It seems we read about the suicide of kids much more lately and I have to wonder what is so wrong in a 9 year old life that he would commit suicide.

    Thanks to alisilver for the link.

    THE COLONY, Texas —  A 9-year-old boy was found hanged in the bathroom of a Dallas-area elementary school in an apparent suicide, police said Friday.

    Authorities in The Colony say the fourth-grader was found by staff at Stewart’s Creek Elementary School on Thursday afternoon. Lt. Darren Brockway said that the boy “had reportedly hung himself in a bathroom” and was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. Autopsy results are pending.

    Police in The Colony, a middle-class lakeside town about 20 miles north of Dallas, are investigating the circumstances of Montana Lance’s death but don’t expect any criminal charges. The school district confirmed the basics of the incident but declined to comment further because of privacy concerns.

    At the small brick house where the boy lived, a couple was sitting solemnly in an open garage Friday.

    “No, no, it’s too early,” the man said, declining to discuss the boy’s death.

    A team of grief counselors met people at the school Friday. They will be available to students, parents, teachers and staff through next week, said Lewisville Independent School District spokeswoman Karen Permetti.
