re: Black Alabama girl, 9, commits suicide after classmates taunt her for having white friend

It is highly likely that she did not commit suicide at age 9 because of taunting.

I am almost certain there are other important issues at play. I won’t speculate because it’s not fair to the little girl.

I will. I have some serious doubts. No doubt kids can be cruel but I wouldnt have even known how to hang myself at 9 years old. Probably couldnt have properly tied a knot to do so. I certainly wouldnt choose hanging if I did.

Taunting simply doesnt cause 9 year olds to kill themselves, else wed be seeing it all the damn time. Her autopsy should have checked for sexual abuse.
