Thank you for sharing. What a kind and strong son you have. It takes strength for an 8 year old to share that with his parents. You must be a wonderful parent for him to feel safe and secure sharing that with you.
When my son was 14 he nervously, hesitantly, and crying, told me that he was gay. I was one of those parents that had no idea (he had a girlfriend in middle school, dated, etc.). He's my world. I love him and couldn't care less. I just worry about his safety. He's now an adult but when he was applying to colleges, I found an entrance letter he had written on his computer. He explained the bullying and torment he experienced in middle school. I had no idea and my heart was broken. It's still broken to this day because of the guilt I feel for not knowing what he was going through during those middle school years. I know my son's situation isn't the same as your son but I truly believe your son will grow up and be a happy and content man.
As far as this case, I completely agree with you. I don't believe for a second that this young boy thought up this plan, grabbed the dog leash, chairs, his sister, and effectively executed all of this. No way. MOO
Please give him a hug from Gitana1. I went through the same in middle school. Actually 6th through 9th. Got through it strong and learned to fight. But when I hear of a child enduring the same it hurts my heart.
