  1. Bullies are COWARDS in disguise! Belated condolences to the young mans family.

  2. Schools and laws need to do more about bullies

  3. May their beautiful son rest in Heavenly peace. 🕊💫 I'm glad they won their lawsuit. It's not about the money, but unfortunately, things don't usually change for the better until the financial impact is felt. As for the other student who murdered their precious son, I hope he and his parents/guardians are incarcerated.

  4. the Moreno valley school district has social media (including a youtube channel) Lets let them know #justiceforDiego Money isn't enough @morenovalleyusd123

  5. Something has to be done about mental illness

  6. Are the kids who punched him facing murder charges?

  7. 1:17 So your tell me the School had Notice and was aware who who was bullying and THEY STILL LET IT HAPPEN?! THIS IS BLOOD ON THIER HANDS THIS COULD OF BEEN PREVENTED! As a survivor of bullying this is your biggest fear hitting your head because it can happen to anyone and it’s over. I’m so sorry kid you deserved so much better

  8. Poor little guy! My heart breaks for him…

  9. It's a simple solution. Separate the bully from everyone else.

    They're always going to antagonize somebody. And the only reason they targeted Diego was because of his color.

    They're always OCD about things like that.

  10. The kids that hit him are guilty of murder and should be charged with murder. Make an example of them.

  11. Justice for Shanqulla Robertson. This young man was bullied and so was she in MEXICO. So glad this family got a little justice

  12. i bet he was illegal and so are his parents

  13. This is horrible! I’m so sorry for what you endured from the bullies. R.I.P. Diego 🕊🌹. I send sincere condolences to his family, friends for their loss of Diego. 🌹

  14. It should have been $1billion on settlements. $27 million is too cheap

  15. What is the race of the attackers?

  16. Send them to Prison. Feel bad for those parents.

  17. The criminals that killed that boy each received 47 days in Juvenile detention. That’s California justice for you. Murderers walk free

  18. They murder the kid 💀 no money would worth a life.

  19. What just suspension they should go to jail.asap.

  20. I do hope both of those boys nor children were charged appropriately!!
