Sammy's dad Sam and brother Xander join NewsNation host Jesse Weber to discuss: "I really hope Sammy's story has a change in all of your lives so nobody will ever have to go through this again. I hope you remember Sammy forever," Xander said on "Banfield."

The kids who bullied him should be held accountable.
WHAT??? what you talking bout, willace??
and the parents of those kids!
@@noelhernandez363You heard her.
...ya don't saaaay...
@@shantishanti1949 It's not "likely" There are many children who bully and their parents do not condone it at all.
“10 year old” and “suicide” should never be put in the same sentence together. My heart goes out to this family. Rest in peace lil guy.
It's crazy to me that a 10yo can even think about that stuff. even crazier trying to imagine what he did to take his own life....
@@Cangaca777 right :(

A young Gary Busey may have had similar teeth. Tragic situation.
Bullying should be considered assault.
Absolutely!!
More like harassment should be taken more seriously. This sort of thing should be considered high tier harassment
Touch grass. LOL
Absolutely. There needs to be examples made and repercussions for the bullies that do this crap to other children. This situation is just like the one with stalkers and no real protections from them. It's past time to get some new laws in both those areas.
@Ultimate-Guardian. Soooo edgy. 🙄 Anonymously harassing strangers in the comments under a video about a dead child. What an absolute badass you must be.
At a school about 15 minutes away from me, a boy was severely bullied. The kids mentally torturing this poor boy were telling him to kill himself. He managed to bring a gun into the school and shot himself in the head in the lunch room in front of his entire class. This happened roughly two years ago and he was I believe 13 at the time. This is a serious issue not being taken seriously.
I can't imagine this....I don't live in the US...a 13 yr old doing this is a pure horror to experience I guess...just unimaginable!!!
He pointed that gun in the wrong direction. Honestly. RIP to him
Could've been worse. Seen few people blow up in anger and pain taking it out on others.
When bullying leads to suicide, as it often does, murder charges should be filed.
I wholeheartedly agree. However, we need to go farther, by making bullying a criminal offense not only in schools, but in society and in the workforce, etc.
THIS
You want to charge 12 year olds with murder.
@@aussie8114 uhh yes? Maybe they shouldn't bully people too suicide??? Like wym they're obviously aware of what they did.
10 an 12 were charged for killing a 3 year old. Do research. Idc what age u are.
Bullies raise bullies. Period.
Exactly. Abused kids lash out at others because they are always on the receiving end of whatever mom or dad throws at them.
Absolutely
I’m sorry but I have to say your pfp is A1
😞
True. I've always struggled with the concept that bullies are victims because in their heads they are picked on. When someone has you in a full Nelson and is stuffing you in a locker [I'm speaking from my experience], it's really hard to empathise with a bully
Let me tell you something, words DO HURT. After my Sister died, I was 10 and she was 12. My fellow schoolmates said "I'm glad your Sister is dead". I was 10!!!!! Nothing either could or would be done. I HATED those kids. They made me feel suicidal and homicidal towards them. I'd much rather get punched in my face, than to have half the things said to me that was said to me. That sticks with you. I'm 33, and it STILL sticks with me. It changed me entirely as a person.
I can't even begin to imagine what this Family is going through. Just absolutely HEARTBREAKING. 💔😿 R.I.Paradise, Sammy. And Prayers for his beautiful and sweet Family, friends, and pets. 🙏🏻🤍
Agree very similar story and when we was bullied the school did nothing . See school blaming this kid school needs to be prosecuted
I've been physically sexually and mentally abused it's sad to say I rather get beat because years of mental abuse u believe the lies low self esteem had a suicide attemt sometimes surviving is a huge job on its own and it gets hard with so much hate in the world
Words hurt for ever! I never forgot the cruel treatments from kids growing up.
Im so sorry for your loss and cruel treatment
That's horrible😢 What is wrong with people?!
“He’d grown into his teeth”. This was me as a kid. I’m a women now but I was bullied for my front teeth. I did grow into mine!
I’ve had to tell my kids this too and they to grew into theirs.
Dad…..please do NOT listen to the trolls. You can not. No one has lived your life. It is YOURS & yours alone! They didn’t live your life.
This is NOT your fault!
It’s NOT.
The school lied to you. Plain and simple. They didn’t take care of anything.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m praying God gives you strength.
Mine aren't even straight. From thumbsucking. Like honestly. I wish people would leave others alone! My son has big teeth too. He's 7. I think they're perfect. I'd love to have his. I hate bullies!!
I had a boyfriend in fourth grade who had teeth that didn't fit his face. He is so damn handsome now!
It just blows my mind that a 10-year-old would even consider doing that, it's so very sad. The kindhearted people are always targets of wicked bullies. Sincere condolences to the family.
Good always suffer under the hands of evil men
My first suicide attempt was at 8. Life can be hard at any age and kids don’t have the tools to mentally deal with it.
@@ladyphillips5065how old are you now? GOD BLESS YOU DEAR ONE... YOU ARE ENOUGH. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU ARE LOVED. ❤🙏
Kids are smarter than we think. My son was bullied for 4 months this year. He suffered in silence for months and didn't tell a soul. He changed completely. He was very moody, kept a bad attitude, and didn't want anyone to talk to him or bother him. His grades dropped. He was faking sick so he didn't have to go to school. The 4 little kids were telling my son to go off himself & other ways to die. They are learning at a very young age nowaday...It's sad! Smh!It's just heartbreaking 💔 😢! It crushed him and myself. Children can be so hateful and mean. My son is the sweetest 11yro you will probably ever meet. He has a big heart. He loves to make friends with everyone. He is very social. Smart. The last thing I ever thought would happen, did! I was so glad my son broke down and told me what was going on at school. I was able to save my son b4 it was too late. My heart breaks for this family. 💔 Truly does.
I really hope these sob's pay dearly for what they did to this poor child. This pisses me off to no end. RIP precious angel😢
The bully needs to have criminal charges brought up.
They will be 10 years old too. I am unsure if 10 year olds can be charged.
Definitely
@kenn1936 well they still need to be published
@@kenn1936thought he said 12 years old. 12 year olds should know better and yes should beheld accountable.
