GREENFIELD, Ind. — Ten-year-old Sammy Teusch was known by his family for being spontaneous, like when he jumped into a pond in 50-degree weather at the sight of some little waves.
His little laugh and his big smile may not be heard or seen around the Teusch home anymore, but those will live in their hearts forever.
“He was my little boy. He was my baby. He was the youngest one,” said Sammy’s mom, Nichole Teusch.
His family said Sammy killed himself Sunday morning, May 5.
“I held him in my arms. I did the thing no father should ever have to do, and anytime I close my eyes, it’s all I can see,” said his dad, Sam Teusch.
According to Sammy’s family, he was being bullied up until the night before he died. They said it started last year in elementary school and continued this year at Greenfield Intermediate School.
