Sounds more like mommy dearest perpetrated a little case of Munchausen by proxy.
Nine year olds don’t know enough about love or sex to make such a decision.
At his age, he should NEVER have heard the word “homosexual” or “gay”.
Nor should a nine year old have the slightest idea how to commit suicide.
This is how the evil left destroys the family. Poor baby.
At 8/9 I didn’t know what gay was.
These days ? Probably way more than we hear about or even say they are.
What should we expect the way scroollz are now, the Kids are tossed into the LBTGZFFR crap and they don’t know what to think...
Maybe his daddy taught him about sodomy
Not likely.
died by suicide?
Bullying was a factor
Yes. Even if an 8-9 year old is having curious sexual thoughts, they are only that and they will need quite a few years to understand the social and personal import of those. Suicide indicates something immediately very serious and damaging to such a young child.
I figured FReepers would all have their knickers in a twist over the gay thing and show zero sympathy for this family. I wish I had been wrong.
A nine year old — any Age kid —- should be able to say how he feels no matter what. He said he feels gay. Everyone sees gay and straight in society. Every classroom or school has gay families. They see it on tv or hear about it. Was he homosexual? Who knows? That isn’t the point.
So his mommy saw him in pain over how he felt, and she probably spent hours making sure he knew he was perfect however he was, like any good parent would. He felt good about himself. He went in to tell all his friends, and their discomfort made them act out probably on a playground away from authority figures. He had thought he was ok. Now he sees that in the Outside World, he isn’t fit to live. He probably doesn’t even want to disappoint his parents or make them feel bad, so he decides he is unfixable and does something about it.
It’s heartbreaking. Whether he said he was gay or felt like a girl or whatever, that isn’t the issue. Children are allowed to have feelings. All problems can be worked through. But sending him into 4th grade all full of Gay Pride was probably not the greatest idea. Poor kid, poor family. RIP.
I believe this woman has other kids. In a decent society, they would be removed from her home, and she would be placed in solitary confinement until her natural death.
I remember having the hots for girls my age since first grade. They seemed like old ladies then, but now we’re about the same age
“I think there is abuse of a gay nature.”
You are correct, sir. (Except I refuse to use the euphemism, “gay.”)
I'd be willing to bet money some or all of this story is a lie baked up by a complete loon mother, and that the story has nothing to with homosexuality other than perhaps sexual abuse in the family.
Her comments are just weird, off.
The activist mother abused the child while he was alive, and she continues to use the child as a prop.
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.
If this was a workplace the employer would be facing a lawsuit.
Why are the schools not held to the same standard?
As an employer, I don’t have the option to only say I have a policy in place. The only thing that counts is a result of no harassment.
Poor kid. The person who put that idea in his head will face judgment of one kind or another.
Children can be vile. A shame this poor little boy felt so alone and despondent that he took his own life. He was 9 years old, for pity’s sake! I bet he had been bullied for years. Rest in peace, baby boy. God has got you now.
