Not content with tormenting a Buffalo area teen into suicide, a pack of high school bullies heartlessly taunted the boy’s sister and pals the night of his wake.
Alyssa Rodemeyer, 16, whose brother Jamey, 14, was found dead of a suicide Sept. 18, was cruelly hectored at her homecoming dance by the twisted teens who had mercilessly bullied her brother for being gay, their mother, Tracy Rodemeyer, told NBC’s “Today” Show Tuesday.
Rodemeyer said she had hoped the dance, held on the night of Jamey’s wake, would help take Alyssa’s mind off her brother’s tragic fate.
But the night turned nasty during a song by Lady Gaga, Jamey’s favorite singer.
“She was having a great time, and all of a sudden a Lady Gaga song came on, and they all started chanting for Jamey, all of his friends,” Tracy Rodemeyer told NBC.
“Then the bullies that put him into this situation started chanting, ‘You’re better off dead!’ and ‘We’re glad you’re dead!’ and things like that,” the furious mother said.
Alyssa came home in tears, her mom said.