They won't! 💯 makes me sick !! Even the 7 girls that left a voice-mail on our phone telling us she WOULD bring a pew pew to school and she didn't care who else they got. I PROMISE you they did NOTHING. We physically stopped sending her when we caught her biting herself . We gave them 24 hrs to find her suitable schooling that they could 💯 guarantee her safety. That's exactly what they did at no cost to us.. meetings, evidence, all of it and they didn't care til we stopped sending her and look, in 24 hrs had they not we were going public with everything . They actually kept it up on the school computers after she transferred , BUT , the Mrs started showing up on doorsteps VERY angry amd aggressive of ya know what I mean. that's when it actually came to a complete end. Sometimes u just gotta whip that arse of the parents to let em know u ain't doing this garbage to my child anymore. 💯
What a loving father this man is. It’s heartbreaking that this sweet little boy felt suicide was the only way to get away from those evil children.
i’ve been severely bullied, and attempted my freshman year of high school. 10 years old is so heartbreaking, at that age i couldn’t even fathom such a thing. rest well sweet sammy
This is horrible. I would sue the school. It should be ZERO tolerance for bullying. My heart goes out to the family. HUGS
Absolutely.
I agree. There needs to be responsibility. The parents are amazing. They are not responsible. The school is responsible. And the bullies. Sue the bullies parents.
How much more can teachers do? They are there to teach. How much more do we add to their workload? Hire a special force but don’t ask teachers to be cops now too. We have an epidemic of horrible parents in America. They send spoiled entitled unmannered brats to school. Or they abuse them and send traumatized kids to school
🙌🏽💯💯💯💯
Teachers can REPORT teachers can intervene
Teachers can protect
Blaming the dad is also a form of bullying. Don’t blame dad. He seems like a wonderful father.
I concur
The father and mother seem so strange when they talk about him. They should be so truly sad but they both sound like actors.
@@hyanothawhat is wrong with you?
@@jkingston5498seriously.
Dad should of been there for his son. My son was bullied in school too, i listened and confronted his bully. I scared him, and he NEVER bullied my son again.
As a mom of a 10 yr old boy this breaks my heart. He was beautiful. Parents, teach your kids not to start it but to get mean in order to finish it.
RIP little man. There’s no bullying in heaven.🙏🙏
SHAME on every parent who does NOT teach their children to ALWAYS be kind.
Those days of teaching our children went out with spankings. .I can def see God's POV..
Amen!!
They learn this behavior from their rotten parents.
The parents have to know kindness to teach kindness to their children.
Most bullies come from unhappy homes, neglect, abuse. They don’t have parents who care to listen to them. So they act out, hurting others the way they feel hurt.
sure but there's a flip side to that too. parents miss teaching their kids emotional resilience and how to cope with social ills to the point that a kid would take their own life. there is responsibility there too
Everyone who sent him a bullying text should be prosecuted
Freedom of speech. Some need to learn to live with it or move somewhere it doesn't exist.
@@RevToxfreedom of speech does NOT apply to contacting people via text and being cruel - that is hate speech - if you think it is ok to drop into a persons personal communication app to bully them - PLEASE DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN
That's ironic isn't it? Adults bullying a bunch of 10 year olds via the court system because they bullied another kid. There are more sensible ways to handle this.
@@RevTox that's not what you say to children, dude. They don't have the capacity to navigate negative feelings. Please don't have kids.
Yes. Where’s the consequences to actually bring awareness
I have two boys. And was bullied growing up. Kids can be evil. Do not underestimate what your kids are at school doing. They are not little angels out of your sight! Proactively work through these things with them! Zero tolerance should be had as a parent for this kind of behavior!
I’m hurting for this family.
This is absolutely crushing. I can’t believe how this continues to happen. Parents have to teach their kids that bullying and harassment is wrong.
Every "child" that bullied this young boy are murderers!
Absolutely ❗️😡
You are correct
Their parents need to be held accountable for this. They are the reason their children are bullies!
@@jlongino51823the welfare job teachers are even more to blame
Every teacher in ther collecting their welfare check to "educate" these children need to face 10-15 years.
They seem to think they're a part of American society
Yes. And they need to know and feel the consequences. Sad.
My daughter was bullied and the school guidance counselors told me i should medicate her!🤬 That was the day i pulled her out of public school and put her in private school. Was so hard to pay for it, i struggled for years! My heart goes out to this family 💔😪 parents teach your kids NOT TO BE BULLIES!! 😥
Exactly! The school never takes responsibly. They blame the victim
@@makt122happends in my country
They can't if they are bullies themselves. So many jerky parents in America. It's a national crisis. Horrible parenting.
Great decision
I understand every school is different, but did that end up being a better decision for your family? I work in public schools and am leaving after this semester and now, I am unsure if I ever want my kids in public schools because of it. I'd love to hear your experience
We also need to put a stop to Workplace Bullying
I have two sons that have lost three friends by suicide in the last 5 years, all because of bullying. Something needs to change
12 years old is old enough to know how to be a kind and good person.
The bullies and their parents should be held accountable.
Based on the number of times the parents reported this to the school, *the only possible explanation is that the school was actively allowing this to happen.* If I warn you about something 10+ times and you take no action to prevent it, I can only assume you want it to happen. Because *if you didn't want it to happen, you would be doing something about it!!!*
Agreed
It is also old enough to understand the pain that their bullying is causing as well. They may not realise that their behaviour could push someone to take their own life to escape the misery, but bullies, at that age and even younger, know that they are making their victim's life an absolute nightmare and bullies thrive on that. I understand how Sammy's dad feels but I hope that this hits his bullies hard, hard enough that they never dare treat any other person the way they treated him.
@@ianbattles7290 agreed
It would be difficult to keep it together. Not so much the feeling towards the bully(s) but toward the people who would raise kids like that. That's where I would consider venting.
Kids are kids? This wasn't just about a little teasing. The bullies behaviour was serious enough that a child took his own life. The bullies behaviour needs to be put in check immediately .
I agree 100%. Nip it in the bud the first time and take no enemies.
@KDMeowmmy but how? What do you do when the school lies about doing something about it? You can't go and beat up the kids even though they deserve it. So what do you do to nip it in the bud?
@@makt122Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
In this case I would have had words with the bully’s father.
@@makt122 I meant that if you know your child is a bully make sure that behaviour gets nipped in the bud. .
