Brandon Singh Rayat, a 15-year-old Indian-origin boy hanged himself to death allegedly after 16 months of relentless physical and psychological abuse and being bullied in a school in the city of Leicester in the East Midlands region of England. The teenager became suicidal after his own friends turned on him and started calling him a “paedo” and a “faggot”.His mother Mina, 44, also gave the names of her son’s bullies to the school but claims teachers refused to investigate, saying Brandon was being “paranoid.” His depressed parents took him to a psychiatrist who said he was suffering from social anxiety. "Although Brandon received help, he was never detained. His anxiety got worse so that it became a complete phobia. He wouldn't leave the house in case he bumped into anyone from school," she said. In March this year his parents asked doctors to put him in a secure mental unit after he drank bleach, overdosed on paracetamol and cut himself. Mina, a hair and beauty therapist who lives with her husband Raj, 41, a shop worker, said: “We feel totally let down, by both the school and by the doctors.
