The kid had problems and shit happens.
That's why the TC had nothing to add, because there is nothing to add.
The only one at fault here is the kid.
The kid is the only one who cannot be faulted by this act. Most 7 year olds do not have the emotional capacity to deal with the shit they might face. It is up to parents, teachers, "Figures of Authority" and friends to help people out when they are that young. The responsibility lies on their many heads.
No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
Society is responsible. We are all responsible.
I am now done. I cannot be bothered trying to explain how wrong it is to assume that a 7 year old has the ability to deal with what the world throws at them without support. Nor can I be bothered explaining just how wrong this quasi-nihilist thought that "Bullying makes you stronger and is essential" is.
TLDR;
Sucks. Kid should have recieved more help. Stop blaming a 7 year old for killing themselves. Doing so makes you a horrible person.
