Mitchell Wilson, 12, Commits Suicide by Suffocating After Being Bullied Because Of His Disability

TRAGEDY: Mitchell Wilson, who suffered with muscular dystrophy, committed suicide by suffocating himself after months of being bullied and robbed of his iPhone. According to the Daily Mail, he was beaten by another boy at the school, as he was out walking. The attacker was arrested and removed from the school, but Mitchell's father said his son was never the same after the attack.

Mitchell committed suicide and was found dead in his bedroom earlier this month on the day he was due to start a new school year. It was also one day after he received a subpoena to testify against his alleged attacker, who cannot be identified for legal reasons. Mr Wilson said his son was embarrassed and apologised to him because he could not stop the attacker beating him up. Source

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mitchell Wilson. I wish the parents of all the bullies out there would realize their children are inflicting more harm in the schools and their communities. Take a stand against bullying. One kid who kills himself because he is scared of being picked on and beaten is one kid gone too soon.
