The L.A. school funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is about to face new claims of bullying, including one incident involving a 14-year-old trying to kill herself.

TMZ gathered there is a new lawsuit about to be filed by the same lawyers at Geragos & Geragos, who filed the first suit against the Animo Westside Charter Middle School.


The initial suit surrounds the video of one student choking another, whose parents claim he suffered permanent brain damage in the incident.

The forthcoming suit documents the alleged bullying experienced by a now-14-year-old girl, who's claiming she too was mercilessly bullied last year on the campus, and the school failed to stop it.

The girl is claiming to have suffered both physical and verbal abuse from multiple students, with one girl leading the pack. It got so bad, the alleged victim started cutting herself and months later, attempted suicide.

She had to be hospitalized on a psychiatric hold as a result. Her family is blaming the school as well as Green Dot, the organization that operates the school.

Bill and Melinda Gates are not being sued, and neither is their foundation, which has donated more than $7 million to Green Dot.

The story about the brain-damaged student, has led to several other parents have contacted attorneys with similar complaints about severe bullying at Animo Westside.
