This is about Tysen Benz, an 11-year-old lad from Michigan. Though the distressing incident took place in 2017, but it should be used as a reminder as to the frequently shattering effects of bullying that is widespread in schools throughout the United States.
Tysen terribly decided to pass away by suicide after a social media hoax played on him on March 14, 2017. He was hurried to a hospital, where he was put on life support. Unfortunately, he never well again and died just after one month.
Tysen’s brokenhearted mom, Katrina Goss, decided to take action to make sure that the issue of bullying amid schoolchildren isn’t one brushed off casually nor overlooked even in the slightest of degrees.
According to a report, Tysen was the prey of a harsh social media prank by his girlfriend he was seeing then. He had been dating a 13-year-old girl when she posed as somebody different online to pretend Tysen into trusting that she had pass away.
Tysen was clearly distressed by this and tried to hang himself the very same evening and he was tragically found by his mom.
You are my hero! ❤️💔 So very loved & missed babe! #karma
