Parents Hope School Bullies Change Ways
Credit Patrick Reddy / Kentucky Enquirer
Darryl and Carol Denham and their son, Daniel, 21,gather in the bedroom of their son, Sam, who they say committed suicide because of bullying at school. Sam's parents want to use his death to educate kids about the dangers of bullying.
Last Friday evening, Carol and Darryl Denham could not comprehend why their 13-year-old son, Sam, took his own life earlier that day. On Saturday, about 150 people held a vigil on the Denham's front lawn. "That's when we got our answer to the question 'Why?'" Carol said. The Denhams say Sam, an eighth grade student at Woodland Middle School, was bullied to the point where he could not take it anymore. They said several students told them that at the vigil, and even named the bullies.
