thanks for the friday depression feli......

 

This is perhaps the saddest thing I have ever heard. :(

 

Crazy and sad. The part about the parents telling her about tying something around her neck is confusing. What was the context in which they told her that? Either way, that's horrible.

 

Probably "don't do that," the same as being told not to put plastic bags over your head.

 

Smells like BS. The parents' story seems too fishy...

 

I guess. It just sounded fishy. I would never think to tell my daughter, "Hey, don't take something and tie it around your neck and then hang yourself."

Not really something that comes up in the daily flow of conversation. Then again, my daughter only knows 4 words.

 

WAY too fishy.

My prediction = Mommy's in jail by the end of the weekend.

 

Lemme guess:

Dolphins rule and Jets suck?

 

it does sound off, but you just CAN'T accuse the parents of murder in something this terrible unless you realllly think you have proof of it. Either way it is a shame. You can make the argument that you don't necessarily 'feel bad' for people who commit suicide as adults (which is debatable, but don't want to get into that here), but you certainly can't argue that this girl knew and fully understood all the consequences of her actions. Don't see how you can't pity her.

 

seriously...damn

 

How does a girl that young have any idea how to do that?

 

Maybe the parents caught her previously tying,or even pretending to tie, something around her neck and they told her how dangerous it was and not to do it.

Just a thought.

 

Maybe, maybe not. Jon Benet anyone? :wink2:

 

Thats what I originally was thinking. Then I realized the amount of garbage thats on TV these days she might have picked it up that way. Its amazing what young kids comprehend this day and age.

 

That's 5 words.

But yes :shifty:

 

I blame the music of the band Livesay...

 

Or in this case, the Wiggles...

 

You may be on to something. I know that band is making ME want to effin off myself lately...

 

To some extent, THIS!
Just like you tell your kids not to cross the street without looking first. You just do it.
A very very sad story. My heart genuinely goes out to everybody involved. This is just horrible.

 

I feel bad that the kid killed herself, but I feel even worse for her poor parents. How horrible must THEY feel?

The mom sends the kid to her room, she tells her, "I'm going to kill myself", she thinks to herself, "yeah right, you're just talking ****".

Then they go up to the room and find that she hung herself.

Completely devastating. They must be thinking about the myriad of things they might have done differently had they known... That's something that a parent could never forget, or never quite forgive themselves for; even though they know they didn't do anything wrong.

 

Thats true. Can you imagine the life long guilt. Just horrible.

 

I know. That's something that you don't recover from, not fully.

 

Very good post!!!!
If this god forbid, was my daughter, they would HAVE to put me in a rubber room and watch me do the thorizine shuffle for eternity.

 

Christ on his throne...that's horrific.

 

I have a six year old little girl who has a hard time tying her shoes, I dont want to speculate becasue its ridiculously sad for one and for two I cant imagine dumb enough parents to murder thier daughter then make it look like a suicide...

All too weird. Horrible news regardless.

 

My assumption is that she was trying to spite her parents. But, just got in over her head. Maybe didn't even fully understand the repercussions of her actions.

Remember when you were a kid and you threatened to run away. You went and hid for a couple minutes thinking they wouldn't find you. Whole time you thought how sad they would be and they would never punish you again. You got bored and came out before they ever looked though.

She didn't have the opportunity to "come out."

A really sad story.

 

Agreed, a 6 year old does not have the mental makeup to hang him/herself.
They may threaten to hold their breath forever or something like that

Which is why I prefer DethMute.

 

Some of you talk about a 6 year old like you would a dog. They aren't stupid. A 6 year old is more capable of learning than a grown adult.

 

they have better capability to learn, it doesn't mean they understand everything, nor have the means and knowledge to understand everything.

 

she didnt need to understand everything. she just needed to know that hanging herself is the end of her life. i think she was old enough to know that.

EDIT: if she didnt know better, then chalk this one up to natural selection.

 

tell me how many kids under the age of ten understand death fully. Then tell me how many know/understand suicide.

 

I mean really? What harm would come from playing with belt around your neck.

The problem comes into play when you secure the other end to something. JMO but this story sounds fishy.

 

find me an adult who understands death and suicide fully.

 

I have three kids and at one point, while playing innocently, one of my girls ended up with a jump rope around her neck, while playing a game of tug-of-war.

That right there is how kids learn that you can die from things being wrapped around your neck... I agree, though, that kids that young really don't understand the full concept of dying or death. It really just doesn't register to them.

Sad story either way... :(

 

I think it's more that kids don't understand the finality or true consequences of death. Sure, they understand that they can die if they do certain things, but they don't fully understand that there is no coming back.

 

well fortunately this situation took care of itself. we dont have to worry about this problem spreading. the parents are too dumb to keep their kid from offing herself, therefore their kids wont live long enough to reproduce, meaning they are the end of their genetic tree. no more suicidal rugrats.

 

find me a kid who understands concepts as well as adults. Im also pretty sure there is a big difference between a childs knowledge on death, as opposed to an adult. Also, feel free to find me a child who can even spell suicide let alone knows what it is ....You can just stop replying and admit your original post was bs you know.......
