| RIP Mitchell Wilson |
I can’t fathom the torture this poor kid endured for much of his young life. Words fail.
By his 11th birthday, Mitchell Wilson had already endured a lifetime of pain.
He was 8 when his mother died of cancer three years ago.
The next year he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, a degenerative and incurable disease that was slowly destroying his muscles and would one day leave him paralyzed.
And last November, while on one of his prescribed daily walks, Mitchell was jumped by a 12-year-old boy he knew from his elementary school in Pickering. The older child, who was after the iPhone Mitchell borrowed from his father to listen to music while he walked, smashed Mitchell’s face into the pavement so hard he broke some of the boy’s teeth.
The attack, Mitchell’s parents say, led their son on a downward spiral which culminated in his suicide earlier this month.
