Telecide Victim Remembered

I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME OLD PAPERS AND I CAME ACROSS THIS OLD NEWSPAPER CLIPPING. I HAD THIS HANGING ON MY BULLETIN BOARD FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS JUST TO REMIND ME HOW TOUGH IT CAN BE TO BE A YOUNG TEEN BOY IN TODAY'S SOCIETY. THIS WAS IN THE EARLY 80'S.

THE FATHER, GENARO GARCIA'S HEARTBROKEN LOOK AS HE COMES TO GRIPS WITH HIS SONS SUICIDE. GENARO JR. KILLED HIMSELF WITH HIS FATHERS GUN BECAUSE THE DAD REMOVED THE TELEVISION SET FROM THE KIDS ROOM AS PUNISHMENT FOR MISSING SCHOOL. 

HIS WIFE AND THREE OTHER CHILDREN SHARE THE SAME STUNNED SAD LOOK THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS AFFECTS ME.

HIS SON WROTE A NOTE SAYING;
"I WILL TAKE MY TV WITH ME IN MY HEART. I LOVE YOU," AND SHOT HIMSELF IN THE HEAD.
