Four years after a Murray County High School student killed himself amid constant bullying, the boy's parents owe the school district $30,000.
David and Tina Long, whose 17-year-old son Tyler committed suicide in 2009, say they don't know what they're going to do.
Their 18-year-old twins start college in the fall, and they say they don't have $30,000 to give the school system.
The Longs sued Murray County Schools in 2010, arguing that officials did nothing to stop students from bullying their son. Now two U.S. courts have ruled against the Longs.
The majority of the $30,000 bill comes from making copies of thousands of records.
The Longs say they already lost their son and now all the costs are meant to warn other parents not to go after a school system.
