Karkala: Boy tries to mimic suicide for selfie - faces grave danger


Daijiworld Media Network - Karkala (SP)

Karkala, Apr 21: A boy who tried to act like hanging himself and take a selfie of the scene, faced imminent danger to his life. With the timely help of his friend however, he was saved. He is recovering in a hospital.

The boy who made this attempt is from Konkanarabettu in Kabbinale village near Hebri. His friend was present when the boy made a noose from the rope, stood on stool, inserted his neck into the noose, and acted like hanging. Before he could click the selfie, the stool slipped from under his feet, and the noose got tightened around his neck. His friend immediately alerted the family members of the boy. He was then brought down and rushed to a private hospital at Hebri.

After initial care, the boy was shifted to a hospital at Manipal. It is gathered that he is recovering there. Damodar Nayak, a local entrepreneur, helped the family to rush the boy to the hospital without delay.

    Time to ban social media for boys and girls below 18 years of age.
    Social media and selfie is a poison.
    Govt. of India should make it compulsory by law that underage kids should not be able to make an account on social media,some of them like Facebook ask for ID proof anyways.
    Young minds are easily manipulated on social media and most of the times,parents are unable to keep track on their activities as kids are smart and know to hide the things they do on their phones.
    There are even some apps that help with these,those should also be banned.
    In USA a few days ago one 13 year old boy shot himself dead live accidentally on Instagram.
