10 year old hangs self mimicking Saddam Hussein's execution.

Well, I can't say I'm sad. I might have been if he was like- five. Ten year olds should know what happens if you hang yourself.

The day before, he had watched the news of Saddam's execution on TV with an uncle and asked why he was killed.

So, he knew he was going to die if he did it, yet he still did? :\

"Why show that on TV?"

Why let a 10 year old watch a hanging? How about not blaming the Tv, and make him take responsiblity for his stupidity?

I agree with you there. They can't blame it on the TV for showing it because they should have known not to let him watch it. I mean, who would actually let their 10-year-old watch the hanging anyway? O_o
 
In this case I'd say the kid's guardians are more responsible for this incident than the kid himself. Can't say the media didn't do anything wrong however. The filming of the execution was immoral and unnecessary if you ask me. Broadcasting something so controversial will only result in even more controversy. It's a no-brainer.
 
He isn't the only one. There's a 9 year old girl that told her parents she wanted to feel Saddam's pain, and hanged herself. Then another group of kids imitated Saddam and played hang, sadly hanged one of their friends. There are a lot more, and I can't remember them now. Yes, its true and very sad.
 
its a little mean to say that, he might have been mentally disabled.

MIGHT have been. It doesn't say that he was, so I'm assuming that he's not.
 
How stupid is that boy...

At least, if he is going to try...Try less seriously !!

Yeah, I know I shouldn't laugh...But...Kids, don't try this at home!
 
Alot of crazy things happen in this world...but somehow they always keep suprising me. Kids, DON'T but absolutely DON'T do such things!
 
thats what you get for showing saddams execution on tv

Yeah, all those shootings and stabbings are perfectly fine for children; showing a bad video of a hanging, that's just over the line.
 
How can kids be so stupid by doing that? they should of not shown the hanging of saddam on TV.....how can the media be so stupid... >_<;
 
I believe that the media can show what they want, but it is up to parents to decide what their children watch.
 
DragonMaster, that's highly inappropriate, he was just a small kid.

You see, this is what happens when the media try to get publicity from showing a man hung to death, and the fact the internet and television is so easily accessible to children, it comes to no surprise to me. Though I do feel sorry for his family.
 
I know he was just a small kid, but if he had lived, he would have grown up into a moronic adult. Most kids do. That's why there are so many moronic adults.

Mainly down to parents, family life, school life and the media, at least two of those contributed to the boy's death. It's a small web.
 
Even if I agreed that it's all everyone else's fault, he still would have grown up into a moronic adult. Logic is so logical.
 
Wow, that is terrible. Kids scare the hell out to me. They try to do the stupidest things. You have to constantly watch them.
