I’ll self-censor on this one too.
Unfortunate...
No comment from Dad in the article?
I don’t think we’re getting the whole story here. Something smells.
I’d look closely at the mom.
"...9 y.o. Denver boy dies by suicide..."
No need for the Death Penalty on this one...
A 9 year old would NOT know if he is gay..that is something the mother planted into his head..I wonder if this poor child was molested, poor kid may he RIP
Incredibly important as a parent to make sure that YOUR KIDS are NOT bullying others.
And also super important to look for warning signs that your kids are being bullied.
My son had inexplicable bruises on his body. After literally screaming at him, he confessed that a kid at school had been kicking him.
The school covered it all up and tried to ignore me, but I made a big stink about it.
But, first responsibility is to make damn sure YOUR KIDS aren’t making anyone miserable.
Sad, sad, sad....
Worst is from 4th to 9th grade. Kids mature a great deal once they hit highschool, but that in between period is really bad. Was for me, and my 4 kids have all dealt with this stuff. A suicide at Jr High here from a gal with no hair, was taunted for it.... Argh, makes me mad...
Mom’s fault. She should have taken him to a shrink, got him help for his alleged homosexuality.
I feel terrible for this young boy. But no 9 year old is capable of determining that he is gay. No 9 year old is capable of determining he is straight, either - pre-pubescent children don’t have sexual urges, though some adults insist on taking the babblings of children as justification for treating them as gay.
Pride goeth before a fall.
Not likely a nine year old even knows what gay means.
Apparently mom was encouraging the kid to act on his mental illness. I don’t see any reference to a dad. They don’t say how he killed himself. They dont even describe any alleged bullying. There’s a lot to this story that is being left out.
Maybe if she'd sat him down and told him that he was just a gullible moron who didn't even understand what being a homo meant, he would still be alive. But then she couldn't pretend to be a martyr and the media would have to find some other "victim" to lie about.
No way a 9 year old knows anything like that. His ‘discovery’ was the direct result of entertainment media and public school indoctrination.
Sad, sad situation.
As I recall, girls were still pretty icky until around 6th grade. Coming out as gay in fourth grade? What the heck is wrong with parents?
Pathetic that this little kid would not be taken to help for his “gayness.” Just an outrage. No nine year old is a homosexual unless perhaps he was being molested. Something really stinks in the case of this little guy.
Young and confused. Sympathy yes; understanding yes; condem the bullying, yes; but, in my view, some of what the kid was dealing with has been delivered and created by an agenda and the media’s selling of that agenda - the whole LBG & Trans agenda.
Why wouldn’t any number of more kids be “confused” today, when they are being fed daily the idea that “being confused about your gender” is normal and O.K. That just helps troubled kids blow minor things in their heads into major ones - it creates questioning where questioning would either not have been, or would have been dismissed before.
There is one popular children’s book that actually promotes suicide.
That’s a very sad story, but the Mom should have thought ahead. Somethings still haven’t changed about most children when they are the one’s making the rules. The ‘penalty’ or negative consequence for cross dressing is still much, much more negative and severe when it’s a boy deciding to dress like a girl.
Women and girls dress in men’s clothing a lot of the time, nobody bats an eye. Girls will wear a black and white tux to the prom. People think it’s ‘cute’. If there was a Dad figure in this boy’s life, I suspect he would have vetoed that ‘wearing girls clothes to school’ idea.
This idea was probably put into the student’s minds way back in First and Second Grade. There are so many subtle ways to sneak this propaganda into the school systems without having to ask parents about it.
