Gene Myers NorthJersey Published 5:39 p.m. UTC Jun 20, 2018 ROSELAND, N.J. — Dianne and Seth Grossman, the parents of 12-year-old Mallory Grossman who died by suicide last June, have filed a lawsuit that names Rockaway Township, its school district and school administrators as defendants. “One year ago, on June 14, sixth-grader Mallory Grossman, who attended Copeland Middle School in Rockaway [died by suicide] and she did so after being relentlessly bullied by four of her classmates,” their attorney Bruce Nagel said. Nagel said school officials failed "horribly" in its obligation to keep Mallory safe. The complaint reveals details of the bullying and how the school system failed the Grossmans, Nagel said. The lawsuit lists acts of bullying undertaken by a group of the four minors "acting together and individually" toward Mallory Grossman during the 2016-2017 school year.
