Aaron Dugmore
2003 – 2013
Erdington, Birmingham
Aaron Dugmore, a 9-year-old boy, was found hanged at his home in Erdington, Birmingham, in February 2013.
His family believes he took his own life after suffering sustained racist bullying at school for being White. Despite his parents repeatedly raising concerns, the school failed to act.
Aaron’s death devastated his family, who have spoken of the unbearable pain of losing their bright, loving little boy.
He is deeply missed every single day by his parents and siblings, who carry the heavy grief of a child taken far too soon by cruelty he should never have faced.
Rest in peace Aaron. You will not be forgotten.
