I guess that story must have been one of the first.

I saw that story too.The boy had been home from school for quite awhile because he was being picked on by other children.Some from the school and other students said he came to school in mismatched clothes and was often dirty.I think there is a dispute btw the mother and the school as to who let him down the most.The authorites say he lived in a very messy dirty home and was not taken care of by his mom. The mother says the school did not do enough to stop the bullying and he was afraid.If the mother is found quilty of neglect she could go to jail for 10 yrs.No idea who is right or wrong in this case but it is a very sad story. How sad that a 12 yr old boy feels so helples he takes his own life.

I found it ironic that the mother was a teachers aide at the school her son attended.
