, for example, one time a kid was choking him and he fought back and punched him in the face and got in trouble. It wasn’t fair because school knew that he wasn’t the one who started it all, that he was defending himself but school didn’t care. But for me it’s better to see him in the principal’s office than seriously injured or God Forbid dead.
So sad! I hate bullies! I wasn’t really bullied in school but just totally ignored! No one saw me or talked to me. Not even teachers. Never went on a date never asked to the prom. Absolutely silence. So I hope maybe someone who reads this might ask a fellow classmate to sit and have lunch with them. So sorry for this poor little guy and his heartbroken family!
It seems like bullying has gotten worse with the amount of social media being used as a weapon. Like instead of typical name calling and exclusion, social media is used to humiliate kids and start rumors.
@@amylee8969 and my school's policy was always "if it happens outside of my classroom, i can't do anything about it" which is absolutely trash. if something happened during lunch or playtime, none of the teachers would do anything about it even though they were there. when other kids said they were getting cyber bullied by classmates at school, the faculty would just say since it happens outside of school, they can't punish the kids.
@amylee8969 That's true. Those of us who were kids before social media could at least go home and get away from the bullying for a while. Kids can't escape it now, it's terrible.
No parents should bury their child. It's so sad that 10 year olds had to go to a funeral for another 10 year old. May the family find peace. Sammy RIP.
Why continue sending a bullied child to a school that supposedly ignores 20 complaints from parents. So many people in this country have zero discernment.
The siblings were passing the phone to this baby. Letting the bully get to him on the weekends while the parents "were just in the other room" direct quote from the dad and brother.
Whenever I hear about children who die because of bullying--either by suicide or physical injuries--I wonder what goes through the minds of the bullies. I realize that they probably don't care, but I still wonder if any of them feel.....anything?
Some don't care. I remember this video of a 10 year old girl who took her life due to bullying and they continued to make fun of her even after she died. So sad
thats not true some are raised wrong and turn out just fine some are raised right and they become evil monsters, the parent's input is just a factor nothing more
Enough of mourning. Who knows how many people are genuinely there for the kid or just to console themselves. We want to see action to prevent a similar case from occurring! What has the school done? Who was held accountable? How are we going to identify and prevent bullying from occurring to this extent in the future?
It’s called, firmly standing up to the problem. And quite frankly, the problem are the “adults” involved at schools. Who don’t do nothing!!. But teachers, and staff would like a raise. Yet, can’t even put the safety, security, and well being of young children and teens at the forefront.
@@hurleygonzalezWhy is up to the schools to PARENT kids? To teach them right from wrong? It’s all I ever see in these cases-the school failed, the teachers failed, the administration failed! What are about failure of PARENTS in being there (get off the damn phone) and teaching THEIR children how to be stronger and deal with this????? Parents NEED TO PARENT!! A good amount of the blame and responsibility for this lays on THEM, not a school.
@@user-jc8rz2jj9r There is some truth, to your perspective on emotional and positive parental impact. But, at the same time you’re missing one key aspect in this. From an environment standpoint, Public Schools especially Elementary/Primary aren’t safe to begin with. Because, of the society we currently live in the USA with gun-violence. Therefore, the last thing a child or teen needs is to be put in danger by some cruel bullies. Who’s, parents obviously neglected and failed them at. In teaching necessary, respect and manners. You also need to acknowledge, that we’re in School for 13-14 years of our lives for 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week. So, as it pertains to being a tutor, teacher, principal, counselor etc. As a profession, you must have a voice and show assertiveness when things turn downwards. School is no longer about academic knowledge or success. There must be a sense, of urgency in positive emotional security for the youth. And they’re, obviously failing massively at it.
@@user-jc8rz2jj9r so many problems in society today start with only taking kids to school and giving them 3 meals a day. So many parents sit in front of the tv or sit on the phone but never talk to their kids. “Don’t let it bother you” or “tell the teacher” is not what you tell a child being bullied. But it’s often how a lot of parents address it.
Exactly! Parents should be held accountable for this. If the adults in their life cannot raise a child correctly to know right from wrong, who else will?
I’m from greenfield, I went to school in the greenfield central school corporation, bullying is rampant and this isn’t the first case, they always sweep it under the rug, please if you see this do anything in your power, write an email, message a representative, anything possible to get rid of Dr Olin the super intendant
How does a 10 year old take his own life?! Very sad. Some children are more sensitive and can’t cope with the cruelty that children often inflict upon one another. Us adults need to do better. Children aren’t born bullies, they are taught by example.
