School takes action in bullying of 9 year old. Sort of.

This little boy has now attempted suicide by hanging. They say he is probably permanently brain damaged now.

I'm just sick. Ugh.

Now my heart is broken

Just to reiterate - it's not the same kid. Very similar situation, but weeks and half a state apart.

Still, it is completely heartbreaking.

Could we put this in a different thread? It's not an update.

Woops.

I think my last post still fits, though.

Unless y'all want to discuss the separate incident with the different child (geeze louise

), we can leave it here. If we do want to talk about it, I can split it off into a different thread.

It's so strange that the circumstances of both cases were so similar, so close together in timing, and in the same state.

It does seem that, however ridiculously the OP's situation was bungled, the outcome is much better than poor Michael Morones'.

Okay, this isn't the same kid. Not that it makes the story any better. It's devastating. The child in the original post in 9 year old Grayson Bruce in Candler, NC (10 minutes from where I live) and his story went down earlier this month.

This link is regarding an 11 year old, Michael Morones, who lives near Raleigh (four hours away) and his bullying and desperate reaction happened in February.

I couldn't understand how this wasn't on our local news.

I'm very sorry about the confusion. I thought it was the same child--both were young victims of school bullying in NC and were "Bronies."

No need to be sorry! The circumstances are so similar. I was just weirded out that it wasn't on our news and then realized the confusion.

I only said that because it seemed to be confusing people, and it really has nothing to do with this situation and how the school reacted.
