8Yo Girl Hanged Herself at her Grandma's

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

8Yo Girl Hanged Herself at her Grandma's

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

So sad. An 8-year-old girl decided to hang herself because she was angry that she could not play on the phone!

Cambodia News, Kampong Thom Province: On January 17, 2021, in Leap Tong Village, Trea Commune, Stong District, Kampong Thom Province, a young girl named Penh Suosdey hanged herself with a krama on a clothes rack.
The girl was about 8 years old, and was living with her grand-parents while her parents are away working in Thailand. The young girl was reportedly angry that her grandmother told her that she must stop playing on her phone.

RIP.

I wouldn't be too fast blaming the phones.

Where does an 8 year old even get the idea of hanging herself?
From Khmer music videos is where. (He doesn't love me anymore so I'm going to jump off the bridge/hang myself in my room/throw myself into the oncoming traffic). Where do little kids get these silly ideas?

Just one more manifestation of Steve Jobs’ reckless, un-thought-out, Pandora’s box gift to mankind. It may sound ridiculous to lay this girls death at his feet. But if you think about it a bit, and follow the breadcrumbs backwards, it may gradually become less absurd.

Steve Jobs as modern Mephistopheles. That’s worth an essay right there! Maybe it’s already done.
she was quite pretty and looked older
she knew only what had been told her

"Could not play on the phone" is very serious business. It is not ridiculous to lay this girl's death at his feet. I detest Steve Jobless with every fiber of my being. Follow the breadcrumbs, put Steve Jobless and all his ancestors in a Pandora's box, fill that box with quick-set concrete, and drop that motherfucker into the Marianas Trench. Now, patiently awaiting your essay. Thank you.

On a side note, very cool hats and pajamas in the OP pic. Definitely people of leisure.

Sounds dodgy. When was the last time you heard of a kid that age committing suicide? Somehow I can't recall a single case. 8)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Yeah, UT flagged that in an earlier post..How does a girl that age even have the maturity to even think of such a thing? Sounds incredulous to me.

Sounds more like abuse and probable murder.