@@makt122 the bullies have to go to detention residence with counseling until the can stop preying on other children.the parents of bullies not able to parent well & their children harm others. Suspension should be done stop the bullies access to his enablers or gang…
This is a BRAVE dad and brother coming public this soon. I am a teacher in the Canadian public school system and really, really try to stop any bullying I see. There is no acceptable cause for it, ever.
I was bullied hardcore myself through grades 7-8 (at Christian private school, to all those who think that it’s *only* in public school). It impacts me to this day.
I teach a bunch of different grades, and the dad *nails* it about some kids thinking that “leading” means “being mean”. As young as possible-talking 5-6 years old-I want kids to hear the direct message from as many adults as possible that “being a leader” means kindness, helping, standing up for kids you see being bullied, etc.
My sincerest condolences to this whole family. This is so awful.
I must send heartfelt thanks to NewsNation for allowing the interviewer to let Sammy's father and brother express their feelings in such a beautiful and touching way. Often times, reporters cut people's comments short but this reporter did a marvelous job of letting them mourn as well as celebrate Sammy publicly. Listening to both of them was so fulfilling to us, as viewers. Xander's comments at the very end said everything that needed to be said about love, hope and light.
To those who bullied this young man you and your parents are horrible people
WOW, inciteful. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
@@jenniferyule8786That was a horrible thing to say.
It does starred in the home and for that reason, I agree with your comment
Start….not starred….auto correct
@@jenniferyule8786 Are you insecure?
Im tired of people thinking bullying is ok.
Totally AGREE ! That’s why we have so much ViOLENCE ! With THESE YOUNG ONES !!!
😢CHILDREN KILLING CHILDREN !!!
Is INSANE !!!’
I just can’t fathom it. Bullying a little kid because he was born looking a certain way….something he had zero control over. This little boy was more beautiful than those snotty brats could ever hope to be. 😒😔
Many parents can’t be bothered to parent. The school and bus drivers can only do so much to stop it. If the parents don’t think it’s a big deal then why would their kids stop? I had to cut ties with a “ friend” due to her not caring when her kids are brats. As long as they leave her alone she’s happy. Drive me nuts!
Agree with you 💯 also the bullies are made out to be the victims by do gooders.
@@shiralleehaggart72 exactly. It's a societal problem. The norm should be that bullies are the bad guys; that bullying is just as taboo as being a serial killer or a r@pist or a bedophile.
Absolutely heartbreaking. I’m so sorry to Sammy’s family. ❤
It's so horrible how parents allow their children to bully. I don't believe the parents didn't know. The parents and students who bullied him should be held legally responsible. RIP little angel. May God be with this dad and his brother.
"Hate caused this, and hate is not going to fix it" the strength that man has to say that is admirable.
Take the school, school district, county, and State to court over this. We need to stop the utter disrespect, and disregard, towards everyone....
Don't forget the parents. I'm sure the school contracted the parents and let them know about the pain their kid was causing
NO. THE RESPONABILITY ARE THE PARENTS...THEY NEED TO TEACH THEIR OWN KIDS DO NOT BULLIED OTHER KIDS. but our society are more concern when to buy the new phone, next other bullshit....THIS HAS TO STOP. WE HAVE THIS IN OUR HANDS NOT THE GOVERMENT....BECUSE THE GOVERMENT ARE STIIK KIDS IN ADOULT BODYS
@@mcruzsmith80 doubtful, at best...Schools notoriously love to brush off, and coddle the problems. This is not new to this country of ours
@@mcruzsmith80no the schools do not let the parents know, the school is 100 percent responsible for this, the teachers knew, but did nothing.. RIP little Man❤❤❤
@user-tc6hi9ns4j totally get it. I had to handle my daughter's bully myself. I went off on the kid and the mom for being racist and messing with my kid. They knew my husband was black but did not know mom was Mexican. Should've I cussed out the kid then mom in Spanish? Probably not. Do I regret it? Absolutely not. Did it happen again? Nope, mom transferred him to another school. This kid was about 6 or 7.
Our son was bullied in middle school. The principal did nothing. The parents, administrators and the bullies are all responsible. Thankfully , from my own childhood trauma, I saw the suicidal signs and got him counseling. Even if there are no signs, we have to advocate for our kids. Kids don’t often fight back because they are afraid they will be the ones to get in trouble. This happened with our son. He’s the one who got caught retaliating and got into trouble. We always told our son to use his words to tell the bullies that he doesn’t like it and to never start something. However, we also told him that we will always support him finishing it, even if he got in trouble. Our kids need to be equipped to handle this stuff and empowered to finish it.
As long as their getting paid and fulfilling the minimum requirements at their job, some teachers, admin, or superintendents don’t care. As long as it’s not their own kid, they don’t care!
@@amylee8969 Those same teachers, admin, or superintendents will make sure their kid has everthing handed to them on a silver platter.
I’m so sorry that you have had to go through this. I’m 73 and was bullied from the time I was 1st grade until we moved when I was 16. I was tormented every single day. It has had such a profound effect on my life! Moving saved me, but I had terrible low self esteem. My heart hurts for you.
You’re so right that the best way to bring change is to lead with love. I’m praying that you will be enveloped with and by Peace …
I’m so sorry. Kids can be so cruel.
Bullying should be crime that can be punishable
It’s SO SAD that bullying is still going on!😢 I Was Bullied for having Freckles of all things!🙄😢 And that was back in the late 70’s…until I graduated in 1990! This has to STOP NOW!!!!! Rip Sammy❤
That’s very tricky bc it can be a he said she said situation. When it’s well established as in this case then you have the potential to do something legally.
@@sdh4557 - Trust me…Bullying is Never a He Said She Said Thing!
@@michelleg4069 yes, it is.
Really? More laws? What are you going to do- throw a whole bunch of 10-year-olds in prison for being immature, stupid and mean?
Imagine taunting a 10 year old to the point where he kills himself. Shameful. The cruelty of man knows no bounds
Its horrible!
More than that...that behavior is celebrated by a lot of folks, particularly in the Corporate West. They think it is "weeding out the weak" from the gene pool.
