The parents of 14-year-old Matthew Burdette claim that their son committed suicide after he was "mercilessly" bullied for a video taken by one of his classmates of him allegedly masturbating in a bathroom stall. Timothy and Barbara Burdette have filed a $1 million claim against the San Diego Unified School District, claiming that a number of employees at their son's high school were aware of the bullying, but did nothing to stop it.
