Justice Served: Moreno Valley Boy’s Family Awarded $27 Million Settlement in Tragic Bullying Case

The guardians of a 13-year-old boy who suffered at the hands of bullies, culminating in a fatal attack that was videotaped on his middle school campus, reached a $27 million settlement with the Moreno Valley Unified School District stemming from a lawsuit filed over the youth’s death, it was announced Wednesday.

“The family will forever be heartbroken by the death of Diego, but they hope this case brings about change in school districts across the country,” plaintiffs’ attorney Dave Ring said. “Schools need to realize that bullying can never be tolerated and that any complaints of bullying and assault must be taken seriously. Diego’s death was preventable if this school had simply prioritized an anti-bullying policy.”

MVUSD officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment but said that the district intended to release a statement sometime Wednesday afternoon.