As an adult who has struggled with suicidal ideation over a lifetime it breaks my heart just imagining a CHILD experiencing those same kinds of feelings. To be in an emotional place where dying seems the only way to make the pain go away is devastating. Man’s inhumanity to man seems to always win out. RIP🥀
My god it brings tears to my eyes. Life is SO unfair 😔😔
I really hope this family get the justice they deserve. The school, the bullies and most importantly the parents of the bullies need to be held accountable. These kids bring to the school what they see and hear at home.
Some teachers are bullies. Two of mine were bullied by teachers. One was an alcoholic.
The other was "afraid" of my son because he was so big. She screamed at him. I heard her
one day when I stood outside her schoolroom. Not all kids are bullies. But I feel really sorry
for you.
For him to have compassion for the bullies and not blaming them shows how big his heart is.
Please teach your kids to be kind to other kids ❤
Rest in heaven little Sammy 💐
If your child is feral, generally the parent is too.
@jenniferyule8786 he wasn't feral just frightened
@@selenaannesmith1604, I think she means that when a kid is a bully, the parent is more likely to be one as well. And if that’s what she meant, I agree with her 100%.
Most parents won’t acknowledge that they’re housing little monsters.
@@LluviadeOrugas I totally agree. If you try to talk to these parents they are usually all the same; they don't take any responsibility for their own or their child actions.
This father is SUCH a good man. Shame on the abusers.

He's weak

You might be surprised
Those kids who bullied this kid need life in prison
Damn this country. Enough of everyone saying that we all have to be “strong” and “tough it out.” If you say you’re hurting, then you’re called a whining “victim.” Tired of all that. I was bullied growing up and this hit hard.
10 year old boys shouldn’t commit suicide. Ever. Period.
School should be liable for bullying when it’s been reported
It is so sad to see after all this time that bullying is still such a serious issue. I had some amazing teachers and friends, but all it takes is just one bad apple to ruin everything. We need to fight against this by sharing our experiences and spreading the word as best we can. Back in my hellementary school days, there were a few teachers, 2 in particular, a couple, there last name being Cole, which was very fitting for their hearts, and as for the other, even though he wasn’t nearly as bad, he was still able to make my list due to his incredible ignorance, and 2 IAs, one in particular who was rarely around but was a much bigger bully, that were bullies along with 4 students in particular who were notably worse then the other bullies. I went through a lot, believe me. To top it all off there was this one time when I went to the principal's office to talk to the vice principal about the bullying from the teachers and other students and I was angry, sobbing and the works and I did not hold back on how I felt or on what I was saying, but little did I know that the system for the entire schools speakers was on, so everyone in the entire school heard everything.
Now, some of the things that was done to a good friend of mine, who has Cerebral Palsy, well, she had an instructional assistant, same one I had, who at times put the lock of her locker on backwards as she was being timed, sometimes also having her wear an intentionally heavy nap sack when she was walking with her crutches when she already had a hard enough time with nothing extra weighing her down, on the odd occasion had her crutches put towards the classroom door so she had to use the desks to balance herself to get to them, one day she slipped and fell in the mud on her way to one of the portables and she was forced to enter the classroom. As for me, I have roughly 30 regular sized pages with regular sized font single spaced. I think it was around 50 or so before it was edited for me of a bunch of the stuff that happened to me.
Anyways, after the schools PA system incident, the bullying got even worse. It did not matter that mom and dad called and tried to help. No one was able to do anything at all for me, nothing, I was a caged animal with no escape/no way to get any kind of help. Even now, emotional abuse is not something that the cops will typically intervene in. Then one day towards the end of the 7th grade I just snapped completely on one of the bullies, ripped his shirt, tackled him to the ground and would not stop going completely ballistic on him, just absolutely out of control. The lunchroom recess supervisor who basically did pretty much nothing against emotional bullying ended up pulling us apart and if she hadn't have stepped in then I would not have stopped as I had all those many times of rage being unleashed all at once.
The thing about these days is with the internet, social media, etc it just seems like there is a lot more evil stuff going on because it is a lot easier to uncover it, and kids/teens, as well as adults, seniors, etc need to be encouraged to stand up to bullies, if they can, and to stand up against bullying when they see it happen and to secretly record if things get bad enough. Recording live stream if possible just incase they get caught.having those recording being recorded to some secret place on the web that the victim can have access to those files when and if they ever need them. Recordings that will never be seen/known by the bullies if they do happen to snatch the recorder, if this advanced type of option is even possible.
As for the job end of things, with my second last boss he was a real master at manipulation. He could be anywhere from being one of the most vicious to one of the nicest/most loving people you have even met on the drop of a dime/flip of a switch and knew how to pull peoples mental/emotional strings, and believe me when I say that I make a really good target especially during some days when I was the first/only one there where at times there were alcohol and beer bottles over the floor and during those time especially he had the kind of rage that literally shook my body and went right through to my very soul.
One of the worst things that pretty much sums up modern day justice was when a fellow worker called workers rights and they gave the boss a 2 weeks advance notice of them coming by to inspect the place, obviously giving him enough time to make enough changes for as long as the inspections went on. He never had more than 4 people working since anymore than 4 would mean the occasional inspections. The worker who reported him got blacklisted and was not able to get another job, then one day we found out that he committed suicide.
I was mentally and emotionally trapped there for like 8 years and as such I have lots of stuff that I typed about that job/torments as well as a couple videos I made of shots that I took in secret, there was one time in particular where the boss, who was a strong guy took a large post and just chucked it at me in a way so it barely missed me.
School's can't stop kids from bullying other kids all the time. It should be their job to help and try to keep a lot of it from happening, but they will never stop it all.
@@RevTox They can do a far better job then what they are doing. Usually the bullies are treated like the victims while the victims are treated like the bullies.
My heart goes out to this family. 😢
All you need to do is get legislation passed to impose consequences on the parents of bullies. I can guarantee you that if parents can lose everything they have if their kid is a bully, they're going to work a lot harder at stopping that kid
What a tragic loss of a beautiful child.
😢Rest in Peace Sammy . GOD Bless your soul 🙏
Yes 😢💔🌺
Would his death be more tragic or less tragic if he was an ugly child? Think about what you're saying.
@@updownstate Every child is beautiful! Why are you trying to twist my words around? Mind your own business, stop being judgemental and think about what you just said!

I cannot stress this enough.

Sammy did not deserve all the torment and hate.
Heaven just gained a new angel.
R.I.P. Sammy.
