Thirteen year old Georgia boy accidentally shoots and kills himself on Instagram live

  • It remains unclear how he got his hands on a gun, although his mother said it had been passed around through friends 
  • Forty to 50 kids in the area rushed to Malachi's house to check if their friend was okay after watching the horrific scene unfold on social media 
A 13-year-old accidentally shot and killed himself on Instagram Live after the gun he was posing with went off.
Malachi Hemphill of Forest Park, Georgia, had taken the trash out on Monday night and returned to his room when his mother heard a loud 'boom'.
Shaniqua Stephens and her daughter kicked in the teen's door and found him laying in a pool of blood, WXIA reported.
Stephens said she knew something was wrong when she heard the noise, and immediately rushed upstairs with her daughter.
'We kicked in the door. We found him just laying there in a pool of blood,' Stephens said.
Her daughter noticed Malachi's phone was still on, and Stephens found it was still streaming through Instagram Live. 
The teen was rushed to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, where he died.
Stephens told WXIA: 'This is just a pain that will never go away. He was my only son. He was just only 13. Just the thought of me seeing him on the floor will never leave my brain,' she said.






























About 40 to 50 kids who lived nearby ran to Malachi's house to check on their friend after watching the horrific scene unfold on social media.
According to Stephens, someone told her son to put a clip in the gun when it went off.
It remains unclear how the 13-year-old got hold of the gun, although Stephens said it had been passed around through friends.
The heartbroken mother said she and her husband kept tabs on who their son spent time with and tried to keep track of Malachi's social media activity, even though he created numerous accounts.
Stephens is now urging other parents to watch over their kids, saying: 'Monitor their phones, just monitor your children.'

And in another case, the report describes a student’s rape on a school trip to Costa Rica. None of the teachers’ actions were reported to the police. In some cases, teachers were allowed to resign after being confronted with evidence of misconduct, and administrators wrote letters of recommendations for teachers who were fired. Choate, in Wallingford, Conn., is a blue-blooded school whose alumni include President John F. Kennedy and his brother Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. It is the latest in a string of prestigious private academies that have faced accusations of sexual abuse by faculty members, including  St. George’s School , in Rhode Island, and  Horace Mann  and  Poly Prep  in New York City. “They are closed systems, especially residential private schools where kids are separated from their parents,” said Paul M...
