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

Tragic, but a little thoughtless (oh the understatement)
 
That's so bad, the poor little boy hardly did anything, and just took his life away without accomplishing and experiencing much. Who would want to copy Saddam anyway, and hang yourself. Sad world... :(

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.

Don't decide a kid future.

Mostly you just called yourself one right now anyways.
 
Well, the people do have a right to air saddam's death. I'm not saying it is right but that was really big news. If parents didn't want their kids to watch it then maybe they could of stopped them. I don't know, copying a mass-murderer like Saddam is a pretty stupid thing to do.

Warning: Copying Saddam may result in Death.
 
First, its the parrents fault for making it possible for the kid to access a video like that, second the kid had a choice, he may not have understood life and death, but he had a choice.
 
That is terrible!!! I have a 10 year old brother and it's hard to imagine him ever thinking of this o.o *Squee! (with fear)
 
I was really disturbed when I heard about it on the news...

A ten year old kid may not know the impact of what he was doing at the time but it seems unlikely. It also depends on the parents to let him know about these things. They shouldn't have let him watch it in the first place. I think the real blame was the media though. It just goes to show that airing things like this can be harmful.

How exactly was it accidental? The kid was mimicking a hanging and hung himself. Sounds like it was pretty deliberate to me.

There's a reason why they use the word 'hanged' rather than 'hung' when referring to death by hanging...I'm not going to say why on a forum with kids on it though >_>; Just yeah...Careful lol *grammar freak*


Anyway, this is very sad...But why in the world did this kid even try to mimic that?! An execution, obviously, is not really something you want to re-enact...Although kids' Ids (Not IDs, ids. It's instinct and impulses, and it's where the word 'idiot comes from') have more control than their egos (the ability to think things through, not cockiness). Same goes for teenagers, because their (our, I am 15 xD) prefrontal cortexes are not fully developed and so they go with their impulses and have suicidal behaviors.

...*also a psychology nut* :B

I can't believe there are even people suggesting it shouldn't have been shown! ofcourse it should have. you can't censor things. Just because the kid was ten, his parents should have taught him more or something to that effect. It's really not medias fault.
 
I don't think this was accidental, he probably wanted to comit suicide for some odd reason. If he seen the video of Suddam's hanging then he should know that, would lead to death.

:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~
 
Has our world really degraded so much that a 10 year old boy would mimic the hanging of Saddam because it was on TV? I would of thought the media woundn't show that sort of thing in "normal hours" or that thier parents were more responsable. I cannot really symphinize with the parents either, but I might be being harsh saying that
 
Reminds me when someone at my school hung himself from the door using his tie.

This was last year though, before Saddam was hung plus he was old enough to know better.

He lived in case you're curious.

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.

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

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

As much as I hate to avoid something bad like this with a post like this, But I have to agree COMPLETELY.

When I was 10 I knew That rope + jump = DEATH. Besides, When do you leave a 10 year old home alone? When I was 10 I still went to day care >_> And since when do you let a 10 year old watch Saddam Hussien be executed? I know he couldve turned it on to watch a cartoon, but why would he watch that?
 
If he were much older, he could qualify for a Darwin Award.

In all seriousness, though, I guess it's kind of sad. But this is what happens when your kid doesn't have an established knowledge of the difference between fantasy and reality...without that, they'll do just about anything with no regard for their own safety.
 
*Shigh* another compleatly pointless death... It's bad enough that Saddam killed so meany when he was liviing but he's claimed another life in his own death... I blame this on the childs parents for not attending the child. I also blame this on the child for being stupid enough to hang himself. But, he could have had Autism, a very common mental dissablility, ranging from complete non functioning vegetable to a kid who dosen't have social skills. 1 in 155 kids have this. So does my little brother. Some of the lower functioning kids don't understand death, mabye like this kid. My brother thought the hospital could fix him if he jumped out a 2 story window, we had to explane to him that the hospital couldn't fix it. That he'd seice to exist. He understands now, others may not be so lucky....
 
There are millions of people dying every day, there's no point mourning over this one. He died, it's sad, it's over. Now we move on. No point wasting your life (or even part of your life) crying about a kid you didn't know.

*Prepares for thousands of bleeding-heart symathizers to start telling how I'm a horrible person*
 
I don't believe that was an accidental. I wounder what the kid was thinking when he did it.