I am still in shock that a 10 year is not only bullied to this point but also that he knows ways to take his life. Our children are robbed of their childhood. May he and his family find peace.
As he seemed to be bullied "to this point", It should be considered to find ways to change the culture of handling with each others better. Not only to teach children to be cer to each other. That would be much to less, I think.. How about th adult dealing with each other better? How about stopping some kinds of films, video games, abandon liberty of having (a) gun, individualism, not handling kids ncel, not wanting to see the causes of some "things" in society - an the souls of people...
That's the real problem is that kids are being robbed of there childhood
I found a list by my daughter when she was 11 about ways to kill yourself. Scared tf out of me.
Problem is these kid's get bullied in school go home and get bullied online. It's rent less. Something needs to be done.

I had experienced bullying during elementary and high school years .Kids are ruthless and relentless,I tried to fight back with them but they just wouldn’t stop .It was a trauma that I endured.I had experienced depression and social anxiety till today .I’m sorry for your loss ,he doesn’t deserve this .
My heart breaks for this child and his family. I was bullied as a child, as well. The school should be held accountable. They obviously didn't do anything to help.
My son is 30 years old now. He is still traumatized by school bullying. He was assaulted and had a gun pulled on him. He was taken out of school immediately and got his GED. School did NOTHING. RIP…
I am so sorry, and it does stay with you. Yes you grow up but some scars will never go away. I too was bullied and even by teaches. Sending many prayers and strength to find peace and self love. You do matter ! 🙏♥️💋
Peace and love to you ,the schools can't even educate any longer very sad
They never do shit. My daughter was bullied too and ostracized. Nothing nothing was done
@@fire12731 the school sent my son home after his head was bashed into a concrete wall by a violent student. No phone call. They let him take a bus home. I took him to the ER. They refused to remove the violent student so I removed my son from the school.
@@fire12731 I hope your daughter is ok…. Hugs 💕
As someone whose brother committed suicide I say to this father to put everything into your living son, Xander! Do not allow your grief to deprive that boy because it will destroy him! He's hurting like you are because he lost his brother. If you ignore his needs it will cause such a deep hole in him that he may never heal!
It will be easy for all of this attention to cause Xander to be lost in the background. Please! Please! Do not let that happen! You still have a beautiful child with you! Love him! Be close to him! Grieve but don't lose sight of the life that is still with you! Xander needs you more now than ever!
Good advice.
Agree !
Beautifully and compassionately said. I really hope Mr. Teusch reads your comment!
That’s the reason I am here today, I lost my 42 year old son this past Monday my heart is completely shattered. I have daughters alive that need me so I will be there for them.
❤
This father is way more forgiving than i think i could ever be. I want those children to remember the consequences of their words and actions.
Always remember you gave Sammy the most beautiful last day a kid could have ❤.
I wonder. Is it a cycle of abuse that leads to bullies being mean to their peers? What’s going on at home to make these kids so hateful? I remember being bullied but it never escalated to more than words until about 6th grade when a boy punched me on my arm and left a bruise. I stayed away from him but he kept bullying other kids. In 8th grade a boy would bully a lot of the girls but he began punching kicking one of the girls even more. I stood up and threatened him with a rock paperweight my teacher had on his desk. He backed off all while our teacher watched. Oftentimes teachers know what is happening and never act or choose to ignore it . RIP Sammy 💜
Schools need to address bullies with zero tolerance. My son, and two other boys, were bullied mercilessly. The school guidance counselor pulled the boys out of class to "teach" them how to handle the bullying. The bully NEVER had any consequences. Schools today are F'd up. DO BETTER.
They would just recommend medications to make them feel better. Or blame them for the bullying by saying "What did you do to cause him to act that way".
Wouldn't it be great if there was bully rules at our work places!!! Imagine how much more you would like your job.
Bullying isn't just in the schools. It's a toxic symptom of our culture, even among adults. Bullying won't change in the school unless adult enablers are also penalized.
Welcome to a red state school
Yup. I went to school once in high heels and the principal sent me home.
My brother was pushed off a cliff by school rival bullies back in 1994.. He is forever 17. My heart is with Sammys family. Noone should ever have to deal with this kind of pain. Bullying needs to be obliterated!
Bless your soul sweet Sammy. My heart is with your family. 💔
I'm so extremely sorry for your loss 😞. This is heartbreaking 💔. May God ease your pain 🙏🙏🙏.
Please tell me that those bullies rot in prison for murder.
What happened to his murderers?
I am so sorry.❤
I’m so sorry.
Dear Dad, your wisdom shines and helps all out here to know where Sammy got his big smile and loving heart. He knew he was loved by his beautiful family. 😢
This is just the worst thing ever. Why would a 10 yr old ever think to kill himself? I don't understand it at all. It's not fair, and it's not right. This poor baby has broken my heart. I'm so sorry about this. It's just awful.
The school system is more worried about kids gender than stopping bullying.
Right, more worried about pushing the European binary and indoctrination than saving kids lives.
💯
Please say it again for the idiots who don't get it.
This is not true…this is due to parents that no longer let teachers discipline students. We can no longer take away their recess for them hurting other kids, bullying etc… Parents get livid when we try to give their kids the least bit of consequences for their actions.
Because bullying gay kids is not bullying?
How DARE someone say such a thing to parents who have just lost their child, to say this is their fault. Have some damn compassion!
Agreed. The parents are not the ones who deserve judgement here. That ought to be directed at the bullies and the adults responsible for keepimg order at school.
Bullying the parents -- usually online or via text -- of children who die by suicide is commonplace nowadays. Sick, isn't it. And the police state that they can't do anything until an online parent bully actually acts on a threat.
I homeschool.. 1 can work during the day, 1 at night. He shoulda, woulda, coulda, but wasn't pulled out. Big family too🤔. Dad of the year does not side well with me.
@candiflint6487
Exactly! What about the parents of the bully? If you can’t commit fully to parenting, it’s best to NOT have kids.
Just an FYI: if you do have kids being abused like this at school, supposedly a safe place, you can file a police report, this is harrassment and assault. Never tell your kids to turn the other cheek. As parents you HAVE to intervene.
Praying for this family. I’m so sorry for your loss
Thank you for not interrupting the family, and allowing them to talk the majority of the time. Excellent interview!
