He Drank Poison for fear of His father: Now, He's Dead

I received one of the most horrible and awful news on Sunday evening about a 16 year old SS1 student of Opi High School, Opi Nsukka. The boy in question (name and picture) withheld was said to be in the habit of beating up his younger ones whenever his father is not around. In response to that, the father scolds him whenever he is back for such actions. It happened that on Friday, 24th September, this boy repeated the same action and afraid that his father would scold him again, went and drank chemicals meant for weeds. He was rushed to the hospital where he was shortly recuperated only to finally pass to the great beyond on Sunday evening being 27th September.
Up till now, I have been dumbfounded by such news as I even know the deceased in person. To me, there is a satanic manipulation somewhere but I only have hope in the victory that God has given us over over him.
Advice to parents and family members: Please, always observe the mood and countenance of your children/family members and always encourage not to think suicidally.
