“It breaks my heart beyond what words can compare to share that Atreyu took his own life in a moment of unbearable pain,” she wrote in a heartbreaking Instagram post. It was not his fault. He had endured terrible levels of bullying.
“He was only thirteen,” she said. He was worthy of a future. He might still be alive today if the government and school had responded to my request. I pleaded for assistance. I filed grievances. I gave medical documents to them. Nobody paid attention.
“This was not his fault,” McCann stated in a different public statement. The educational system failed him because he endured terrible levels of bullying.
“Now, I respectfully ask for your assistance in saving his life and in combating this cruel wave of child suicides brought on by unchecked bullying by educators and schools.”
