Local Crime & Public Safety Charlie Schnell killed himself after his parents say the Landon School ignored warning signs and accused him of drawing a racist image. Now they're suing.
In the weeks after their son Charlie took his life, Dawn and Scott Schnell found themselves drawn to his bedroom. Scott would clutch Charlie's shirts, the teen's scent still there.
Dawn picked up random items, wanting to touch what Charlie had touched. Inside his backpack one day, she found a journal he kept for 10th-grade English at the Landon School in Bethesda, Md.
