A federal judge threw out some but not all claims from a 13-count complaint against the Milton Hershey School in Hershey over the death of one of the school’s students in 2013.
So litigation continues over the death of 14-year-old Abrielle Kira Bartels, known as Abbie. She had lived at the boarding school since she was 5. Bartels killed herself one day in 2013 after the school sent her home, according to the lawsuit filed in 2016 by her parents, Julie Wartluft and Frederick Bartels Jr.
