Saddam's execution cited in boy's accidental hanging death
(1/04/07 - HOUSTON) - Police and family members said a 10-year-old boy who died by hanging himself from a bunk bed was apparently mimicking the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

Sergio Pelico was found dead Sunday in his apartment bedroom in the Houston-area city of Webster, said Webster police Lt. Tom Claunch. Pelico's mother told police he had previously watched a news report on Saddam's death.

Thanks, Pandora! But I still feel it means nothing. I'll bet these children didn't pretend to hang themselves. They were despondent and the parents either didn't see the signs, or shrugged them off as a phase.

I went to the first story. Sad. But what is the point. Kids were imitating Superman when I was a kid. They jumped off the roof and were either injured or killed. Do you remember Evel Knevel? Does that mean that we should ban news and entertainment because children might imitate something. Just say "NO"!!!
