Fla. Students die after hypnosis

[JefeStone]

Florida police are investigating a high school principal who hypnotized three students who later died. They say Doctor George Kenney admitted to hypnotizing a 16-year-old boy who committed suicide one day after a private session. Kenney hypnotized two other students who died tragically, one took her own life and another died in a car crash.The doctor didn't immediately admit to having private sessions with the students.But many people at school and in the community knew what he was doing.

My gosh. That sounds like a B movie.

There is no fundamental logic in any of this. The school board and the parents should all be held accountable. This man had no business doing this to students. Why? To feel up their ass cracks?

Supposedly it was to give them more "focus". I wonder if there are more people who were hypnotized that didn't die. And were these people who died possibly still under hypnosis and weren't really with it? Almost like sleepwalking? This is just too damn weird.

I don't think the hypnosis had anything to do with this. I see it as people stunned after three kids die and are looking for answers.

Crazy.

Only in Florida.

Only in Florida.

The problem with this state is the fact that the amount of transplants here from OTHER states is staggering.

The huge amount of crappy people with problems actually originates elsewhere.

Were the parents present while the hynopsis was going on?

If not, then sorry, it wasn't the right thing for him to be doing, even though apparently he was trained to conduct these sessions. I would not tolerate such a scenario for my still-minor child--- a written permission, dashed off in a hurry, is not the same as monitoring the session personally to make sure nothing untoward is even accidentally introduced, or makes an existing problem worse.

Doctor or not (okay, he had a Ph.D. obviously, but in what?), Kenney was still just a principal of the school, and may not have had access to information about deeper problems these kids may have had, or even their Facebook accounts! The hypnosis may have inadvertantly exposed other issues besides that for which the hynotism was deemed necessary, or minimized problems that needed more attention and treatment.
