Nate Bronstein's suicide followed what his parents say was ongoing cyber bullying from boys at the private Latin School of Chicago.
CHICAGO -- The parents of a 15-year-old student at Latin School of Chicago who died by suicide are now taking legal action against the school."He was very sweet, very kind," said Rose Bronstein, his mother."He had a really big heart, he always worried about others."
Nate had transferred to Latin last fall. His parents said he thrived at previous school, but his experience at Latin was much different. The Bronsteins said the texting thread culminated with a Snapchat that circulated throughout Latin and other high schools."He received a Snapchat from a student saying, 'go kill yourself," his mother said,"and that student is still in school."
The Bronsteins said they brought numerous complaints or concerns to the school and they feel they weren't sufficiently addressed.
