“My 12 year old nephew took one of the hardest decisions a person can take. To live or not to live. He decided this world was a bit too much for him. Bokang Pitso took his own life this past Friday after an incident took place at school.
For the life of me I never understand how some kids can be so mean and find joy in tormenting others.
There is so much that happened this past Friday but due to the fact that a case is still open I can say much. But what I do know Friday ended with Bokang dead. I am angry, hurt and devastated.
My 6 year old niece found him hanging. I am not ok. My family is not ok.”
