What the hell? Why bring up the fact that the kid was "unusually comfortable talking to adults" or that he was "given to using harsh language around other children." What does that mean? That he killed himself? That the other kids did it?
Could you tell me again how dad hadn't had a job since 2000?
And nice statistics about the death count on that train. MOST of them suicides.

Add another tick to the Lost It column. The article in yesterdays Star Ledger was better. Since when has the Times switched to a tabloid format?
This is a tragic story. Whatever personality flaws the kid had are nullified by the horrific circumstances of his death. Clearly the family and it's dynamics will be under the microscope as everyone probes for the answer to the ultimate question, "Why?". But is there a need to report every observation from unknown neighbors? Who are these neighbors, maybe they are so awful that the kid was justified in using the bad language.

The reference to the photo in the hall is just creepy. Peering through windows of the house? Jerks!
