It started last November when on one of his daily walks, Mitchell was jumped and mugged by a 12-year-old boy he knew from his elementary school.

The older child took Mitchell’s iPhone, which he borrowed from his father and smashed his face into the pavement, breaking his teeth.

From then on, Mitchell was afraid to go to school, going so far as to tell his grandmother, ‘If I have to go back to that school, I’ll kill myself.’

As Reported By The CTV:

Wilson was found dead in his bedroom on Sept. 6 – on the morning he was to start a new school year and one day after he was subpoenaed to testify against his alleged attacker. Craig Wilson said his son felt tormented by bullies at school who picked on him because of disability. He said his son grew uncharacteristically moody and irritable after the attack and stopped going on walks that doctors had said would help stave off the effects of muscular dystrophy.

We are saddened by this recent case of bullying, our thoughts and prayers are with the Wilson family. For information on how you can help, click over to stopbullying.gov.
