Wash Post - Boy Hanged I cannot even fathom something like this happening. It hits especially hard with me as I have an 8 year old son. Within the last few weeks, one my son's 9 y/o classmates attempted to strangle himself (unsuccessfully) in a possible psychotic episode. Nine years old, why?
Kids generally have a knack for getting over something a lot better than adults do. But I think some people forget how hard and lonely it can be as a kid.
