Tragedy ... Aaron Dugmore

Heartbreak ... mum Kelly-Marie Dugmore and stepdad Paul Jones

Aaron Dugmore — thought to be one of Britain’s youngest suicides after
bullying — was found in his bedroom after months of jibes at school, they
claim.
THE devastated family of a nine-year-old boy who hanged himself say he took
his life after racist taunts by Asian bullies.
His family say that Aaron was threatened with a plastic KNIFE by one
Asian pupil — who warned him: “Next time it will be a real one.”
Aaron joined Erdington Hall primary in Birmingham last September after the
family moved nearby. But Kelly-Marie, 30, and stepdad Paul Jones, 43,
noticed a change in him from his first day.
Paul said: “He became argumentative with his brothers and sisters, which
wasn’t like him at all. Eventually he told us that he was being bullied by a
group of Asian children at school and had to hide from them in the
playground at lunchtime. He said one kid even said to him, ‘My dad says all
the white people should be dead’.”
“I went to see head Martin Collin a few times, but he only said, ‘You didn’t
have to come to this school, you chose to come here’.”
Martin Collin is the School's Head Master