@@SYDAirlineEnthusiastI'm pretty sure the "how could he take his own life" question was rhetorical since there are countless ways for someone to die. I interpreted it as "how could it get so bad that he resorted to suicide at 10 years old"
@@lynn-marieflechner5406 Ya you can. Zero tolerance is a myth. If it was real bullies wouldn't exist. If they can get away with violence so can you. I used to get bullied as a kid until I started punching back. After a while they left me alone when they realized getting punched in the mouth hurts.
This is why we push so hard for anti-bullying. Bullying doesn't "toughen up" a kid, it just makes life more difficult. To a still-forming brain, the difficulty is incredibly more hard to deal with.
Yeah that’s what I like to know. It’s sad to realize that their only form of punishment might be like 3 days if suspension. The school board needs to take protecting kids more seriously. It’s also teachers and other staff who are getting physically hit and abused by students. Not ok.
I’m sorry but how did they bully this kid? If he went to suicide then the kids shouldn’t get punished severely for it unless their actions were terrible. Bullying happens you can’t blame them if the other people end their lives. Should we blame the girls who cause their boyfriends to take their lives when they break up.
@Bro-dot- I don’t think the kid would’ve considered ending his life is the actions of the bullies was NOT terrible and severe. The kids anger, sadness, and low self-esteem could’ve been building up to the point where he couldn’t take it anymore. So yes! Bullies DO need consequences. Suicide or not, it’s not ok for them to get away with it and go into doing the same thing to other kids! Without consequences, kids will never learn and grow.
@@amylee8969 Absolutely do they need consequences but they shouldn’t be held responsible for the kid taking his life, that was his choice alone. A choice he sadly felt was the only path because he was made to feel hopeless. I personally know a kid when I attended school who took his life because his girlfriend broke up with him, nothing more, hence why I used that example. Some people really do take their lives for things we would consider insignificant. The kid probably suffered from severe social or psychological disabilities which drove him to do such an extreme thing at the age of 10. Screw the bullies but in the matters when the child takes their life then I ask where was the support and love from their family? I know no kid who would take their life from bullying alone unless their own family also made the kid feel isolated.
@@B00M393Yeah a life where he was harassed and bullied every day of his life to the point where he wanted to kill his own self. You about narrow minded af ain’t ya? 😂
@@B00M393 what would you have done in the situation? I've been bullied. I've considered k1lling myself many, many times. I've attempted to a few times as well. Mostly because of bullying, but my health issues as well. My own mom said I'd burn in h3ll if I k1lled myself, and my dad said I was a disappointment. Not everyone knows how to deal with things, and if the school had done something, as well as the parents of the bullies, Sammy would still be with us right now. Show some respect for him. He felt this was the only way out.
@@spencercorby4571 man up find god only way to deal with a bully is by fighting, win, lose, or draw. no man on this earth should ever make you to wanna kys no offense but you have a weak mind if you really wanted to kys over “bullying” No man should ever allowed himself to be bullied in the first place. This generation is soft by allowing other people to control them the only man more powerful than us is god.
i am sorry for your plight. we live in a somewhat evil planet where ppl are forced to kill to survivuse e and treat others like trash to get ahead. it seems designed this way. you must kill to eat and the less you do the more hungry you become and desperate. this is an evil planet designed to cause misery between living beings
Hey man I’m sorry that you’re going through a rough time. Just know that whatever they may say or do, do not give into them, do not let them win. Always talk to someone even if it may seem helpless or useless. The more people that know, the closer you can get to stopping it. And finally just know that you don’t deserve to be treated like that. You are a beautiful human being and deserve respect. Keep fighting back against them.
Every kid deserves to be able to get through school peacefully and with out being harassed by other students, all children must be kept safe whether its at school or at home. Rest in peace little man.😥

This is heartbreaking...i wonder how many of those kids attending the funeral could have helped this little boy against the bullies...a bit late for tears...the parents should sue the school and the parents of the bullies who drove a 10 year old to do this
I’m just astounded that a child as young as 10 would take his own life. If this is the level of brutality that students are having to face in school today, I cannot even imagine what it will be like for future generations.
