Family of teen who died by suicide files claim against Coronado Unified School District
['Joey Safchik']
NBC 7 San Diego
His family, who announced a legal claim filed against the Coronado Unified School District on Thursday, said leadership at Coronado Middle School did not take concerns about cyberbullying seriously enough.
Gabriel's family said his Tourette's syndrome made him the subject of bullying, both at school and online.
The attorney said the family was told school leadership approached that student, who denied any knowledge of the incident.
In a statement, the district said:“The Coronado Unified School District is aware of the legal matter currently pending.
If the legal claim is denied by the district, the family said, they will then file a lawsuit.
