Police will look closely at the death of Jamey Rodemeyer. They have opened a criminal investigation to see if charges can be applied for the online bullying.
The Amherst Police Department's Special Victims Unit has said it will determine whether to charge some students with harassment, cyber-harassment or hate crimes. Police said three students in particular might have been involved. Jamey was a student at Heim Middle School.Jamey's Facebook is still receiving hateful comments. It's really sad that these incidents continue to haunt our youth.
Jamey had just started his freshman year at Williamsville North High School. (Both Amherst and Williamsville are just outside Buffalo.) But the bullying had begun during middle school, according to his parents. He had told family and friends that he had endured hateful comments in school and online, mostly related to his sexual orientation.

Wonder Man, I like getting the news before it's news. I saw this again on tv and I feel the parents are glad their son is dead. I saw no emotion in their eyes at all, let a lone a tear. This stinks.