He reminds so much like me when I was kid. Wearing eyeglasses which I’m stiml wearing it on my 30's and beautiful smile. I was really fortunate that I didn’t get bullied or harrased. More like little mocking
@@charleynewman4783No. Do you seriously believe all G-d cares about is belief in one of his supposed forms? It doesn’t matter the kind of person you are? G-d cares far more about righteousness and what is inside someone’s heart. Someone who stands up for good and against evil. Someone who is loving and kind. Someone who tries their best in the most genuine way they can. Do you really think this beautiful child doesn’t deserve to go to Heaven if he didn’t believe Jesus was the messiah? How about all of the other children and adults around the world that have pure hearts of gold? Is there no justice for evil people who do evil things as long as they declare Jesus as their messiah? That makes no sense. G-d is just, and what you have described is not justice. I hope your comment doesn’t hurt anyone who’s currently grieving.
My son is 10 yrs old and this hits home! I am so sorry for your loss! My heart and prayers are with your family! I pray your family has some kind of peace. I can’t imagine how this little boys parents must be feeling at this time! Truly breaks my heart! These kids in todays world are so very cruel and these schools do nothing and I mean NOTHING about it!! My children have a horrible time at the school they attend now an it truly feels like this school just turns a blind eye.
As a mother of a bullied child, my heart is broken into pieces. Sammy was worth so much.. but you’re right, SCHOOLS AND PARENTS OF BULLIES DO NOTHING!!! They put up the “no bullying zone” or “ zero bullying policy “ signs and never stand behind them! I didn’t know Sammy personally, but there’s so many things I wish I could have said to him. 😰
@@RememberTheLord they won’t attend the schools around here next year. This year was a little different for us like a stepping stone. They’ve been raised in a county school and will be going back to a county school this coming year. I originally kept them out of these schools when they started kindergarten. I thought it would be this way an unfortunately I was right. I truly pray for all the parents of children like Sammy’s!!! He was a beautiful child!! 🙏🙏🙏
The school board needs to stop being scared of angry entitled Parents as if they run the school. Schools need to put their foot down when it comes to these kinds of parents who feel entitled to things they don’t deserve….like allowing their badly behaved kids to have special treatment.
One of the saddest things I’ve ever seen in my 68 years on earth. God bless Sammy, and God bless all the children who are enduring bullying right now. May God change the hearts of the bullies to become loving, kind hearts.
When your own family is not protecting you standing up for you, that's how you will feel. You will have nowhere to go & in order to put an end to this torture & trauma you put an end to your life. How sad the young lad couldn't find a way out so he chose this..... absolutely tragic
Some of them looked a little too eager to be putting flowers on his casket. And wearing T-shirts to a funeral? Really?? I know they're just kids but come on. Their parents signed off on this apparently.
@@mattr.1887really though can no one even be bothered to dress nice for a freaking funeral? Nike shirts and the dye?? These parents have No class whatsoever. 10 year olds killing themselves? Our world is in such decline.
Heartbreaking, no one was able to tell him it does get better. 10 is so young to be driven to such an act. We clearly need an age limit for accessing social media. No one under the age of 16 should be allowed on it. I think even that is too young.
Agreed. 21 and over, that’s what it should be. Let people grow up normal like we had to and then they can socialize on it once their brain is developed.
Make sure he knows that you won't overreact too. I had a couple of bad assaults when I was in grade school and I never told my dad because I knew how angry he would get. I also knew the catholic school wouldn't do anything because they always said "boys will be boys" anytime something happened.
It is horrendous that a young boy has died. How does a 10 year old know what suicide is? I had absolutely no clue at that age. No clue until I was well out of puberty. Other info is missing here.
They might not know what it is called, but through being constantly bullied and ridiculed they no longer mean anything good to anyone so they probably think they should just die. Our middle child was being bullied so badly in school his mental health took a huge nose dive, so I pulled him out and he homeschools now. From the time our kids were born I made sure they knew how precious they are. However, I am positive that if we would have kept him in school, he would have committed suicide as well. I don't think it's so much that the bullying is going on in the schools because it has been since any of us were even on this earth yet. The difference is kids are no longer allowed to stand up to bully's. They get in big trouble if they do. So they just have to let the bullying happen and take it. In my son's case, the bullies were very sneaky about it so the teachers didn't even know it was happening.
@@jennifer7648 For children who are ganged-up on, the main concern is that any attempt at defense would be treated as provocation for more violence. Surely you remember being a kid. School felt like the entire universe and it is easy to feel like there is no way out. A breakup with someone in 6th grade can make a kid feel like they will never love again. This is true across generations.
You don't actually have to know what suicide is to feel bad enough to want to do that. Still, it is suspicious. The parents say they limited phone/Internet usage but somehow the kid was still being bullied on Snapchat. My suspicion is that they weren't actually watching or they didn't take it seriously.
