16 y/o Channing Smith from Tennessee fatally shot himself in the head after a GIRL whom he was friends with OUTED him online as GAY and now his family wants justice against those responsible for his death!!

The girl shared the messages he had with another boy that were sexually explicit on Snapchat and Instagram....

38 y/o Joshua, Channing's older brother believes there was a disagreement with a girl hours before he died and she retaliated by sharing messages online he had with another boy and outed him as gay.

Josh said he believed Channing saw messages online and took his own life and said the DA of the state said they would NOT pursue charges against the girl

Now the family fear they may not get justice and are speaking out on the dangers of cyber bullying

Joshua, who now lives in Kentucky told Dailymail "On behalf of our family,we will all agree that our first step is to find forgiveness in our hearts to the guys and girls who did this.We want to see some action taken to show other kids that there are repercussions for their actions. We don't think kids should be brought up on murder charges but there is harassment and manslaughter, there are different levels that could happen"

Channing was a Junior at Coffee Country Central High School and only confided into a few people he was gay or bisexual but NOT to his family

Joshua said the sexually explicit messages were shared by the female friend after they had a "fight" and said "I'm twice Channing's age and i couldn't imagine if the whole world in an instant knew, i would want to tell on my terms". They would have accepted Channing no matter what and are distraught that they had to find out this way

Channing had no history of depression or mental health issues that would have caused him to take his own life

He was about to celebrate his 17th birthday in November as his father bought him his first motorcycle and was described as the sweetest kid ever.

Joshua recalled how his dad called him to say he found Channing in his room dead after shooting himself and said he fell to pieces and drove straight down there as he began to investigate what lead to the death and found out it was because of this

DA Craig Northcott was criticized earlier this year for saying he DIDN'T recognize gay marriage and WOULDN'T prosecute same sex domestic violence and told Joshua it would take at least 30 days to decide if they would press charges before deciding not to

Channing was planning to become an engineer who loved the keyboard and guitar

Do you think what his heifer friend did should be a crime?

Is this really that though? He made a message on snapchat that this girl found. Got into a argument with her so she shared said message. Hardly bullying. I do think what she did was vengeful though. Still I also think folk should share less personal information online. If it's that personal to you perhaps pirate message people and not put it where anyone can see.

Sharing someones secret? Nope. It's unfortunate he took his own life but still.

I'd assume he thought his sexuality was very important and when his secret came out his life would be over. However with that said he was talking to at least one guy on snapchat so maybe not.

No, it is objectively trivial. Also, suicide is not anybody right in the head does, if he thought it was literally life-ending, his head was objectively in the wrong place.

And? That doesn't matter. To him, it's not a trivial secret. And depending on the people around, it could be worse. For him, hid family seemed ok with it. But other people have been disowned from their families finding out. It's not like he knows how his family is going to react. So again, just because it's not trivial to you doesn't mean it's not trivial for him...

It was deadly serious to him because he was unwell.

He'd have known if he didn't rush to kill himself before anything actually bad happened. He killed himself over an assumption that maybe people around him might hate him. The worst case scenario isn't even worth considering suicide, it was an insane decision.

Even if he wasn't unwell, it was probably still serious to him. Mine was definitely serious to me in high school.

Because he was scared. It may seem insane to you. But you can't say thee worst case scenario isn't even worth considering suicide, as the worst case scenario could be really bad. I know you want to seem edgy and act like nobody matters but you, but you should try being a decent human being sometime...

I'm going to assume it was a public snapchat thing. No idea how she could have seen it otherwise unless she's on his friends list. Although then it wouldn't be a secret so fuck knows.

I find it fascinating how folk like Kyuubi4269 act like backseat psychiatrists. What's even more baffling is he's never been outed as being homosexual to my knowledge nor does he have any clue about this kids life yet he has all the answers of does and don'ts and of course knows this kids every thought.

I'm voting "No" on the basis that one person shouldn't be held legally responsible for the actions of another person. However there is a part which needs further investigation.

If the messages were between two boys how did the girl in question have access to them?

This doesn't really sound like bullying.

Just a thoughtless action executed in the heat of emotional distress.

And if they were genuine friends, I'm sure she feels awful about it.

This doesnt sound like bullying to me. When I hear bullying, I think of people doing mean/cruel acts towards another person for nothing other than their own enjoyment. This sounds like revenge - in the moment, the girl probably thought she was in the right for doing it. So not bullying... but a case of a friend being a complete asshole.

As for should her actions be labeled as criminal? I honestly dont know. I can absolutely see the case for holding her accountable, but at the same time, is revealing someones secret something that should be considered a crime? Thats a tough one. I honestly dont know which way to lean on it.

Shitty situation, overall.

It's not bullying. It was a petty mindless act in anger that teenagers are sometimes prone to. Except this is one that had disastrous consequences. She will live with this for the rest of her life.

Also that guy posting bout "trivial" is utterly clueless. I know of cases in my region (Caribbean) where this happened. I wouldn't do it if it was me outed but not everybody is strong minded. And the worst case scenario? Being murdered. By your own family sometimes. Even in so called tolerant countries it can happen. Wake the fuck up. His family could say anything now after the fact but he had an extreme reaction for a reason and I doubt it's because he was unhinged.

I was just watching an interview on CNN with his brother. and he said that students were going to do a rally for him and had signs that said "justice for Channing" and the school took all the signs that said that. and never gave an explanation. they even gave back signs if the students would cut off the part that said "justice for channning"
