8-Year-Old Boy Commits Suicide After
Violent Bullying Incident (Video)
May 15. 2017
Adorable 8-year-old Gabriel Taye committed suicide
after he was bullied at school by another student, in an
incident caught on tape. During the January 24, 2017
bullying incident at Carson Elementary School in Cincinnati,
Gabriel walked into the bathroom where several students were
beating up another boy. Gabriel tried to shake the hand of
one of the boys and was pushed against a wall, where he hit
his head, fell unconscious for several minutes and developed
a concussion.

After the incident, Gabriel began throwing up
and complaining of stomach pains, which are symptoms of a
concussion. However, Gabriel's school did not inform his
mother of what had truly happened to him, merely stating he
fainted. As such, his concussion was misdiagnosed by doctors
as a virus.
Gabriel was sent home to recover from the
stomach pains and vomiting. Two days later,
Gabriel hanged himself from his bunkbed with a necktie,
while alone in his bedroom. His family is devastated by what
has happened. No
one expects an 8-year-old to commit suicide, as it is a rare
occurrence. However, it has happened before, at a rate of
approximately 14 pre-teens per year in America.
Gabriel sustained a traumatic brain injury
when he hit his head against the wall during the bullying
incident. It is a known fact that people with traumatic
brain injuries are sometimes prone to depression and
suicidal thoughts. This aspect of a traumatic brain injuries
must be monitored and treated by medical professionals to
prevent the victim/patient from hurting themself. My condolences to Gabriel's family and
friends on his tragic passing.
