WICHITA FALLS, TX- Roxanne Jones, mother of 14-year-old T.G. Garcia, has sued a north Texas school district for the death of her son.  

The Iowa Park Consolidated Independent School District is being sued by Jones under the allegation that "her son was bullied and administrators took no action to stop the harassment,” as said by KTXS.

The lawsuit, filed on Oct. 25 in Wichita Falls, said, in 2014, the North Texas boy fatally shot himself while at home.

KTXS reported, “The lawsuit says the family had reported bullying, and one then-administrator responded that 'boys will be boys.'

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

KTXS also reported, “Superintendent Steve Moody, in response to the lawsuit, declined to address specifics, but says the district disputes many of the claims. Moody says student safety and welfare are a top priority, and policies are in place to protect students.”

First off my condolences to the family , what a shame , my prayers are with you . It is no wonder that kids bully especially here in Texas , there is so much hate . It doesn't help to have a bully like Trump running for president . Children learn by example . I pray that people will start realizing how important it is to teach children to treat every one with respect .

Get this dummy , children learn by example . Some one who is running for the most powerful office in the world , who makes fun of women , the disabled , and immigrants , is definitely a bully . Even the developmentally disabled can figure that one out .

Hillary has spent most of her career fighting for a better life for children and women . I guess you never tire of lies and repeating lies , because you have nothing better to do . If i were you i would be buying the super size package of instant poison punch , because Hillary is going to win the election .

Old age does not guarantee wisdom! I was simply implying that if you were old enough to remember the "stand by my man" Hillary and all of her deceptions over the years you would not blindly follow her.

Now lets see how many indiscretions has trump committed , how many times has this holier than thou person , been married . What an embarrassment to the U.S . if he were elected president . What a scenario , I can see it now , ladies and gentlemen the president of the United States of America , please stand , and hide your women . Hillary has committed no crimes , not even with those stupid e mails . Trump on the other hand , has done so much wrong , that it would take thousands of pages to list all of his transgressions against many many people . By the way isn't that how trump likes his women , barefoot dumb and pregnant .
