TV 'a Stimulant' in Boy's Death By Hanging

Police and family members said a 10-year-old boy who died by hanging himself from a bunk bed was apparently mimicking the execution of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein ... Pelico's mother told police he had previously watched a news report on Saddam's death ... Clinical psychologist Edward Bischof, of California, said children Sergio's age mimic risky behaviors they see on TV - such as wrestling or extreme sports - without realizing the dangers. He said TV appeared to be the stimulant in Sergio's case.
