A girl of 11 hanged herself after her mother banned her from watching Big Brother, an inquest heard yesterday.

 

 

 

Yasmin Browder was found suspended from a bathroom door hook by her dressing gown belt tied around her neck.

 

 

 

Her mother, Jill Morey, a 38-year-old care worker, tried to save her but she was pronounced dead at hospital.

 

 

 

The inquest was told that Yasmin had been helping her mother decorate their home in Shoreham, West Sussex, in June when an argument broke out. As they began to pack up for the day, Yasmin protested about her mother leaving the decorating equipment in her bedroom.

 

 

 

Miss Morey said: 'Everything was fine until the time when I said to her I was leaving the bucket, wallpaper and stripper in her room until the morning.

 

 

 

'She went totally out of character and started launching things out of her room. I said, "Why are you doing this?". She said, "I don't want it in my room".'

 

 

 

Miss Morey said she went downstairs, leaving Yasmin 'stropping around' before she returned to her mother and said she intended to watch Big Brother.

 

 

 

'I told her she was not going to because she had misbehaved and that she was going to bed,' said Miss Morey.

 

 

 

Ooook... So, for those too stupid/lazy to read the article;

 

She and her mother were decorating. Her mother left the wallpapering equipment in her room, which she didn't want and had a paddy about it. She wanted to go watch Big Brother and was told she couldn't, so she went to "have a shower". Instead, she hung herself via her bath robe off a hook.

 

 

 

Shocking to say the least.

 

Anyone else have some thoughts on the matter?

 

 

 

(I apologise if this has already been posted, I did not see a topic relating to this. :uhh: )

I'm gobsmacked. :-k

I don't blame her. That's one dang good show.

Hardly. OOH LETS RECORD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE IN A HOUSE. TV Gold.

No way would someone hang themselves because they couldnt watch BB.

 

 

 

Thats plain stupid, and as it says the mother said 'it was out of her charcater,' so either something was bothering her, or she wasted her life for a tv program :-s

 

 

 

Things such a bullying would cause problems like this, i don't believe she did it because she got banned from watching tv, but then i don't really know the people so its hard to judge...

I just love that show is all. :P

 

 

 

Hell, what's it different then survivor?

 

 

 

Let's tape some people in the wilderness.

Wow, I came here ready to type 'Only in America'

 

 

 

Only in the United Kingdom this time I guess.

I just love that show is all. :P

Im against all reality TV shows. Its cheap. That's why they make it.

 

But is BB really getting this addictive that people kill themselves just because they cant watch it?

That's true, I guess. (Reality show = cheap.)

 

 

 

But BB is pretty addictive imo. I love dr. will.

I'll agree its addictive, espically as its the last week, but it's very unlikly its that addictive that someone kills themselfs...

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not believing it =;

Not true. I don't think Amazing Race is cheap to produce :|

That ones pretty good.

 

 

 

Gosh, I love BB so much. Chilltown getting everyone against each other, just watch Boogie and Will get to the final two and split the money.

That can't be the sole reason - it was probably just the final straw.

Oddly, I would hang myself if I HAD to watch Big Brother.

Too far.

 

 

 

Anywayz the only reason there are reality programs is coz ppl can't pay writers. In the words of Homer Simpson "Stupid writers priced yourself right out of the business"

 

 

 

Can sum1 change my spelling of business if it is wrong

Read that story in the paper this morning. There must have been some other reason.

ahaha, thats one good reason not to let your kids watch big brother from the beginning! they wont kill themselves if theyre not allowed to watch it as a punishment.

 

 

 

anyway, i dont believe that that was the only reason. life is though when youre 11 years old

That can't be the sole reason - it was probably just the final straw.

 

 

 

Exactly. The media loves to sensationalise.

lol, same here.

I came to this thread with the intention of posting exactly those words. Freaky. Anyway, I think that it was either other issues affecting her as well, or a sick way of getting back at her parents gone horribly wrong. She might have planned to shock her parents into removing the ban and killed herself by accident.

For people who say it might been because of bullying, read this from the artical.

 

 

 

Detective Constable Tim Hughes, of Sussex Police, said there was no history of bullying at school or any indication of self-harm in either her diary or text messages. West Sussex coroner Roger Stone said: 'This is one of the saddest cases I have had to deal with.'

But the facts are there... :?

 

 

 

It was in a tabloid paper so the 'facts' must be taken with a pinch of salt.

That can't be the sole reason - it was probably just the final straw.

 

 

 

Exactly. The media loves to sensationalise.

it's sad that she hung herself over some items in her room and and a T.V. show thats fake. this all could have been avoided if she had just accepted the fact that some items we're going to the corner of her room. but i feel for her parents

Yeah, there must have been other reasons behind it not just the banning of the show, i don't believe that anyone would kill themselves because they could not watch a bunch of lunatics sitting on their bums all day.
