In a 13News exclusive, Chase Houle sat down with the child's parents who say they never thought it would end this way.
His little laugh and his big smile may not be heard or seen around the Teusch home anymore, but will live in their hearts forever.His family says Sammy killed himself Sunday morning.
His dad said that was just one of the 20 times he'd been in contact with the school about the bullying. Olin said there was no bullying report ever submitted by the parents or the student. But he also said the school's administrators and counselor had regular conversations with the family throughout the year, though he can't share the content of those conversations.Sammy's family said the bullying progressed from school and the bus to places like Snapchat, even despite him having limited access to his phone.
His suicide, they believe, was because he feared going to school after an incident in the bathroom last week and the constant harassment.
