makes me think about how my daughter is nearly that age, how on earth could a child do that, feeling so low about stuff they end their own life

Tragic

 

Thats very sad

 

honestly at 8yrs old i wouldnt have had a clue what suicide even was, how times have changed

 

i dont think i did at that age

really sad reading that

 

I was too busy playing with Lego and riding my BMX to even know anything about it.

The media doesn't help though, I can't remember ever hearing about murders much when I was a kid where as these days you can't go for half a day without the news telling you of another tragic story

 

That is such a sad thing to happen Kids seem to have to grow up too fast now.

 

Fuck thats so sad poor wee guy R.I.P.

 

very sad news indeed. Thoughts go to all family.
cant imagine what the poor father must be going through

RIP

 

losing your son and wife in such a short space of time, soul destroying

 

so very sad...my little girl is 9 and doesnt even know what suicide is......how can any 8 year old want to take its own life......rip little one

 

Poor lad... he was obviously missing his mum who died in march.

But like you all say, the littlun shouldnt even know what suicide is at that age!

 

very sad he was so cute too! rip little man.

 

R.I.P little dude

 

Very sad news indeed my boy is nearly 8 makes you think, at 8 i was probably playing with action man not thinking suicide

 

And the father lost his father the year before - poor man.


Poor family.

RIP

 

Poor fella, what a thing to happen

 

seems childhood is a short one these days, i guess its down to technology and the media. kids grow up so fast now days!

how many boys aged under 10 have u seen out after dark in groups. how many girls under 10 have you seen wearing make up and the likes. i guess kids just want to be 'cool' and grown up these days.

at 10 i was happy with a toy cars and teenage mutant hero turtles!

rip little dude

 

My lad is 12 in October, and he doesnt either!

 

i think he basically missed his mum and wanted to see her again so thought if he died he would go to heaven and see her and his grandad, only thing i could think of if i was his age

 

thats shit proper fucking shit

RIP little dude

 

Christ!


Poor little boy, he had to deal with his mum & dad both dieing of that horrbile C word at the age of 8. That is not nice, i really dont know what to say...


RIP that Family

 

Very sad to read R.I.P little guy

 

Yeah i think he thought the same too. I know that was what i thought when my mum died when i was 11. In a childs mind the concept of death is not like an adults so its easy for a child to think they can "join" thier mummy or bring them back.


I do wonder where he got the hanging idea from though. I had no idea of suicide at that age or age 11 and my idea at the time was having big accidents! the concept of suicide is quite advanced for any child that age. Most children that age dont understand the concept that life has an end and that death is final.


Very sad.

 

so so sad

 

I thought the same too.. how would a 8 year old know what to do? It scares me that does.

RIP

I feel for his Dad, who's lost his Dad, wife & son all within a year
