Tragic Online Game Suicide: Michigan Juvenile Charged in Texas Child's Death

A child in Texas died by suicide while playing an online game, and a juvenile male from Michigan has been charged with harassment causing death and aiding suicide. The investigation began after deputies responded to a call about a suicide and found the child dead, still wearing a gaming headset and appearing to be online. Following months of investigation and interviews with members of an online gaming group, charges were brought against the Michigan boy. The identities of those involved have not been publicly disclosed due to their status as juveniles. The Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable's Office is taking cyberbullying cases seriously and will continue to investigate.
