“An 8-year-old Claremont, N.H., resident suffered rope burns after an Aug. 28, 2017, incident involving teenagers. The incident is under investigation.”

Horrifying!

It’s appalling to me, though not surprising, that this isn’t widespread news. Until now, I’ve only seen this story on The Root.

It’s in the Boston Globe, NYT, and Washington Post, among other outlets, but it’s just started hit the media outside NH in the last 24 hours or so. Just awful. It sounds like the older boys tricked him into putting the noose around his neck.

wasn’t an accident.
