“Did one hit lead to a 13-year old’s suicide?”

 My article is about a thirteen-year-old boy that committed suicide after a head injury during football. James Ransom has been playing football every since he was a little kid. His parents quote “‘My son would often go head and head, repeatedly,” Greg says. “Who knows how many times they were hitting each other like that?’” but why would they allow their child to go head and head like that knowing that concussion can cause damage? As James was playing a game him and another kid hit heads hard, no one knew when it happened but Greg (James dad) didn’t know until James told him. James was a perfectionist but his parents took him to the doctor and they noticed that he had obsessive-compulsive disorder (also known as ocd), in school he would say that he was a failure and wouldn’t succeed in life. With this hit to the head he became very violent and irritable. Sometimes he would grab his father from the neck, grind his teeth, throw himself to the floor. He would also roll his eyes back uncontrollably. His sister says “Before the concussion, he had been gentle. He was affectionate and had a sweet disposition… ‘he was the kind of brother that would give you a big bear hug.’” The ransoms were terrified of their son, they were afraid of what he could and would do.
