godG: True but would you rather raise a kid here or there? I don't see how softness of the heart is a detriment. If anything it makes us more empathic to things around us. 2 Likes |

priscaoge:Mental health is complex. Don't blame the victim. As you read, she has tried suicide before. So what happened in this case is just a tip of the iceberg, there's a huge emotional vacuum in her life and the exam experience was just the last straw. I've heard of more than a couple of suicides in New York City alone inye last few months. Young teenagers especially have peculiar problems that the State department of health is seriously trying to figure out. Don't look down on these people. Africa has a strong family values and in Africa family includes uncles, cousins, in-laws, even some friends. This system kinda helps with emotional support in a way we may never understand until you come to a country where once you start developing pubic hairs you're almost on your own. It's rough here o for these kids. 3 Likes |

Sagamite:But Liberals here would never allow such reform. They've successfully framed promoters of "tort reform" as being pro-big corporations and anti-regular joes. Also, the trial lawyers donate heavily to Democrats and some moderate Republican lawmakers. That means tort reform ain't coming any time soon |

carefreewannabe:No one said the girl should be made to stay in a room. But there are ways people can be monitored or watched for safety reasons. Even mental health patient in hospitals are allowed to leave their rooms or roam about the Unit as long as they can be prevented from harming themselves or others. Some are even allowed to go home on weekends with families or attend school within hospital premises yet being watched by peace officers. Sometimes it's part of the therapy recommended by physicians. Now, just to watch and protect that girl to make sure she is safe for a few hours is not too much too ask for. She even wrote her suicidal thought in her exam paper which was seen by the invigilator should have atleast given the school a chance to get themselves together. |

The mother should have sent that girl down to Nigeria when she noticed that her girl was having problems, owu in Nigeria is a correctional facility. At least owu would have wiped out that nonsense thinking and her brain formated and re-programmed for good. That said, the woman failed in her duty as a mother to give this girl real African training. RIP girl |

priscaoge: Just because ur school & country does dat doesnt mean its ryt...the girl was said to have attempted suicide b4 dat shows dat she should have been taken proper care of in a sane society...its only in a country like nigeria d@ you will add insult upon injury on the girl. This girl was probably on therapy & needed to be handled with care & d school authority are well aware of that fact...somethinb tells me if the girl was white it wojld have been handled differently....we praise anomaly in this country the reason youre saying what you said. In my opinion the mother has a good case.... 4 Likes |

carefreewannabe:There are peace officers, security officers, e.t.c in high school employed for safety reasons. It's not the work of teachers. Just as it's not the work of Registered psychiatric nurses or mental heath nurses to sit down and watch suicidal patient all day from using IV tubes to kill themselves. |

[quote author=kings11ng post=28027383]Mounsurat Adeoye, the Mother of teen Omotayo (pictured) who committed suicide after allegedly cheating on a high school exam, is reportedly placing the blame of her daughter’s death on the high school she attended and has filed a $10 million lawsuit against the city of New York. NewsOne reports: "When Omotayo got busted peeking at her cellphone while taking a German test, the teacher allegedly snatched it away, accusing her of cheating and yelling at her. Omotayo reportedly burst into tears while apologizing profusely to the instructor. A few hours after the emotional exchange between the teacher and Omotayo, according to police investigators, the young girl scrawled the following words on her German language exam that read, “I just want to go away forever on the bottom of the river.” "After Omotayo handed in her test paper and asked to go to the restroom, she never returned to the classroom. "Instead, the teen walked to Manhattan’s Hudson River’s edge in Harlem, placed her identification on a rock, then plunged in to the murky waters." According to Mounsurat, the school knew that Omotayo had emotional problems -- since she had attempted suicide before -- but they did not take proper care of her. Do you think the Mother has a lawsuit?

saxywale:Had it been the city had not cleared the teacher of wrongdoing, the girl's parents may have sued the school using the "in loco parentis" doctrine. The doctrine simply implies that individuals such as teachers, babysitters and family members could be held liable for the injury suffered by a minor entrusted in their care. 1 Like |

It's a pity she's gone. People who commit suicide usually have prior attempt(s). First the parents did not make the girl understand she's got to be responsible for her action or she's got emotional "issues". Moreover, the school didn't handle her case well. Coming back to Naija, invigilator could tear your paper if you attempt to borrow a pencil. Life no fit end nah! |
