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.