@@BrilliantHandle He was bullied on Snapchat? You wanna know how I was bullied in the 70's? There would be a group of kids waiting for me to exit the school to then grab me and drag me into the nearby woods and then proceed to beat on me and/or give me a wedgie. This happened to millions of other kids but none of us ever killed ourselves.
@@ronbloombergAre you really trying to claim there were no kids that killed them self from bullying in the 70s? That’s laughable considering a simple google search shows that the rate of suicide amongst youth has been increasing since the 70s bullying being one of the issues. Btw this is not a comparison about who has/had it worse. I hope when I’m as old as you that I’m not so jaded that I come to a video of a kid that killed himself and start spouting off nonsense like you.
This bullying crap has got to stop. Parents need to be held responsible for these creeps. It absolutely breaks my heart that a 10 year old child would even think about ending their precious life. I hope they find the monsters who killed him. RIP Little man !!
This story rips my soul apart. I wish the family peace if they can find it somehow. And a life of misery for the bullies and their families and the schools that allow this to happen.
I know from experience bullying sucks. I'm bullied everyday. I won't let the bullies win though and continue living. Go ahead and keep bullying me make me stronger. Society is the flames that forge me to be a stronger man.
This is so sad and hurts so much !!! No kid should have to go through this kind of hurt ever !!!! These schools are evil and Wicked !! And the devil is running ramped through this kids in public school !!!
Schools say they don't allow bullying, but the sad truth is they can't do anything to stop it. It happened to my son in 2nd grade. I was lucky enough to have the resources to put him in private school and it may have saved his life. God bless this poor little family. I'm heart broken.
I was picked on, teased, taunted etc at that age.. I ate a bunch of my moms heart medicine and ended up in a coma a short while. Then sent to a psyc hospital of course. When your that age and have to endure that daily, you will do anything to stop it. I want the parents to know..THEY did nothing wrong! My son is the same age as theirs was...we switched to homeschooling about 2 years ago, he was being picked on and some other issues. * He's a " unique " kid, I think he is very cool 😎 However..traits that are cool to adults..are often not cool to other KIDS. A love for History. A facination with motorcycles( biker family) Testing EXTREMELY well on standardized testing Unusual mechanical abilities My son is doing wonderful at homeschooling. Enjoys friends at his Karate school. Etc. I understand homeschooling isn't an option for everyone, but for some of the kids suffering, whoms parents have that choice, it can be a God send. Prayers for all the unique kids, that ARE wonderful, but just don't " fit in"
Administrators/leaders at schools need to drop their negative egos directed to teachers/others and start listening to the teachers/others when concerns are being voiced about bulling and other major concerns...I've been there and seen it.
It was so sad seeing his family and friends crying. He was only 10, he deserved better. Bullying should absolutely be stopped. Just one act of kindness could’ve saved this boy’s life.
If you find out that your child is being bullied NEVER stop advocating for their justice. When i was in highschool, i was bullied and my mother called the school and advocated for me. These principals are beyond lazy when it comes to things like this. If you have to call the superintendent DO IT. If you have to use social media or leverage the local news DO ITTT. Never get off their necks because if you stay silent i promise you they will brush it under the rug. My mom calling did not 100% stop the bullying but it let me know that someone was on my side and I truly believe it lessened the amount of trauma i may have experienced otherwise. Just a little more support could have saved this young boy's life. Stand up for each other, teach your kids, AND ADVOCATE FOR THEM.
This is why #alllivesmatter no matter what #endbullying, I was bullied when I was a kid and it still makes me sick, whoever did this to him should be charged with manslaughter or file a federal lawsuit.
I feel sorry for todays kids in a way. Bullying seems to be way worse than it was like 20+ years ago. Especially with social media and technology. Sure kids were mean in the 90s and 2000s too, but at least there was no pressure to look “perfect” like what’s shown on social media.
Im tired of seeing these younger people die like this. Im only 18 and been going through it since i was 8. I wanted to give up so bad. And im surprised im still here.
Stop trusting schools with your kids. Your kids should be the most valuable thing to you, and you’re not weak for wanting to protect them from other people’s lousy, undisciplined, and abusive kids.
Wow that is incredible that 200 would show as they did. I could not even begin to understand what that loss must feel to his parents. They need to start having more staff on the school grounds before after and the bus ride home! just maybe we will hear that bullying is downand less suicides
I am so very sorry for your loss! I can not imagine the pain you all must be going thru. I can only imagine how it would feel to lose such a sweet boy! Many prayers being sent your way!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
