Good question. I'm guessing TV....or being bullied by the "thuglets" at school who were telling him to kill himself.

Very sad.
There is too much missing from this story for any conclusion.

That sucks and is very sad. But in some ways the parents were failing to communicate with their son because they were clueless to the fact the kid was being bullied or failed to recognized changes in his behavior. A great start that I do daily when I get home from work is, how was school? I know when their are changes in my daughters mood or behavior because we talk...

That is understandable. I am sure there is lots of stuff that never crossed your mind.

Forget the reason...I think this is just a sad thing, that an eight year old would not realize the finality of death.

In no way was I condemning the parents, just wondering where they were, afterall this was an 8 year-old found by the 3 year-old.

I got bullied by this prick while going to McNamara HS back in 80 ... I was the goofy klutz wearing Glasses a$$holes loved to pick on ........ and I never talked about to my mother ..... Dad had died in '77


Too bad I do not take a .45 to School and blow the little prick away ..... Had access mom was dating a Gun Collector @ that time ...

luckily I failed French Class and got kicked back down to PS. where I finished without further incident .........
