Montana Lance – Age 9
Montana Lance was a nine-year old fourth grader when he took his life in the nurses station restroom at Stewart Creek elementary school in The Colony, Texas in January 2010. He hung himself. You see, Montana had a lisp and was learning disabled. The other students harassed and bullied Montana calling him names. According to his parents, interviewed by CBS 11 of Dallas/Fort Worth, he had been harassed by his classmates for two years.

This is just sooo sad. It just goes to show how messed up this society is that they drive a 9 yr old precious little boy all the way to suicide. 🙁 heartbreaking
My 9 year old daughter came home crying her eyes out because a girl was getting picked on because of the clothes she wore and stuff like that. She told me she couldn’t take it no more that it hurt and wanted to know what to do.I told her to take a stand and tell whomever will listen. I myself also called the school.