I agree, respect to the interviewer.
Yes and genuinely apologizing.
RESPECT!
I agree! The new reporter stopped the father from s of blame and also allowed him to express himself. He did a remarkable job!!
Jesse Weber is an amazing interviewer & such a compassionate human being. 🥹🩷 Love this man!!
The pain on his brother’s face is heartbreaking
That pain will be on his face for the rest of his life, as it will be for the parents, the pain of losing your loved one, whether it's your child or your sibling to suicide is the most devastating feeling that anyone could go through and I don't get the young kids I think. It's impulsive and she's right. I've had a lot of time. You've even think of that. My daughter was A. Intelligent world travel's her had masters and nutrition. Ran the Philly marathon and 3 and a 1/2 years after she got married March 25th 2020. She ended her own life but A32. She lived an incredible life besides traveling to Afric and Peru and all the things that she did. She was an incredible Christian and she believes that she was gonna go to Jesus when I guess when she died. She was undagnosed with mental health issues. She never told anybody that she was feeling suicidal. I do believe her husband was threatened by it several times but he was a very quiet. Sort of guy and he never told us because they were both adults. Maybe she said not to say anything. I'll never know that well. I did ask that universe. He said they don't really talked about telling anybody and but my point is that it's been 4 years old. The whole that having my daughter for 32 years has left in my heart and her 3 older siblings who were there from day one also, but the face that they have right now, 11 days in they're gonna be in total, denial shock for probably at least a year or so, it's it's. Gonna be an upper down journey. But you think you're like? Oh I feel I'm making progress. You're not making progress. Because the second year is worse. The third year is you have to really face. The fact that this really did happen because you really don't believe want to tell him at first my first 2 years was I was in therapy and I just refused to believe that she did this. I thought her husband killed her. I spoke to the troopers. I want to blame anybody. But what she actually had planned for months in advance. This little boy did not plan this for months in advance. Yes, unless he had someone that he was seeing on social media where some of these influencers are actually ending their own lives a little bit older teenagers, which again is very hard to find a support group for the age. My daughter was compared to all the young. Teenagers were there at such a stage in our lifestyle. That you're not even with death. Is my daughter knew what? It was, I was not afraid to die. And that's the difference between adult and in their life and child. The child has no concept and doesn't think of anything beyond that, particular second and my daughter wrote 7 letters to her husband I had to think in about it for at least 6 months beforehand so my prayers to the fami'm on it. Their journey is just starting they will never be the same. I'm sorry to say that. 's absolutely the truth. You look at a mirror and you won't even know who you're looking at you. Look at your other children's faces and you see sadness. A change is the family tremendously. It changes all the relationships. My heart breaks for you, I can't even imagine.
Thank you, News Nation, for giving the time for this family to share this horrible needless senseless tragedy with the world. This story broke my wife and I. We have talked about it all week. We share the grief of losing this beautiful child. Endless prayers for Sammy and his loving family.
This father speaks so well , I don't think I could ever be so forgiving. Rest in peace Sammy 😪
The bullying needs to stop! I don't know why children are so mean.
My youngest daughter's step brother had a seizure at a Highschool in San Diego. The kid's instead of helping him started kicking him at hitting him, and NEVER helped. They left him there to die. He ended up in a Coma. This is so wrong and heartbreaking!! He was different. What is wrong with being different???
Oh my gosss!!! If they didn't wanna help then they shouldn't have done anything. Why kick him for no reason:(
Omg, so sorry for this experience and in a coma. That incident was ridiculous!
There’s cameras everywhere sue the families of these monsters
How horrible
I'm so sorry that happened . 🙏🙏🙏
This dad is correct with the zero tolerance in schools. They punish the kid being bullied and not the one bullying
The victim becomes the perpetrator 😡 the world is in chaos. Evil is all around us😢😢
Unfortunately that's how it works
Bullying needs to be recognised as a crime. THIS Boy was let down by his school and the bullies. WHEN are we going to see schools with bullying on a National Register and teachers sacked for not dealing with it.
I had this with my son and I went to the school many times and one day confronted the parents and guess what? The parents didn't know. All the times I complained no procedures were followed. No disciplinary. No consquences for the bullies. No parental Involvement. There needs to be a governing body for parents to complain to and liase with that ensure the school face heavy consquences includ8ng the bullies if it repeats after once.
Just heartbreaking that yet again evil walks free, and this innocent child's life is over due to the school and the bullies punishing him. They all have blood on Their hands.
I totally understand this, I was bullied in school, then when I had a daughter she was bullied, she seemed happy but I could see the sadness in her eyes, one day she came home and we both cried, it’s hard and I want to hold the brother and let him know to stay strong and always keep his brother in his heart 💪🏾🥲🙏🏽💯❤️
*This father is INCREDIBLE*
*Any child would be SO LUCKY TO HAVE THIS MAN AS THEIR DAD*
Any trolls out there need to leave their comments to themselves and know karma is coming for you.
Trolls are bullies.They have no empathy for their victims,and they are cowards,too,hiding behind their tech.
Is it trolling to say, pull your kids out of school if they are being tortured there? We're trying to save lives here.
It is bullying and without compassion to say it after the fact. This family can't pull Sammy out of school now, they expected support they didn't get from those in authority. Why torment them with what might have been when it is too late for them to change things.
@@jennil7797 Obviously we are trying to save children's lives and we are concerned that people aren't understanding the magnitude of the problem. It's not about these parents it's about trends and hard lessons we all need to learn as a society.
@@PS-qn4ozhave you ever made mistakes and looking back knew how it should have been handled instead? You think he doesn't realize that
now? He went to the school and was told it was being taken care of.
You're not trying to "save lives", you're sitting on your high horse judging others by pointing out the obvious after the fact- and only causing more suffering.
If you really care, volunteer at a local school and speak to bullies and help change their behavior. Don't go and tell parents who JUST LOST THEIR CHILD how they did everything wrong when he DID EVERYTHING he knew to do at the time.
As a former elementary educator, I refused to allow bullying in my classroom. Also, if I heard that a student was being bullied outside of my classroom, I did everything within my power to stop it. It is ignored and taken lightly by teachers and administration.
While all too many take the, not my problem approach. The school should have seen to it this would never happen, and I don't give a damned what their excuse...Figure it out!
