    Colin Fraley (10) committed suicide by gunshot

    Urgh

    His mother - https://www.facebook.com/trisa.sauber?fref=ts

    As the school year ends at Scioto Darby Elementary School, Colin Fraley?s friends and classmates are grieving.

    ?It?s going to be hard leaving, knowing that our friend is gone,? Kearsta Thomas said.

    Thomas and her friends are classmates with Fraley in the fifth grade at Scioto Darby Elementary School. Now, they?re grieving the loss of a student who was new this year but who made an impression with his sense of humor and kindness.

    ?He won?t be able to graduate with us,? Kylie Ray, another classmate, said. ?He wasn?t even 11 and that was just like really sad.?

    ?He was hilarious,? Caroline Malone said. ?He made everybody laugh.?

    Thomas said when she learned of her friend?s death on Thursday, she ?fell apart.?

    ?I think it?s going to be really hard, but we?re trying to move forward because it?s the end of the year, we?re graduating from elementary and we?re moving on to sixth grade,? Thomas said.

    ?I?ve never known someone my age who has died like that, who goes to my school, and that was just really hard for me,? Ray said.

    Fraley?s friends are feeling the loss, and their parents are trying to help them through it.

    ?It?s been tough,? said Angela Ely, who is Kearsta Thomas?s mother. ?There?s no manual for this type of thing in parenting and you know, you do the best you can.?

    Counselors were available Friday at Scioto Darby Elementary School to meet with the students.

    Fraley?s parents told NBC4 that the boy had struggled with depression since he was five years old and that they believe it was a suicide.

    Ughhh. What a sad, sad story. Just 10 years old and having been fighting depression since the age of 5... I can't imagine what his family is going through.
    Hopefully now his mind and soul can rest peacefully.

    There's a post on his dads page saying he's a single father... Apologies if I missed something, but was the mother not involved at all?

    It appears they are divorced (per article below).

    Father to crusade for gun safety after son's tragic death

    JACKSON COUNTY, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) -- Twelve days ago Chris Fraley got a call no parent should ever get.

    His youngest son, Colin, a fifth grader at Hilliard Scioto Darby Elementary School, had gotten his hands on a gun -- with deadly consequences.

    "It's horrific," Fraley said quietly.

    "I don't want other parents to have to go through what I'm going through right now."

    Now the grieving dad is on a mission.

    He's calling it "Colin's Crusade," and is urging gun owners to keep their firearms locked up and secure.

    Colin died after finding an unlocked gun at his mother and stepfather's house in Hilliard, something that angers Colin's father.

    "Unfortunately, it's the parents responsibility not having the guns protected and secured. And ammunition not secured. We have to protect our children," he said.

    Fraley said he's not anti-gun.

    "I'm all for people owning weapons, but you need to protect them and secure them. Lock them up and keep your family safe. Save your babies."

    Hilliard Police are investigating the case; no charges have been filed.

    Fuck. This.

    You don't need fucking guns.

    How often do you ever hear about ANYONE successfully (aka no injuries) defending themselves with a gun?

    Seriously. Fuck this.

    People have them successfully. It's the careless gun owners that give guns a bad rap.

    Not all of us are irresponsible. I have multiple guns and not one of them is left where anyone can get to them except my husband and myself.

    It's tragic that such a young child took his own life.
    I have a 10 year old and I just can't fathom it.

    Rip little one.

    This country's love affair with guns disgusts me.

    Seriously. This is why Canada seems so cool. For me (a loser from backwards going Australia), Canada is the nicer, high brother who chills in his room and plays video games all day, while the US is his older brother who is 'hustlin' on the 'grind' yo. I'd be chilling with Canada.

    Not to say I wouldn't love to visit both bros again soon , I just am more likely to die in the US, gunshot by toddler isn't the way I want to go out. At least gunshot by angry white man in a suit, please.

    I'm very conflicted about guns, and I'm trying to absorb all the info I can in order to come to a distinct opinion, but so far that hasn't happened, so I won't comment about that here & now.
    But as far as Canada goes- I often refer to Canadians (& Canadiens) as "our friendly neighbors to the north." I must say I think Daisy may have hit the nail on the head: Canada's the sibling who gets high and plays video games all day! Good one Daisylane!

    As far as this boy killing himself- THAT FREAKS THE HELL OUT OF ME! He was just a kid. Who expects a child to commit suicide? Who would've seen this coming? I'm going to be extra vigilant when it comes to the kids in my life.

    I think the child being dead is enough of a charge.

    Agreed. I don't think the child dying is punishment enough, because if that were enough, they would have learnt from all the other cases of it happening. Charge the owners/person who was meant to have this shit locked away. Fucks.

    Growing up my mom had a gun in our house because she was a single parent and worked nights so my older sisters were there alone (12 hr shifts as a deputy), she taught me about gun safety and told me never to mess with it I never did. Maybe about middle school my mom and Dad(step dad) bought 2 more guns. They took me too the range and taught me how to use it. They are locked with a safety guard and the magazine and ammo is unknown. After hs I remember they went out of town and i was home alone and heard noises outside (we lived in the country) I ran to my mom's room and grabbed the gun and found the ammo to when I opened the gun case the gun was there with the lock on it.....the key was with both of my parents in Alabama. Anyway my parents taught gun safety. I'm of course an adult now and married with my own kids. They have NO idea we even have one. Nowadays I feel that children shouldn't know if there are guns in their home. They won't go looking for something if they don't even know it's there.

    While I respect how you parent your children, I have to disagree that the bolded part is best for all families. My concern would be that an uneducated child (in the sense of gun safety) would randomly find the gun and think it's a toy because their parents didn't teach them otherwise. I think it would be best that children are educated on gun safety and taught not to play with a gun.
    I can be your *ADDICTION* if you wanna get hooked on something!!
