Joseph Bell, 48, had planned to walk from Oregon to New
York. His journey started in April, only a few short months after his 15
year-old son, Jadin Bell, took his own life.
Jadin was relentless bullied at school and over social media
websites over his sexuality. “He was hurting so bad,” father Joseph told ABC. “Just
the bullying at school. Yeah, there were other issues, but ultimately it was
all due to the bullying, for not being accepted for being gay.”
Joseph Bell was 20 miles northwest of the town Kit Carson, in
Colorado when he was fatally struck by a big rig. The Colorado State Patrol
said Bell was walking along the shoulder of U.S. 40 when he was hit. He was pronounced
dead at the scene.
