An eight year old boy whose father had brought him to the UK for a good education was found hanging. His 16 year old brother found him hanging from the bed. The boy had behavioral and emotional problems. He was described as a happy child who loved football and playing outdoors. But he did not like doing his schoolwork, with which he struggled. Before he passed away he was spotted with a swelling to his face. Although he did not have close friend he was quite popular and his death had much impact at the school. He was taken to Watford General Hospital where doctors tried for 45 minutes to resuscitate him but it was too late. His neck was swollen and he had a ligature mark on his neck. He had no other injuries. Therefore they are convinced it was suicide.
I was pretty shocked about the article. A boy his age should be playing and enjoying his life. Instead of being a child this boy made the decision to end his life. This must have been horrifying for his father. Burying your child is awful enough but finding your son hanging from his bed with his tongue sticking out must be devastating. I personally think that children are growing up to fast these days. This boy could not cope with the expectations everyone had. Children his age should not be worrying this much about their school results and their future career.
