Hypnosis and Suicide

(North Port, Florida) Curiously, North Port High School principal, Dr. George Kenney, hypnotized 16-year-old Wesley McKinley on April 7 and, on April 8, the boy committed suicide.

In a written statement, Sarasota School superintendent Lori White says Kenney's techniques "are outside the scope of normally accepted student counseling practices and is cause for serious concern."

Some students say Principal Kenney has been hypnotizing students for a couple of years, either in a classroom group setting or individually one-on-one. But school district officials say, while they were aware of Kenney's technique, his permission had limited use."

I suggest it's virtually impossible to contend that the hypnosis and the suicide are not related. On one day, the principal intervenes in the psychological makeup of the boy through hypnosis and, the very next day, the psychological makeup of the boy prompts him to commit suicide.
