Teen commits suicide after being questioned about sexual encounter

Corey Walgren was 16 when he jumped to his death from the top of a Chicago-area parking deck. His family says he did it about an hour after school officials and a police liaison questioned him about possible images of a sexual encounter with a 16-year-old girl on his phone. Now his parents are going to court. Dana Kozlov of WBBM-TV reports.

A 16 year old involved with another 16 year old can become a registered as a sex offender huh? Some laws don't need protecting. This is one of them.

What was the school thinking???? They had NO rights to question him without his parents and then lied about what was and wasn't on his phone and the biggest tragedie was letting that young man walk away. Some people have no right to work in a school district.

Hope his parents sue for a million dollars and give jail time to the ones who did that to him.

police threats again...bad behavior of a public protector causes a death. i hope this bites those responsible.

Congrats to the system; another young man's life needlessly ended; men are committing suicide younger all the time

Rest In Peace, may justice be served and may the good Lord hold you close.

its none of their damn business.. unless it was a rape situation that needed investigation..

[CaptainChapin]

I think that’s hilarious that this county will try to charge this child as an adult, but two teenagers weren’t charged in Tennessee for distributing naked photos of another teen which caused him to commit suicide. I’m not surprised that this happened in the southern state.

They get to us through our children.
Resist.

It's a teen boy with nude pictures of a teen girl. I don't see why it would be illegal if their both the same age. Now if he was 40 then it would be weird. Teachers were wrong. Parents should sue the school.

i am so so sorry i one time got questioned
about smth i never did

Schools need to calm down with their laws along with all 50 states. There has to considerations of age groups. I strongly believe that if u are only 3 years apart in age it's fine. The U.S.A. has such a problem with minors then allow 18 year olds to drink and go to bars because not allowing them ur only increasing the risk of them being in relationships with miners.

How fragile are kids though that they instantly commit suicide?

[izzyveleaguez]

they had no damn any rights to question him without his parents and then lied abt what’s was and wasn’t his phone hope fully his parents sue for a million dollars and gives a jail time to ones who did that’s to him it’s none of their damn business unless it was a rape situation that’s needs to be investigated that’s soo sad r.i.p boy corey Rest In Peace Corey never neva be forgotten may justice be served

[izzyveleaguez]

(Someone wants to go out and get killed which would be Person #1)

Person #1: (whispering) I’m going out to get hit by a vehicle.

Person #2: (after hearing the whisper and therefore holding onto Person #1 super tight) No! Don’t leave this place!

Person #1: SHUT THE (bleep) UP AND LET GO OF ME! LET GO! LET GO, PLEASE!

(Person #2 persistently shakes his/her/their head.)

Person #1: OHH, I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

Person #2: Why?

Person #1: BECAUSE YOU WON’T SET ME FREE! YOU’RE ONLY HOLDING ME PRISONER BY KEEPING ME

[gigifromgod]

If he did not have nothing on his phone, if he was clear why did he do that? Even if he had it's not reason to die but to accept that he was wrong!

[bearbear]

Just wondering why you're showing other kids the perfect spot to jump too smh.

[vachalanaidu]

Live life, we can only feel life in us. It is beautiful. Everything that seem is not what it is. Above the clouds is the sky and above the sky is the universe. Embrace life and it will embrace you❤

[rosastephens]

Maybe he should have lied and stated "Their must be some mistake!I'm 'Gay'!"...then they would have celebrated instead of persecuted him!!!. ...such is the Crazy world we live in....
