Ohio sixth-grade teenager commits suicide after his family says he was bullied at school | Daily Mail Online
An Ohio sixth-grader has taken his own life after his parents say the school refused to intervene when he was being bullied.
Aaron Fuller, 13, was found with a belt around his neck in his bedroom in the Northwood neighborhood of Toledo on January 11, his family said.
School bullies had told him to kill himself online, his father, Steven Fuller, told the Toledo Blade.
'[The bullying] has to stop. People have to learn,' Steven said.
'These kids aren’t just getting bullied, but they know if they go say something to a teacher or someone else, they’re the next one who is going to get picked on or beat up.
On the night Aaron died, Steven and Aaron's stepmother, Tami, had left him home alone with his older brother, Joseph, for about 45 minutes while they went to pick up dinner, they said.
When they returned, the found him dead. Joseph, 15, is the one who found him, after going upstairs to get him when Aaron didn't come downstairs when he was called to come eat.
Steven said that Aaron had been repeatedly bullied at Lake Middle School, and used to defend himself, but that classmates said recently he had stopped sticking up for himself.
Instead, Aaron had taken to sitting quietly in the cafeteria while he was attacked, and teased over things like forgetting money and not packing a lunch, and the clothes that he wore, his family said.
Eventually, Steven said, Aaron would storm out of the lunchroom to avoid the abuse.
Just hours before his death, Steven had grounded Aaron for taking $135 that was supposed to have been used to pay for a school camping trip to deposit money on his school lunch account.
Once the bullying escalated to social media comments urging Aaron to kill himself, Steven went to the school.
According to the Fullers, the school district told them there was nothing that could be done because Aaron had participated in the online exchange.
