Family blames school officials for 10-year-old's suicide after alleged bullying.

A 10-year-old student at Hillcrest Elementary School in Peekskill, New York, reportedly committed suicide after being bullied for months. The student's father claims that district officials and social workers did not have time to address the issue despite multiple requests for help. The school district and city of Peekskill released identical statements saying that the police are investigating. Bullying is a growing national issue, and the federal government provides resources for parents, victims, and school districts on stopbullying.gov.
