9yo supposedly tells mom he's gay over the summer and after the 4th day of bullying at school he kills himself. It's a sad situation, yeah, but 9? And it says his mom said "he discovered he was gay over the summer and was so proud to tell his classmates". WTF? Really? What planet did mom go to school at to give that kind of advice? How the fuck did a pre-pubescent kid figure it out? Gay, not gay, it's not 4th grade material. 4th grade and I was into GI Joes and got my first shotgun but fucking dudes was not on the radar.
Everything in the article makes sense for a kid in puberty but not a 9yo. At 9 you aren't that adept at hiding emotions from parents and short of a firearm suicide wouldn't be easy at all (which I'm guessing wasn't the method since it doesn't blather gun control bullshit for half the article). And where the fuck was mom? It's obvious she wasn't too bright but how did the kid manage to kill himself without her knowing?
Anyone else smell bullshit? If this had happened 20 years ago the parents would be under suspicion for murder and that'd be the story, nobody would have bought this then.
