A Michigan teenager faked
her suicide in a social media prank, leading to her 11- year-old
boyfriend to take his own life.
Tysen Benz hanged himself
after he received texts and
read social media posts that said his 13-year-old
girlfriend had committed
suicide, his mother, Katrina Goss, told the Associated
Press.
Goss found her son in his
room, saying the incident
took place in a span of about 40 minutes.
The family later learned the girlfriend was still alive. Goss said she
disapproved of her son's relationship with the older girl, and tried
contacting her parent and aunt to stop the two from seeing each other.
The boy allegedly purchased a cellphone from a friend in secret so he
could communicate with the girl,according to the New York Post.
Goss described her son on
the GoFundMe page as an
"all around amazing child"
who was charismatic,
athletic and a comedian. The family is "completely heartbroken" over his
death, she said.
"I want Tysen to be
remembered as he was and all the joy he's brought to everyone. Keep
his spirit alive by standing strong & fighting against social media
bullying!!" she wrote in the statement.
