OH - Gabriel Taye, 8, hangs self after assault by classmates, Cincinnati, 6 Jan 2017

I mean this is my question. What 8 year old is like "I'm going to end my life because I am tired of being bullied by strangling myself with this rope"?

I wonder if this was really a suicide? Or was he threatened, coerced or something?

Poor little boy! It's so sad when a child seemingly has noone to talk to, noone to trust.

I wonder about that too.

I have seen the Facebook page for Carson Elementary School. It is rating is 1.1 out of 5 stars.

There is also Great Schools and the school has poor ratings. It does have issues with bullying.

Bullying is rampant in every school. It makes me sick. When I see these stories it makes me happy to be homeschooling. Has anyone watch the PBS Documentary called "Bully"? It was mind blowing for me. I literally watched so much through my fingers and just cried. It showed how kids who tell get written off and administration has no idea what to do with bullies. Can't suspend them all, right? It's horrible. Watch that show!!! You will be so enlightened to be able to try to change things. When a teen goes missing, so often you see just how bad it is by looking at their Facebook comments (u so ugly, just die, kill yourself, b you a ho, etc).
