Doncaster, South Yorkshire (United Kingdom)
Suicide

Cameron died by suicide after telling their mum that they wanted to be a girl.
A BOY of 10 has been found hanged at his South Yorkshire home after telling his mum he wanted to be a girl. Tragic Cameron McWilliams had already asked for permission to wear make-up, and been teased after he was found wearing his half-sister's knickers. His desperate mum Kelly McWilliams told a Doncaster inquest she had bought him girls' underwear to wear in private, but had refused his requests to be allowed to wear make-up. She said: "It was apparent he was unhappy and said he wanted to be a girl. He did like girls' things." Mrs McWilliams told a Doncaster inquest Cameron was older than his years and had expressed an interest in transvestism. He had been teased after once being found in his half-sister's knickers, and had asked if he could wear make-up. His mum told him he would have to wait until he was older.
Although Cameron had not been a happy child, she did not think he was depressed.
"He said he wanted to be a girl, and he did like girls’ things. He used to tell us that he wanted to be a scientist. He was a very loving and very caring boy. We can’t think of a reason he would have wanted to do this".
