The family of a 12-year-old boy who committed suicide after years of bullying, mostly over gender-related issues, have reached a $1 million settlement with the suburban Sacramento school district where the harassment occurred. Ronin Shimizu took his own life last year after enduring what his family said were years of abuse that began when he was in the first grade in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. "He was taunted for being 'gay,' 'girlie,' 'a fag,' pushed out of the boys’ bathroom and told to use the girls’ bathroom, pushed down into the mud, doused with fruit cup in the cafeteria, and made to suffer other indignities," his parents said in a mediation brief filed in the case. http://bit.ly/1hZp2gu http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
