TENNESSEE: After having just lost one of our own to a horrible case of bullying this case is now making headlines. We chose to share this to help be a voice for kids in needs and this horrific treatment to stop.
Authorities in Stewart County, TN confirm they are investigating the death of a 12-year-old boy.
Sheriff Frankie Gray advises the child was found last night.
The circumstances remain under investigation, but the sheriff advised it appears the boy took his own life by hanging himself.
No indication that he left a note.
The sheriff is looking into reports that the boy — a 7th grader — was possibly the victim of bullying.
AGAIN, JUST HEARTBREAKING.
