Boy bullied to death

An 11 year old boy hanged himself after being pushed to the brink by school bullies. This has become a serious problem in American schools. MT thinks the increase and severity of bullying is a result many dual working parents and lack of parental involvement coupled with over-indulgence and lack of accountability amongst many children today.

It needs to stop.

BOSTON — The mother of an 11-year-old boy who hanged himself says her son was tormented by classmates who bullied him ceaselessly, according to the Springfield Republican.

Sirdeaner L. Walker found her son, Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, hanging by an extension cord on the second floor of her Springfield home on Monday night. Walker said Carl, a sixth-grade student at the New Leadership Charter School, had been taunted and threatened by classmates for weeks before he killed himself.
