A 14-year-old American schoolboy has taken his own life after a video of him allegedly performing a s*x act was posted on social media.
Matthew Burdett left a note saying he couldn’t “handle school” any longer before killing himself during a Thanksgiving holiday with his family, two weeks after the alleged incident.
It’s believed Matthew was asked to leave class at the University City High School in San Diego for eating inside, before visiting the bathroom. A classmate then allegedly secretly filmed him in a cubicle self servicing before posting the video on SnapChat.
The Mirror reports that Burdette’s parents are now suing the school for $1 million, claiming school staff were aware of the video and bullying but did nothing to prevent it.
A claim against the San Diego Unified School District states: “From the moment the video was posted, Matthew was mercilessly bullied, harassed and teased by students who had seen the video.”
“Matthew’s once positive and outgoing personality was now wrought with insecurity and depression,” it said.
Meanwhile, the school district released the following statement on Monday;
"At San Diego Unified, the safety and well-being of our students is a top priority. The district also adheres to the privacy and confidentiality laws and regulations related to students, families and ongoing investigations. For this reason, the district cannot provide details about Matthew Burdette's death. Our hearts and thoughts continue to be with his family and loved ones."
