6-Year-Old Boy Hangs Himself Over Parents’ Divorce

A 6-year-old boy hung himself in his family kitchen’s while his mother and stepfather were showering.

The boy’s 7-year-old sister found him hanging from the freezer door and screamed for her parents. The parents rushed down and started performing CPR on the boy until the paramedics arrived. Unfortunately, they were unable to revive him.

Police Chief Mark Clark said that investigators were unable to determine if the young boy intentionally killed himself, but interviews with relatives and school records showed that he was angry over his parents’ divorce two years ago.

Mental health professional Lucas Hooker said that situations like this can be very difficult to understand, especially when a very young child is involved.

Hooker said that some children lack the verbal and cognitive abilities to express their emotions properly and may lash out.
