School Districts Sued Over Bullying That Led To Suicide, Attempts

LOS ANGELES, CA — Parents of children who committed suicide or attempted to do so because they were being bullied at school have sued the school districts in Los Angeles, San Bernardino and nearby Yucapia-Calimesa.

Several parents and their attorney were at a Downtown L.A. press conference Tuesday morning, among them the parents of Rosalie Avila, a 13-year-old who late last year attempted to take her own life because children at her school called her “ugly” and made fun of her teeth. She was taken off life support days later.
