A 15-year-old boy named Nate Bronstein was enrolled at one of the most prestigious private schools in Chicago and had a promising future — that is, until his parents say he became a victim of relentless cyberbullying by his classmates.
But according to the filing, they had no idea about the extent of the cyberbullying that tormented Nate. "Our son would still be alive today if Latin would have done their job and reported to us what had gone on within the school," said Rose Bronstein.
It wasn't until after Nate died that the family was made aware of the texts, the Snapchats, the taunting — from another parent at Latin. And that's a problem — a legal one in the State of Illinois. requires that every school in the state, including private schools, have an anti-bullying policy. In the weeks and months following Nate's death, students, parents, and even a current employee of the school reached out to tell the family they were not alone in their concerns about an alleged cover-up culture at Latin. The Survivors of Latin Instagram account was a public account with close to 3,000 followers. According to the creator, the 121 pages' worth of stories involve"anti-Blackness, xenophobia, racism, classism, sexual assault, homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny.
The Bronsteins never got to watch their son grow up. But they hope they might give other parents the chance to step in.
