DeKalb County school officials say an investigation has found that a Dunaire Elementary 5th grader who committed suicide was not subjected to bullying. The school district has spent the past month reviewing the circumstances surrounding the death of 11-year-old Jaheem Herrera. Authorities say a family member discovered the boy in his Atlanta-area home after he hanged himself on April 16. The boy's mother insists he was bullied at school and that administrators did nothing to respond even after she visited several times. At a news conference Wednesday, school officials said interviews with more than 50 students, staff and friends determined Jaheem was subjected to roughly the same amount of teasing as his peers.
