16 year old boy hanged himself in woods after classmates bullied him ‘for years’ for being gay (photos)

Cameron Warwick, 16, was found dead, after struggling with abuse from classmates over his sexuality, an inquest heard.

Cameron, from Fareham, near Portsmouth, had struggled with autism and depression, and came out as gay when he was 12-years-old.

The young boy's heartbroken mother, Kerry Warwick claims he was bullied by pupils at his school, with other boys even throwing things at him during lunch breaks.

She said after the hearing:

They would bully him and isolate him. They would throw things like food at him, trip him up in the corridor, and call him horrible names like 'autistic f***

The bullies would prey on the fact he was gay. He was ostracised, with pupils refusing to sit with him and calling him names.

By Year 10, he had resigned himself to the bullying.

Just before his death, Cameron had seen a breakdown in a romantic online relationship with 18 year old Christopher Robertson, the inquest heard.

In a statement, Christopher told the inquest: 

I believe Cameron was relentlessly bullied at school by other students for coming out as gay.

Bill Ashcroft, a school friend of Cameron's, added: 

One boy at school told him he was ugly.
