8 year old boy, Gabriel Taye, commits suicide after being bullied by the students of his school. In the picture above you'll notice Gabriel on the floor. Carson Elementary School released footage of the school bathrooms that day. It shows Gabriel being thrown to the ground for no apparent reason. He doesn't move for the next 6 minutes and students are just around him picking on him and kicking him while he's unconscious. Finally a teacher shows up and she is told that Gabriel fainted and they then rushed him to the hospital. It's so sad to see such a beautiful boy take his own life at such a young age. That just goes to show what today's youth is exposed to. He had his whole life ahead of him. Now Gabriel Taye’s January death is being re-examined after it emerged that he was bullied and knocked unconscious at school two days before he died. Hamilton County Coroner Lakshmi Sammarco’s office has ruled Gabriel’s death a suicide, but she said last week that she was reopening the investigation to re-examine the boy’s injuries and whether there were contributing factors to his death.
