The Detroit Free Press is reporting that a 7 year old boy took his own life yesterday after enduring what ultimately became unbearable... at this point, we don't know why he was being bullied, but that we allow the cruelty of children to drive any child to this unthinkable act is very telling of how much more we have to do.
Peering through the keyhole of a locked door in her family's home near Detroit's New Center, a 14-year-old girl saw the unthinkable: her 7-year-old brother hanging from a bunk bed with a belt around his neck, a police report says.
The girl alerted her mother and called 911. The mother and a neighbor forced their way into the room, took the boy down, and called 911, too.
The 7-year-old, whom the Free Press is not naming, had been depressed about being bullied by other kids at school and in his neighborhood, and about his parents' recent separation, the boy's mother told police, according to the report.Read more here: Detroit Free Press
