BOSTON -- Sirdeaner Walker, 44, has been surrounded by family after discovering her son, Carl Walker-Hoover, 11, hanging by an extension cord in the third-floor landing of the family's Northampton Avenue home in Springfield.

Walker said her boy, upset yet again over another bullying episode at school, had committed suicide.

"They were always saying, 'you're gay, you must be gay, you act like a girl,'" said Walker.

This is the sort of report that leaves me spluttering incoherently.

Having sat through 30 showings of The Laramie Project I'm pretty calloused. I'm angry at the culture that picks on someone for not being 'masculine' whateverTHEFUCKthatmeans.

Where were that boys parents? Didn't they know how much turmoil he was in?

Wherever they were they were doing a bad enough job of being parents that they gave their kid depressive reactions and thought patterns that chose suicide as a solution

Where the hell was the school administration? Why didn't they do more to protect their students.

Because they didn't like him? Because they didn't have to? Teachers can be lazy and selfish like anyone else.

What were the bully's parents doing? Didn't they care that their kid was tormenting a classmate?

Lets face it, they were probably encouraging their kids to think of homosexuals as inferior to 'normal' people. They were probably glad that their kid was 'in' the crowd and not 'out' of it.
