The bullying and death of a Moreno Valley middle school student was his own fault and the fault of his family, according to school district lawyers.
A 13-year-old boy who died last month after he was sucker-punched by classmates had complained of bullying to an administrator at his Southern California middle school days before the alleged assault, a lawyer representing his family said on Tuesday.
A vigil in his memory turned tense and drove a school official to stay inside the locked school, guarded by deputies. The boy, identified only as Diego, was pronounced clinically dead Tuesday night as a result of the injuries he sustained in a Sept. 16 attack, according to a Facebook post from the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Station.
Both Brian Lilly Jr. and Bond arrived at UCSD the fall semester of 2019.
The relationship between Lilly and Bond deteriorated significantly at the start of the 2020 Spring semester, his family and teammates said.
As did many students, Lilly returned home to his parents’ and finished the semester remotely. His mental health continued to decline that summer and he ultimately checked himself into a hospital to treat symptoms of schizophrenia and a psychotic episode, according to the lawsuit.
