NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A 13-year-old Staten Island boy took his own life after he was mercilessly bullied by his classmates at a private Catholic school.
CBS2’s Brian Conybeare reported Danny Fitzpatrick hung himself in the attic of his home on Thursday. The teen left behind a hand-written note describing the abuse by five boys at Holy Angels Catholic Academy in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
“They did it constantly,” Danny said in a note, adding that he told his teachers, but they did nothing.
“I gave up the teachers…they didn’t do anything,” Danny wrote.
Daniel Fitzpatrick, Danny’s father, said in a video on Facebook his son “was a kind, gentle little soul” and “didn’t have a mean bone in his body.”
