Scolded by mom for damaging mobile, teenage girl ends life


Kolkata, Jan 22 (IANS): A teenage girl here hanged herself after she was scolded by her parents for damaging her mother's mobile phone, police said on Tuesday. She died on way to hospital.

The 16-year-old girl, who was scheduled to appear for her secondary examination next month, died on way to hospital on Monday night.

The incident was reported from south Kolkata's Regent Park area.

 

According to police and local people, the girl had taken her mother's mobile phone with her when she went out on Monday afternoon. But while returning home, she accidentally dropped the phone on to the street and it got damaged.

"She called her father from another mobile, but he rebuked her for damaging the phone. When she returned home, again her mother scolded her for spending time with the mobile phone instead of concentrating on her studies. After some time, she was found hanging inside a room," a neighbour said.

The girl was rushed to the hospital, but died.

    Maybe parents should start being responsible parents and stop spoiling their children with everything they ask for and instead start discipling them so they can grow up to be competent human beings. The youth of today is absolutely pathetic

    In the present days, the kids. & teen-age children are pampered too much their parents Right from the beginning the parents have to be well organized, must train the children at young age, and should be bit strict too. Too much of freedom and flexibility towards children spoil them to some extent. I am even surprised how she reached the ceiling to tie the sari or a bed sheet to the fan hook/rod. ?

    If she can take such a big step for such a small scolding, more over as she was not concentrating on studies, it is but obvious that anyone deserves scolding, just imagine the plight of her parents how they are they were handling such a child.
