Very sad story, but I don't see what there is to discuss really? It may be sad but there's little doubt that it was the kids' own fault...

If there were more violence in there media...those kids wouldn't have to be curious...

Sad that so many children could imitate this... I don't think I've ever heard of kids anywhere else killing themselves in imitation of an execution, though....

I wonder how mentally stable they were to begin with?

Idiot.

I'm just amazed, like many others, on how these kids would immitate an execution?

And this is a nation with nuclear weapons????

Survival of the fittest. This is natural selection at work.

Gotta agree on that one. Darwin awards anyone?

Lol, nations should start FORCING violence in the media to prevent this kind of thing . . .

sad? thank your god that these idiots' genes are removed from the pool.


the part that saddens me the least.. THEY ARE IMITATING AN EXECUTION FOR PETE'S SAKE

Two succeeded in killing themselves -- others were strangled, but did not die.
*shakes head*

Do you think perhaps they should have been supervised more closely?

And these are the people that take our jobs.

Would it be tasteless if I started a Two Children Die Imitating Tommy Cooper thread?

That's sad, both crying sad and pathetic sad.

I've no sympathy. The kid shoulda known better..hell,he was 14.

Aye me bucko, i agree whole heartedly...its incidents like this that are the chlorine in the human gene pool, if they do this to themselves, they are unfit to reproduce and lower the world's average IQ with their children.

That's not sad, it's just extremely retarded.

I think this is proof, even to the most anti-American person out there, that Americans aren't the dumbest on the planet.

Oh, come on: India may very well have a greater total number of idiots than the USA, but then it does have almost 3.5 times the population, so you have to allow for a couple of more extreme scattered points on the graph bucking the trend of the main concentration...

the saddest part of this is, there is no sad part. no one is sad. everyone is just amazed at their stupidity.

man, what idiots.

Good job...

Perhaps they should've castrated him instead. Then, the kids would be alive AND out of the genepool.

... the children are our future.

Well, not those children, obviously - just those that weren't so stupid as to hang themselves.

Damn. You said it before I did.It was only a matter of time before they tried something equally stupid.

If there were more violence in there media...those kids wouldn't have to be curious...

It's not the media's fault. The kids were stupid. I have no sympathy for them, only empathy for those they left behind.

Stupid children.

I blame it on rope. If rope had never been invented, there would be no way they could hang themselves.

Good old Darwin awards.

Have people forgotten that American children have seriously wounded themselves and even died or killed others imitating stuff like Jackass and WWE wrestlers? I think it's awfully shortsighted to act like this is an issue limited to only some countries.

Anyway, for children to die this way is an absolute waste of life, and genuinely quite sad. Says something about society that children would think this is a way to "play".
