This breaks my heart 💔🥹 Full story below:

What should have been a normal Saturday in Indiana turned tragic for the Teusch family. Ten-year-old **Sammy Teusch**, who had faced relentless bullying for two years, took his own life the morning after quietly pointing out one of his tormentors at a soccer game.

Sammy had been mocked for his glasses and teeth, physically bullied, and even shoved into a trash can—all while school officials allegedly failed to act. His parents and Sammy himself had begged for help. His father recalled Sammy once saying, *“It’s okay, Daddy. They’re not listening to me.”*

Despite their efforts to protect him—even ordering him new glasses he picked out himself—it was too late. The next morning, while his family was out getting pancake ingredients, Sammy ended his life. He left no note—just shock, grief, and a family asking, *Why?*

Now, the Teusch family is seeking accountability. No disciplinary action has been made public. The bullies remain in school, and school officials have stayed silent. The family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit, but they say they want change, not revenge.

“If this can happen to Sammy, it can happen to any child,” his father said.

They now hold on to Sammy’s memory—and his new glasses—as a symbol of the boy they cherished. In his name, they’re calling for action to stop bullying and protect other children from suffering the same fate.

**Share Sammy’s story. Let his voice lead the change.**
