Tragic Loss: Fifth-Grade Boy Takes His Life Amid Alleged Teacher Bullying

Tyka Johnson and Louis Johnson Jr. from Ocala, Florida, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Marion County School Board, following the suicide of their 10-year-old son, Louis Johnson III, known as “LJ.” The suit claims relentless bullying by his fifth-grade teacher, Donna White, caused severe emotional distress. Despite their complaints, the school took no action. After LJ's tragic death on April 25, 2023, his parents have advocated against bullying and launched a GoFundMe campaign for funeral expenses, seeking awareness and support for their cause.
