Rittman--A 13-year-old boy violently ended his life on February 23 in a desperate act he felt was his only escape from the ceaseless anti-gay bullying he faced at school daily.
Nicholas Kelo Jr. played football in middle school, but switched to band when he made the transition to high school, which his mother Jacqueline believes might have spurred the bullying.
When she returned home from work on February 23, she found him near death from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He died at Akron Children’s Hospital.
