• PARENTS SAY TEEN’S SUICIDE CAUSED BY VIDEO: SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego couple is blaming a school district for their son’s death, claiming the 14-year-old killed himself after an embarrassing video went viral.

Matthew killed himself last November.

The parents filed a $1 million claim against San Diego Unified School District. Timothy and Barbara Burdette contend at least one district employee knew about the bullying but did nothing to stop it.