THANK YOU, you may have saved young lives. Xx
Parents have to take responsibility too. My niece is on 5 different medications but my sister makes sure she is on top of her mental health. The school only cares about the parents who make a fuss.
Bullies do their dirty work when and where they won’t get caught.
Same here former elementary teacher and I do not allow it in my classroom The bullies would make fun of special needs when those kids had higher scores Make me laugh at idiots. I had all the scores the bullies are always the lowest lol
I’m so so sorry! I lost my brother suddenly as an adult and this loss completely destroyed and reshaped me. I learned that siblings are often called the forgotten mourners. I hope both siblings get all the support and help he needs to continue to grow and process this grief. I hope his family continues to come together and keep sharing his story because it’s important! Bullying is learned behavior our kids mimic what they see and learn from the adults in their lives. This shouldn’t have ever happened! Dad was 100% right real leaders lead with compassion and love not fear!
I was bullied pretty badly in grade school and junior high but my school principal and teachers did something about it! Wished the same could have been done for Sammy! 😢 R.I.P sweet boy, you’ll never be forgotten! 🙏💙
Bullying isn't a children issue. It happens everywhere including churches and the workplace. There needs to be consequences and education to stop bullies, no matter what age. Love to Sammy's family.
Yes, it’s ridiculous that it can happen in churches too. So cruel!
Thank you. As someone who’s been there. ❤
Yes. It happened to my daughter at Church.
Especially in the medical field a bunch of big egos and mean girls
The death penalty!!
That poor brother looks completely numb 😢💔❤️🩹 Rest Easy little Sammy, I’m sorry we all failed to protect you as adults
Yes he does, he and sam appeared to be very close
Yeah, He looks broken, and yeah we are failing all our children in so many ways. ( To Sammy, Rest easy baby xxxxxx)
We told our 8 year old who is bullied because he is heavy to turn the other cheek. He did and the bully pushed him so our son punched him in the face. We got a call from school to pick up our son he would be suspended. We said um no he can and will beat the shit out of ANYONE who puts hands on him first and that is with our permission. ..after that the bully was suspended for 3 days and our son stayed. Tried to call his parents and they don’t answer our phone calls.
A 12 yr old knows right from wrong, assaulting and bullying a kid is not right. They need to go to jail.
My daughter had a bully in high school, the girl would sit in class taking pictures of her and posting on social media calling her a slut, etc. This happened nearly every day right in front of the teacher and nothing was done. The kids weren’t allowed to have their phones out period but this girl was doing it in plain view of the teacher. I called the school, spoke with counselor, teachers and principal and was assured that they didn’t tolerate bullying. Yet it continued every day. My daughter finally came to me and asked if she would get in trouble for fighting if she stood up to the bully. I told her to do what she had to do. So the next day she walked right up to the girl and punched her in the face. The girl’s boyfriend, a football player, tackled my daughter to the floor of the cafeteria. The school called and asked me if I knew she was going to do it and I told them yes I told her to handle it because they didn’t. So my child was suspended for 8 days and the bully and her boyfriend didn’t get in any trouble at all. But she never bothered my daughter again.
Good for her!!! That's exactly what some kids need. As for these f*cking phones, they should be put away at the beginning of the day and taken out when school is over. I'm glad I grew up when I did; no phones or social media. None of these adults have the balls to control anything. Don't get me wrong because I think the majority of young people are great. However, there are a few who manage to make it miserable for others. There should be zero toleration for this sh*t.
I honestly would've told my kid the same. I'm really sorry your daughter had to go through that, but I bet that punch felt really good. Hope she's better now
and now your daughter has that on her permanent record. great job, mom!
@@W.J.M. it won't matter, even if it makes it permanently
What that girl did is actually grounds for a criminal charge. It's defamation of character
The parents of the other child should be held accountable for this situation
Seriously?!
True . If parents start being held responsible that may stop some bullying hopefully
@@ThePathOfLeastResistanc yes, that behavior is taught, it is a learned behavior. Children copy what they see. Said from someone who was bullied. Some kids did it in front of certain kids but not in front of others. I was taught to not give attention to any of it, not to show it affected me, but it did. That was hard, but thankfully it stopped eventually. That worked because they didn't get the reaction they wanted. People just either talked to me or didn't and I was happy with my super small circle.
@@vagirl19 kids spend more than half of their waking hours at school. You can’t blame every learned behavior on the parents and threaten them with jail over every single thing their child does smh
A lot of investigation is needed if society does want to make parents/caretakers accountable.
Ie:
Were the p/c aware the child was bullying / had unacceptable social behaviours?
If so were they doing anything to help/teach the child acceptable social behaviour?
If p/c were well aware and teaching the child how to behave then in that regard they have been accountable.
If they knew their child was a bully and had had reports about it and ignored reality then of course they should be deemed unfit. If a p/c has been told their child has a behavioural disorder like being a bully then it is p/c duty of care to do something about it.
Quite often a bully emerges from a disturbed household. Monkey see, monkey do.
Keep sharing his story, so many can relate and can learn from this. Try to always keep an open line of communication with your kids where they feel like something can change if absolutely necessary. Help is not shameful, support groups, therapists, just someone to talk to can make such a difference. His story will hopefully help provoke some of the changes we need like bullying being better addressed, and a better insight on some of the hidden struggles that kids are dealing with as well as pressures we can’t even see. My condolences to the family, so many of us can relate to the struggles your son went through, and are eager to see changes for the better.
Oh my gosh, so the child gets bullied, THEN, others bully him. The father did everything he thought was possible. Those who ridiculed him will find out what that is like some day soon.
My Son is a substitute teacher for our local school district. He was told by one school that he could no longer sub for their school because apparently several students reported that they didn't like this substitute teacher. My son said those students that reported him he had told the students they were not allowed to play games on their phones or their chromebooks. It seems like students are running the school system not the school admistration or the teachers. Is it no wonder that we are loosing good teachers?
I really don't understand how bullying is still going on.... and especially the person being victimized gets punished too. (Absolutley maddening!!! 😡🤬😡🤬
Because it comes from nothing but spoiled brats. This is taught at home. Yeah, I said it.
Students are running the schools because administrators don’t give a damn.
