Sammy Teusch, a fourth-grader at Greenfield Intermediate School in Greenfield, Indiana, reportedly faced constant harassment from his classmates. His parents shared this heartbreaking information in an interview with Collins Rugg, a co-owner of Trending Politics, a news agency, disclosed via his X handle.
Sam and Nichole Teusch, Sammy's parents, revealed in the video that they had lodged at least 20 complaints with the school about their son's bullying ordeal. The bullying allegedly began with taunts about his glasses and escalated to mocking his teeth. "They were making fun of him for his glasses in the beginning, then went on to make fun of his teeth. It went on for a long time," his father said. He further explained that Sammy faced emotional and physical bullying, including an assault incident on a school bus where his glasses were broken. "He was beaten up in the school bus; they even broke his glasses. I called the school and asked, 'What are you doing about this?' Still, it just got worse, and they knew this was going on," he added.
