This is wrong
a 12 year old lad so
attached to his phone.

Just not worth hanging himself over.


You know some young kids are so strong minded

[Amy Jade]

I bet there was much more to it than just the phone.

Sad either way

[Ammi]

...that's just so sad...how awful for his mum as well..

[AnnieK]

This is awful.

[Kizzy]

The poor family, god knows what possessed him to do this. :(

[Maia]

Yes think there was more to it than just a phone, but sad news :(

[Jake.]

:( how sad

[Gstar]

Wow, this is horrid. Will definitely be following this story

[Patrick]

If it genuinely was over the phone and there wasn't more to it, then he's a ******ing spoilt little brat and quite frankly an idiot to take his own life over a mobile - considering how many people die and would give anything to live another day.

[Kazanne]

I cant comprehend how his mom must be feeling,terrible thing to happen.

[lostalex]

What did he do to deserve having the phone taken away in the first place?

[Kizzy]

What's that got to do with anything alex?

[lostalex]

What's that got to do with anything alex? I'm just curious what he did to have is phone taken away, was it something really bad, or something petty. I'm curious, so shoot me.

I cannot ****ing stand the Daily Mail - spinning a kid's suicide to be about a material and selfish issue. There was clearly something else going on, kids throwing tantrums do not kill themselves. Shameful, implorable journalism, and I'm not surprised.

[Kizzy]

Oh I see, sorry I know it could have been something daft like not eating his tea... it is crazy :(

It's exactly why I don't trust anything I read in the DM.
