A 10-year-old Indiana boy committed suicide after being viciously bullied at school for a year, spotlighting the critical importance of protecting our children.
Sammy Teusch, a fourth-grader at Greenfield Intermediate School, was bullied over his looks right up until the night before he killed himself, his parents told WTHR-TV.
Sam and Nichole Teusch said their son killed himself on the morning of Sunday, May 5.
“I held him in my arms,” his dad said. “I did the thing no father should ever have to do. And anytime I close my eyes, it’s all I can see.”
“He was my little boy,” Sammy’s mom told WTHR. “He was my baby.”
The disconsolate parents said they had complained 20 times about the bullying, which began last year in elementary school and continued this year at Greenfield Intermediate School.
“They were making fun of him for his glasses in the beginning, then on to make fun of his teeth,” his father said. “It went on for a long time.”
Sammy’s dad said the bullies also insulted the boy’s mom and repeatedly threatened to beat him up.

The nonstop verbal harassment then escalated into violence, his dad told WTHR.
Do you believe bullying is a growing problem in America?
“He was beat up on the school bus, and the kids broke his glasses and everything,” Sam Teusch said.
“And I called the school and I’m like, ‘What are you doing about this? It keeps getting worse and worse and worse. And it’s not getting any better. It’s getting worse,’” the dad recounted.
The school district’s superintendent, Harold Olin, told WTHR the parents never submitted a bullying report.
“But he also said the school’s administrators and counselor had regular conversations with the family throughout the year, though he can’t share the content of those conversations,” according to the outlet.
Sammy’s father said the school was well aware his son was being constantly harassed.
“They knew this was going on,” Teusch said. “They knew this was going on.”
There are no words to adequately convey how heartbreaking this tragedy is.
Public schools these days rabidly push toxic left-wing propaganda such as critical race theory and transgenderism while doing little to stem the epidemic of school bullying.

A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them.
Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal.
And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people.
The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.
We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.
But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight.
The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help?
With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans.
We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
