the power of media is immensely great... the simple showing of the detailed execution act of the late president of iraq has subconsciously affected the boy by mimicking what he saw on the tv. the boy watched the video with a guardian and it was also explained to him what the video was... how can an adult prevent such accident???

Wow. That's so alarming. Don't let your children watch television without your guidance.

I heard about this it was soo sad. I didnt know the effect that this had on the nation. and its strange to hear about little kids mocking a hanging. But this wasnt the only little boy who done this its many other stories of little kids copying the saddam execution. Take care.

Our subconcious mind gets automatically hypnotised when we say something bad or we think something negative or positive. The same must have happened, because an hypnotised subconscious mind accepts anything and it will place it into action. So such things are not to shown to young minds.
