For at least a year, Gabriel Taye, 8, was severely bullied at his elementary school in Cincinnati. The third grader, who dreamed of joining the military and liked to dress up in neck ties, was punched, beaten and mocked repeatedly by students at Carson Elementary School, according to a federal lawsuit. On Jan. 24, 2017, a student yanked him to the floor in a restroom, knocking him unconscious, the lawsuit said. Video footage shows Gabriel on the floor, unconscious, for at least seven minutes as other children walked by, some kicking him, others pointing fingers. Gabriel was bullied again.
