Elite NJ boarding school admits failure in preventing student suicide.

The Lawrenceville School, a prestigious New Jersey boarding school, has admitted that it failed to protect a student who took his own life on campus after being subjected to relentless bullying over rumors that he was a rapist. The school acknowledged that bullying and unkind behavior, and actions taken or not taken by the school, likely contributed to Jack Reid's death. The school found no evidence supporting the rumors and allegations about Reid being a rapist. The school has agreed to create a new dean's position for its 830 students, which will solely focus on mental health issues with the goal of becoming a voice for anti-bullying on campus.
