A 10-year-old boy took his own life after being told "kill yourself" by sick school bullies, his mum has claimed. Little Kevin Reese Jr, who was in the fifth grade, was reportedly a target of relentless abuse by cruel trolls at Robinson Elementary School, in Texas, USA.
They even scrawled a sick message on his tablet computer encouraging him to end his life and told him "you don't belong here".He committed suicide on January 21 in his bedroom. He was found dead by his 13-year-old sister. And now his devastated parents are urging schools to do more to stamp out cruel bullying. His grieving mum Crystal Smith said he was a "goofy child" but was continuously picked on by fellow pupils. She said: "They wrote on his tablet to ‘Kill yourself, you don’t belong here."When it got physical back in November, he came home crying because he didn’t fight back and one of the boys punched him several times coming from recess."They (the school) told me they never found any bullying going on."He just had enough. He just had enough and he felt that he was backed into a corner.”Ms Smith also urged parents to "pay attention to your child" and "don’t assume that things are handled at the school".The tragic death comes just a month after a teenage girl recorded a Snapchat video of herself contemplating suicide at a car park and then jumped to her death. Tragic Hailey Nailor, 16, died at the Danbury Fair Mall, in Connecticut, USA, in February.
Police believe Hailey was not prompted to jump by anyone else but her devastated pals claim she was bullied to suicide. A number of cruel images claiming to show youngsters happy at the news of her death were circulated online. Camryn Lucas told her Twitter followers: "I’m in shock, this beautiful soul was lost today because of bullying."Lucas also posted screengrabs of sick Snapchat messages she claims were celebrating the teen's death. One snap, accompanied by a selfie of Hailey, said: "Haha Rest in Peace b****".
