Did the school know of the bullying, did the parents?

My feeling is that it is the parents who ultimately failed. Suicide means that the victim felt he had no recourse. None at all. But the family should always be there to turn to. I mean no animosity towards the family, but I think it's inescapable that they failed in their role.

OTOH, who knows. Maybe they begged him every night to tell them what was wrong. I wonder.

Please tell me you’re kidding.

Could the mother afford private school? If not, the boy was doomed to four more years of a living hell, institutionalized by force of law for having commited the crime of being born. At 12, four years is an eternity.