My high school's chemistry teacher loved teaching, coached cross country and was a runner, himself, and led the Christian youth council. He got reported by multiple students for being a bad teacher, because he... made us actually read and use our textbooks🙄
I got called to the principal's office to give testimony about the teacher, and told them I thought he was a great teacher and that classmates just didn't like reading and doing the work.
His jokes were pretty lame, but I appreciated his effort and genuine love of teaching. I'm agnostic, so wasn't in anything he coached/taught besides chemistry, but he was a great teacher. Even still, he got let go because too many other students ganged up and complained.
Kids feel entitled and their parents feed this to them. When the kids don't like something, they complain to the parents and in turn, the parents complain to the school. Behavior issues are ridiculously high and there are no consequences. This is a major reason teachers are leaving.
My sister in law shares the horror stories of kids in elementary cursing her out, throwing their school tablet at her, etc. Each time she reports a child for misbehavior, she is reported by the student for something bogus. Also, she is white and said they teach the kids that white folks are bad in all the schools she works in.
Bullying is the real hate crime. 😢
The dad and son were so good. Beautiful Dad and the sweetest brother!! RIP lil guy! 💕💞💖💓💝😘
I used to get bullied a lot in my middle school years ago and I did survive from bullying, It's quite challenging. Now im 19, hearing from this died from suicide from bullying, just breaks me. I can't even imagine what this little guy go through leading him to suicide. I Hope he is in a happy place up there. Rest in peace 😔🙏🏻
My daughter was bullied out of school after Covid. She was 13 She got really tall , gained some weight. Went through a lot of changes at that age.Her own step cousin was the ring leader. Her friends since kindergarten..I hold the parents accountable. All the girls who bullied her had mommy issues . I was everywhere with my daughter. I ended up taking her out of public school . She overcame everything but lost out on school events she deserved to experience. She swears it’s the best choice .. She was panicking every morning. No child should experience this. All kids grow up and change .. We need to hold parents accountable. For their children’s behavior..
Sammy will be remembered. RIP 🙏❤️
Both the schools and parents need to be held accountable!
There seems to be something seriously wrong in America.
Wishing you the best, from South Africa ❤
@@freespirit5719 Thank You! I appreciate that.. 💋
I reported bullying of a student in my class and the counselor told me that I did not know what bullying was. this counselor did not want to do her job, She never saw what was happeneing in my class.. She was the one at fault. She retired. The school needed someone better than her. She did not deserve to be in that position and she did not deserve a paycheck
Sham
This crazy. Thank god you was strong to make it to today. But I’m sorry you went thru that and if you ever decide to have kids. Please think if you want your kids in these corrupted schools
There’s a lot of sleazy teachers and counselors that need to be put to shame with how they approach sensitive subject matters. The turning a blind eye mentality is unethical and scary
The interviewer/reporter was very compassionate in this video, exemplary even.
His older brother is traumatized deeply. We need to support this family and every child who is being bullied RIGHT NOW.
This is why I took my child out of school when she was 9 years old, I felt at the time I was saving her life and I believe I did. School can be a dangerous place.
Rest in love sweetheart.
Based on the number of reports made by the kid's parents, the school seems to be actively enabling this, judging by their complete lack of corrective action.
Same here!!!! Thank God I was fortunate to be a stay at home mom and was able to homeschool my kids. Because of bullying.
At 11, I was left in a school where I wanted to die, but I did not. Here is the thing though, I am forever changed by how I was treated and what was not done about it so even if your daughter would have struggled through, she would not have come out of it without feeling broken and jaded.... so without question, you saved her.
Smart move!! I did the same, if you feel your child is in danger remove them from the situation, it is our job as parents to keep them safe.
Agreed. Getting bullied at school can change a person's personality and severely damage their self esteem and future. There isn't anything really gained from going to school except the education that can be thought at home or through self education.
This should speak volumes to everyone. This father is so well spoken and emotionally intelligent. His brother showed him love and support. When our brains swim in rejection and criticism from our peers, it eats away at our mental health. At any age.
At any age. Every thing you said.
Correct
That’s right! So true
How do you know what happens behind the curtains? People are Good at hiding the real you, and you need to go out more and not day dream of this fake fantasy world of yours
Such a good dad and brother. Praying for these people.
Going to school is already hard and traumatizing. Having people around you mock, hurt, abuse you at your most vulnerable can be devastatingly soul crushing to the point you don't even care about having a life of your own or having success cause you feel so fucking bad about yourself. FUCK bullies!!!! I'm a firm believer in giving it back everytime!! Always give it back worse then they gave it to you and I stand on that. So sorry this young man was made to feel so badly
😔💛
I lost my son to suicide and bullying and found his body. I completely understand how much pain this family is in and how their lives will never be the same. You become a different person and I don't think that anyone really understands the pain unless they have gone through this type of grief. My heart goes out to this family and I pray that they will have the love and support they need. RIP little man.
God bless you
I’m so terribly sorry for the loss of your son. The bullying today these days has gotten so out of control and it seems like no one at the school cares until it is too late.
I’m so sorry… it truly does … no one is ever the same after this kind of tragedy.
I am so sorry 😞.
I can’t imagine this I’m so sorry 😞
bullying starts at home, the parents of all those kids should be held liable. what a disgusting way to raise a child
So true bully starts at home whh blame kids ...they learn from adult behavior
Absolutely. I taught my daughter to always stick up for the underdogs. Never use your power to destroy people.
Agreed…the parents of the boys bullying our son said he needed to find new friends instead of addressing their own child’s behaviour!
YES
If the parents are mean, the kids become mean.
This is the most devastating story. I’m so heartbroken for this family and for this poor boy who suffered too much. Bullying unfortunately has been a problem forever, but because of social media it has amped up enormously. There is no way for kids to get away from bullying.
Every time I see Sammy I just cry my eyes out. It's beyond sad. I hope that this will change people's hearts.
Can you even imagine growing up into a teenager and then an adult knowing that when you were little, you effectively bullied another child to death?
Sadly, they probably don't care.
Is that possible?
They will probably live to a ripe old age as well unfortunately. The bullies that is.
Sadly most evil People live a pretty happy Life...I don't see a Difference in their Age..We often like to believe those things change them because it gives us a feeling of a slight relief or the feeling of a tiny bit of Justice but the fact ist, most People are Sh*t and those People become Parents of little Versions of their Heartless Souls...
