Diego Stolz was hit in the face by one student and sucker-punched in the head by the other, resulting in his head being knocked against a cement pillar. After being on life support for nine days he was announced dead.
Now, the two teenagers have been charged with manslaughter in connection to the death and Stolz's family is seeking US$100 million in damages over how administrators neglected the 13-year-old's bullying concerns.
The aunt and uncle of Stolz, who raised the boy after his parents died, filed a legal claim against the Moreno Valley Unified School District this week, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Before the fatal attack, the teenage boy and an adult cousin met with Landmark Middle School assistant principal, who assured him that the bullies would be suspended for three days, starting Monday.
