Denver mom says her 9-year-old son died by suicide in their home on Thursday after experiencing bullying in school. She is now sharing the story in hopes of shining a light on bullying and suicide, KDVR reports.
Leia Pierce says bullying was a factor in the death of her son, Jamel Myles, who started fourth grade just last week. Over the summer, Jamel came out to his mother as gay, she said. "(H)e looked so scared when he told me. He was like, 'Mom I'm gay.' And I thought he was playing, so I looked back because I was driving, and he was all curled up, so scared. And I said, I still love you," Pierce told the station.
Jamel wanted to tell his classmates at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School. "He went to school and said he was going tell people he's gay because he's proud of himself," the mother said.
She said when her son came out, he also opened up about wanting to dress more femininely. Pierce said her son told her, "I know you buy me boy stuff because I'm a boy, but I'd rather dress like a girl."
Just four days after starting school last week and coming out to his classmates, Jamel took his own life. Pierce told KDVR that bullying was a factor.
"Four days is all it took at school. I could just imagine what they said to him," Pierce said. "My son told my oldest daughter the kids at school to

ANY mom would be asking her son how he did at school, day ONE.
Not just the mom of a "gay" kid either, pretty much every parent wants to know how it went.
She *had* to know her son was at risk of bullying, and should have been watching him.
Wow that’s incredibly sad. He was so young.
If the story is as mom is telling it, she should have strongly discouraged him from sharing it with others. We are doing kids a disservice by telling them they need to broadcast everything with the planet. And things are pretty messed up when a child thinks they are gay at 9. I can see interests popping up, but a 9 year old shouldn’t have this level of thoughts in their head...”coming out” and dressing up in fem clothes. Society and parents are making kids into mental cases before they even get a start in life.
I think you are right. I really got bad vibes from her picture. Kinda like she was pushing him on this so called decision and he took the wrong way out. Could be wrong.
Thanks. I wondered what it said.
At nine years old all boys I remembered wanted nothing to do with girls because they were Icky. We all wanted to be members of The HE-MAN WOMAN HATER’S CLUB.
When we turned 13, we began to notice the girls were developing, nicely! Suddenly they weren’t Icky anymore.
Terrible... just terrible... at nine a child should be innocent, I have no words just tears. What are we doing to our children? Turn off the TV, turn off the computers..go to church read old books and pray... a lot.
I don’t understand how a 9 year old could think he was gay!!! What the HELL are 9 year olds NOW sexually active???
how does a nine year old “know” he’s gay? Maybe because someone abused him and told him he was gay.
Look closer. He is both, and his mother has an activist black lives matter t-shirt.
She looks the part of a totally morally messed up leftist. And there is no mention of the boys father. However, that would likely be related to this boys need.
Young children deeply desire love and affection from their parents, and to make their parents happy. Their minds are very open to suggestion and pressure. There is a really good chance this little guy was whatever he thought would make his mother and teachers happy.
However, several parts of this story, combined with what I can see, lead me to believe it is likely the mother was looking for her moment of leftist fame.
I am now convinced it’s a hoax. No one has corroborated the bullying story and the school put out a carefully worded statement that they are investigating.
Meanwhile the mom is spraying her Facebook page relaying conversations she is having with her dead son and she started a fundraising page.
HOAX
The whole thing is messed up. However, this is what the left does. They lie, because their master is the father of THE last lie, and “their foolish hearts are darkened!”
Since they are their own gods, they do not have to worry about moral boundaries.
They will do anything to subject all others to their will.
Another example, albeit unrelated, is when left wing jurist indicted several of Bush’s senior staff/cabinate, when he was running against Clinton/Gore. After Clinton won the election, almost all the indictments we’re dropped immediately. Not because Bush lost, but because the charges were trumped up. It was just to create drama and the national perception Bush had a bunch of law breakers in his cabinate.
Perhaps he was saying things that he knew would get positive feedback from Mom.
I’m A Boy - The Who
One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I’m a boy
My name is Bill, and I’m a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hairpins from my hair
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
Put your frock on, Jean Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
I want to play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
I want to come home all covered in mud
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
