Dairy Queen Manager Charged w/ Manslaughter in Bullied Teen’s Suicide

In Missouri, the criminal courts are being used to send a message about bullying. An unfortunate case of bullying led to suicide, and the case surrounding that incident could change the way bullying is addressed in schools, workplaces, and criminal courts across the country.

Kenny Suttner was 17 when he died as a result of suicide in December 2016.  After an inquiry into his death, over 20 witnesses reported incidents of Kenny being bullied at home and while he worked at a local Dairy Queen.  The bullying incidents at work included Kenny being forced to lie on his stomach to clean under machines - a practice that wasn’t required of other employees at the location.

Harley Branham (Kenny’s manager at the Dairy Queen) was charged with involuntary manslaughter for her involvement in Kenny’s suicide since she was the one who required him to clean the store differently from his coworkers. Additional findings have placed some of the responsibility for Kenny’s death with the school district for failing to act on Kenny being bullied at school.

This story is still developing, and both the school district and Harley Branham may be found to be innocent in the end.  This piece has been written not to place blame on the accused parties, but rather to point out the possible criminal consequences of bullying.

While we plan to report on updates to this story as they come in, we would like to hear your thoughts about bullying, reporting bullying, and the consequences of bullying in the comments.  If you’d like to learn more about this case before we have the chance to update you on it, you may find the original story at ABC News:
