8 yr old found hanged after deaths in the family...
 
Quote:

An eight-year-old boy has been found hanged in his bedroom in Lancashire.
Joshua Aldred was found unconscious by his grandmother in Lytham on Thursday night. He was taken to hospital in Blackpool but died a short time later.
Joshua's mother and grandfather had recently died from cancer and his family believe it was a cry for help.
His father Jason Aldred said: "He missed his mother and spoke of her often. Our very close relationship was of immense support to both of us."

He probably did show that he was upset, but it is hard to think of 8yr olds hanging themselves really. I have a 9yr old sister and I cant contemplate her doing something like that, even if she was extremely upset. Even if she said to me 'I want to die' I don't think I would really expect her to do such a thing. I think this is a terrible tragedy, and I hope that he will be reunited with his mother and grandfather in heaven.

know what it like to lose mum, at my age it hard, but for a young child, it must be something his brain could not comprehend, losing 2 relatives, may he now find peace.

At eight years old I doubt he had the language skills and vocabulary to open up, let alone the emotional experience.

A terrible shame and I have no idea how the remaining family will cope

Think you have got me misread on this, what I was trying to say was there are people in schools trained to pick up on the talk or lack of about the deaths of close relatives. In no way do I doubt that this little boy is beside himself with grief but can imagine he didn't want to make his daddy feel even more upset. That is where the counsellors come into their own, just being able to offload a tiny proportion of how he felt might just have helped him. RIP Joshua

Gosh, what a tragedy. Poor kid must have been hurting so much. Must be just terrible for the father to have to go on.
