Claudia Lacy says she can accept anything: even that her youngest son committed suicide -- if it's proven and explained to her.
The last time Lacy saw and heard her son was August 28. Lennon, 17, played the lineman position for the West Bladen High School Knights, and was focused on football. His family says that night, he packed a gym bag, washed his ankle brace and hung it on the clothesline to dry before heading out for an evening walk.
The teen had asthma, his mother says, and a doctor had recommended he exercise outdoors at night when the temperature and humidity dropped. Around 10:30, Lennon left his family's small apartment and headed down a dirt road. His family never saw him alive again.
Just before 7:30 the next morning, he was found hanging from the frame of a swing set in the center of a mobile home community. According to medical documents, his body was covered in fire ants.
I also used this article. It made my heart hurt for a minute just thinking about the fact that the world is this cold. When his mother was describing the process she went through trying to figure out what exactly happened to her youngest son, I felt the pain. My mom calls be day and night since I have been riding the Dart to school and at first I didn't know why she was being so annoying, but she knows things can happen, and after reading the article and watching the video, that was made clear to me.

I also find this a shocking reality. The fact that horrid things as these can happen to anyone is usually forgotten in today's world. This is just yet another reminder that anything can happen to anyone.
