A Utah community mourning the loss of a bright, young boy who died by suicide at the tender age of 12. According to CBS station KUTV, Drayke Hardman passed away last week after being picked on at school for more than a year.
It’s especially hard for the boy’s parents, Samie and Andrew Hardman, who did everything to prevent this from happening but unfortunately have been forced to see this day.
The Hardmans revealed how they would repeatedly check on their boy’s mental health. They even asked him to share if he was having any suicidal thoughts but Drayke always assured them that he was fine. “He said, ‘no, no,’ and it was almost like he was disgusted that I would have even asked him,” a devastated Samie told KUTV according to PEOPLE.
