Jack Reid's experience at The Lawrenceville School in New Jersey started off well until an unfounded rumor that he was a rapist began to spread
on Monday said it fell "tragically short" of "expectations" to ensure the safety and wellbeing of a student who died by suicide a year ago Sunday., on April 30, 2022, after he endured "bullying and other forms of cruel behavior" at the boarding and day school, The Lawrenceville School said in a Monday statement.
Reid's parents, Elizabeth and William Reid, described their son in a statement to Fox News Digital as "a happy and well-adjusted teenager with a strong support system that included his friends and devoted family.""He loved his school and his community, and treated others with kindness and respect. He had a bright future. We hope no other family suffers such a profound loss," they said.
Elizabeth and Bill Reid told The New York Times that their son's school experience started off well until an unfounded rumor that he was a rapist began to spread around campus by the spring of 2021. The rumor was posted to a social media app popular among boarding school students days after Reid was voted president of the dorm, and Reid said the bullying continued to spread quickly online. The 17-year-old received a rape whistle and a book about how to make friends as a Secret Santa gift that year, his parents told the Times."Dad, will this ever go away?" William Reid recalled his son asking.
