15-year-old Artsyom Karpovich transferred to this school after finishing primary grades in another institution. Last year, he was placed on special record after "misconduct online," STB reported.
His mother, Sviatlana, says her son had a delicate, sensitive nature.
"He is so sensitive, he can cry if he's pushed too far. Maybe it's my fault, because since he was little I told him 'men cry too'."
Mother Sviatlana
Her son reluctantly talked about bullying at school at home. But a couple of days before the tragedy, he sent his mother a message: "Mom, let's file a police report. Because he's had enough of me. He's constantly bothering me and calling me names."
The message Artsyom sent to his mother
"On Monday, we made up a reason for him not to go to school, because he was still feeling... And on Tuesday, he got ready, left..." — Sviatlana recalls, still emotional.
On the day of the tragedy, she sent her son to school and went to work herself, but her son never came to classes. He jumped from a high-rise building.
In the last message he sent to the school chat, Artsyom blamed his classmates and a teacher for bullying.
"This is all because of you, you allowed me to be driven to such a state that I will leave my world," the boy wrote.
His mother says they considered transferring their son to another school; she spoke with the class teacher, but the teacher said everything was supposedly fine. Artsyom began to withdraw.
Other students confirm: the boy was indeed bullied.
The deputy director of the school briefly commented on the situation to STB: "There was no torment, no bullying."
