    Mom says 9-year-old son killed himself after being bullied, coming out as gay

    http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/38968664/mom-says-9-year-old-son-killed-himself-after-being-bullied-over-sexuality

    (Meredith) -- A Colorado mother said her 9-year-old son committed suicide just weeks after coming out as gay, and she believes bullying is partly to blame for his death.


    Leia Pierce told KDVR-TV her son, Jamel Myles, started fourth-grade at Joe Shoemaker Elementary School in Denver on Monday.


    The mom said Jamel told her he was gay over the summer.


    “He looked so scared when he told me,” she said. “And I said, ‘I still love you.’”


    With a new-found confidence, the 9-year-old boy was excited to come out to his classmates.


    “He went to school and said he was going to tell people he’s gay because he’s proud of himself,” Pierce said.


    Four days into the school year, she found her son dead.


    “Four days is all it took,” Pierce said. “My son told my oldest daughter the kids at school told him to kill himself. I’m just sad he didn’t come to me.”


    Denver Public Schools said in a letter to parents that it’s providing a crisis team for students affected by this tragedy. The district also said it will continue to offer support for Jamel’s family.

    Exactly.

    It’s possible he could have been confused from all the stuff on TV.

    Who knows. Very sad.

    I can remember being that age, and there was a boy who acted very feminine and he got picked on a bit for it. Later on when we were teenagers in middle and high school, it was obvious that he was gay. Just because the 9 year old kid wasn't blowing other boys in the bathroom doesn't mean that he wasn't attracted to boys at that age.

    I remember a story about a 6 year old boy who lived as a little girl and wanted to use the girl's restroom in school. They interviewed the parents and the father was more feminine than the mother.

    Here you go. This sounds like some sick fetish the parent's had. They raised this boy as a girl since 18 months because the baby showed signs that it liked "girl" things.

    These parents should be in jail.

    Sometimes I reckon the parents are trying to push it on the kids.

    I wonder if the kid told his parents that he was Batman, they'd have dressed him up and bought him a batmobile. Kids say all sorts of stupid shit when they are young. The kid isn't even close to puberty. Terrible parenting.

    Parents probably dressed the kid like girl early on or something, kid gets bullied.. Kid checks out.. 9 years old is too young to know if you are gay or not.. Something is a miss here...

    Is this a video of said child and parents or is this just an example?
