Parents of 17 y/o Patrick McCalley, an Indiana Student who committed suicide because he was given a 2 hour in school suspension after he sent a RACIST SNAPCHAT to a black student, are now SUING the district because the intense punishment drove him to his death as they said there shouldn't have been any punishment for something so trivial!!

On October 6th, 2016, Patrick got in trouble by the school after he sent a snapchat message with a noose around a black man's neck to a classmate at Carmel High School.

As punishment he was escorted from the school and isolated for 2 hours where he was questioned by the principal over it.

He wrote a self-incriminating statement and signed an affidavit that threatened "penalties for perjury" if his statement wasn't true and was told he'd be expelled or suspended according to the lawsuit

After he was released, Patrick then went home that day and killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound at 3:36pm.

Now Chris and Marilyn McCalley are suing the district and assistant principal, Toby Steele, school resource officer Phil Hobson and former district superintendent Nicholas Wahl on 8 counts including intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence.

They said Patrick was happy that day because he got an email from the US Air Force where he was going to enlist.

The suit says "When Patrick awoke on October 6, 2016, he was a happy, well adjusted boy and had just received email correspondence from a representative of the US Air Force and was excited for the future when he left home for school."

They said the school led him to suffer "extreme, intolerable and excessive fear and psychological distress" that led him to his death and that the punishment was unwarranted

Christopher McCalley found Patrick in his room but was too late to stop him as he tried to stop the bleeding and called 911..

They claim they got a call from the school that their son was in trouble but didn't know to what extent as Marilyn said they should have been involved. She herself is a teacher and said parents should always be involved in situations like this

The district said the facts they have in reviewing the tragedy are different on what is being portrayed int he lawsuit and will respond to the allegations on the situation that lead to the tragedy

In Indiana, there is no law stating a parent needs to be alerted if a student is questioned by school staff.

Patrick was remembered as a happy kid who was active in the marching band and was fascinated by airplanes and dreamed of joining the military

The McCalleys are now suing for damages including the loss of love and companionship of Patrick, as well as medical, burial and legal expenses

Do you think students should be punished if they send other students racist texts?
