3 New Jersey high school students charged in teen’s suicide

MORRISTOWN, N.J. — A New Jersey high school freshman killed himself three weeks after being assaulted, robbed and threatened by other students, authorities said Wednesday as they publicized criminal charges against the youths.

Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said the teen, 15-year-old Lennon Baldwin, was terrorized by two students and pressured at one point to tell Morristown High School officials that he had not been assaulted, but was merely the victim of a prank.

"This case again underscores our need as a society to eradicate the bullying of our youth, as regrettable consequences such as this case are far too numerous to be anywhere near acceptable," Bianchi said.
