Cincinnati 8 year old driven to suicide

  • isadore
    A school failed this young boy.
    CINCINNATI — A security camera video taken inside a Cincinnati elementary school reveals that a student assaulted an 8-year-old boy in a restroom and other children may have kicked and struck the boy for 5 minutes while he lay unconscious.
    <!-- cxenseparse_end --><!-- cxenseparse_start -->Two days later, the child, Gabriel Taye, hanged himself.
    <!-- cxenseparse_end --><!-- cxenseparse_start -->In a report obtained by The Cincinnati Enquirer, a Cincinnati Police homicide detective describes the Jan. 24 Carson Elementary School video’s content: “I witnessed behavior that in my belief is bullying and could even rise to the level of criminal assault” if not for the young ages of the perpetrators.
    <!-- cxenseparse_end --><!-- cxenseparse_start -->School officials did not tell Gabriel's mother about the assault or that he had lost consciousness, only that the boy had fainted, said Jennifer Branch, a lawyer for the boy's mother. Gabriel's mother has agreed to identify her child publicly but did not wish to release her own name.

    Is the bullying aspect of this story really a surprise to anyone? I wonder how many of the kids in the video live in a single mother home. I guess most if not all. Direct correlation there in my opinion. The only reason this isn't a bigger story is because the majority of bullies are black. Had that not been the case, this story would would have taken over from Trump/Russia.

    This is beyond bullying...

    I wonder if the "bullies" (way more atrocious than that) were the same age of not more like 5th/6th graders. Hard to imagine 8-yr olds doing that.

    Fair enough. I bet my guesses are true though. I know this site has a lot of PC police, so I expect there are plenty that disagree.
