A boy of nine who was found hanged is believed to have killed himself after he was ‘bullied for being white’ by an Asian gang at school.

Aaron Dugmore – thought to be one of the youngest children in the UK to commit suicide – was discovered in his bedroom after being tormented for months, his parents said.

They said Aaron was threatened with a plastic knife by one Asian pupil, who warned him: ‘Next time it will be a real one.’

He was also allegedly told by another pupil that ‘all the white people should be dead’ and he was forced to hide from the bullies in the playground at lunchtime.

Aaron’s mother, Kelly-Marie Dugmore, 30, and stepfather Paul Jones, 43, said that despite complaints to the school, nothing was done to stop the bullying.

Aaron had recently started in Year Five at Erdington Hall Primary School in Birmingham, a school where 75 per cent of pupils come from ethnic minority backgrounds.

According to staff at the school he had already ‘settled in quickly’ with his classmates after he joined the school last September when his family moved nearby.

The school, which caters for 450 pupils aged three to 11, received an ‘inadequate’ rating by Ofsted inspectors last year.



Aaron was discovered by Miss Dugmore hanged in his bedroom at the family home in the Erdington district of Birmingham at about 6pm on February 11.

He was taken to Birmingham Children’s Hospital where doctors desperately attempted to revive him but he died the following day from a suspected cardiac arrest.

His mother said she was convinced the taunts led to her son killing himself.

‘Aaron got on with all the children at his last school, and for him to have been bullied because of the colour of his skin makes me feel sick to my stomach,’ she said.

Mr Jones said that from Aaron’s first day of joining the school he had noticed a change in him.

‘He became argumentative with his brothers and sisters, which wasn’t like him at all,’ he added.

‘Eventually he told us that he was being bullied by a group of Asian children at school and had to hide from them in the playground at lunchtime.’

His mother claimed she went to see the head teacher of the school several times only to be told: ‘You didn’t have to come to this school, you chose to come here.’


A neighbour of the boy’s grandmother earlier told how ‘he had been targeted by a gang of older bullies at the school’.

She said: ‘They made fun of him because he was the new kid but no one really thought it was any more than playground stuff.’

An inquest was opened at Birmingham Coroner’s Court last week but was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

Detective Inspector David Wallbank, of West Midlands Police, confirmed that the force was investigating allegations that Aaron was being bullied in the run-up to his death.

daily mail is similar to Somali news sites.....full of shit.

I hate the Daily Bullshit with a passion but I won't be surprised if this is true. I know of Somali children who were bullied very badly by Pakistani kids that they needed hospitalisation, my own siblings were bullied, called racist names like 'bengali fish' kali etc thankfully they had some good friends. Don't send your children to Asian {pakistani/bengali} majority schools or Chav majority schools.

unless you live in the posh part of town/postcode, you cant get in.

Please reconsider your comment. No one, not even the Daily Fail, deserves to be insulted like that.

You should've been aborted.

he probably comes from a poor home, broken family, alcoholic stepfather who use to beat him and God knows what, most white kids from poor backgrounds are like this, school is their escape, when they face a little trouble in school they literally lose the will to live.

I went to a pakistani masjid for dugsi when I was around 13, and Pakistani are the most welcoming people, unfortunately they hate Gaalo/Kafirs so much that if I were not Muslim they would probably have ganged up on me. In General I don't like asians, its like they have no heart, they can do the worse abuse, I have seen it with my own eyes some Pakistani kids forcing another kid one of their own to eat horse shit, I wouldn't do that even to a Gaal.

Indians and Pakies bullying others , my god what time we are living , i remember slapping these guys in the face when i was young and calling them "rafiiq" . You somalis in UK must have a huge wet coochie, wtf , pakies bullying somalis.. thats it am gone am going to shoot myself, utter shame.

New kids usually get bullied. It is worse when you go to a school where your people don't go to. If your people are there than you have more protection from bullies since bullies like to bother kids that are alone. But it is important for kids to know how to defend themselves. I used to slap any kid that bullied me.

9yrs old? da'daas bu noloshi isaga qaadey subxanallah.

There is a good chance his parents murdered him and blaming it on suicide. Reminds me the story of Jodi Arias.

‘Aaron got on with all the children at his last school, and for him to have been bullied because of the colour of his skin makes me feel sick to my stomach,’ she said.

a white person saying that. it has a strange feel to it
