SHV: Teenage girl commits suicide reportedly over phone...
SHV: Teenage girl commits suicide reportedly over phone...
A 14-year old girl committed suicide by strangling herself with a nylon cord at home in Sihanoukville, at around 9pm, most likely on 19 April 2016 (Huy Bunleng's FB post indicates 20 April, must be a mistake)
Huy Bunleng says early reports from witnesses state that she killed herself because she was disappointed either about not being able to go on a vacation with her family or about her new phone...
Link leads to photos of the girl, both alive and dead (not gruesome).
RIP to the poor girl, but killing yourself over those reasons?

RIP to her, but yeah madness that only Khmers understand I guess.
It looked from her selfie that she already owned 2 smart phones, maybe they were the wrong model???

It could have been for any number of unknown reasons. There's no particular reason to believe what was reported by the journalist or even the family. She could have suffered years of abuse or mental illness for all we know.

^^ This.
It's wholly unknown what the circumstances were.
KH 'explanations' of events are often not very closely related to the circumstances.

I think it is poor form to suggest she may have suffered years of abuse, thus casting aspersion on her parents and family members, when there is no evidence or suggestion of that.

Koh Santepheap reported about it too, but they blurred the photos.
They are also reporting that the motives are unclear, but that witnesses report that she bought a USD200 phone at a shop but she didn't like it and went back to get a refund but the seller would give it only USD50. Her mother then went to buy another phone for her but she still didn't like it.

I agree with this. Parents just lost their daughter inexplicably, but hey, they may have abused her into it, who knows.Durian Gray wrote:I think it is poor form to suggest she may have suffered years of abuse, thus casting aspersion on her parents and family members, when there is no evidence or suggestion of that.
Indeed, and it could have been for this exact reason too, who's to know?Stagger Lee wrote:@ DG

Isn't Huy Bunleng quite connected? (maybe sans earth)LTO wrote:Is it ethical to publish the photos of a dead child victim of suicide like that? (Not K440, but Huy Bunleng)
He complained about a shirtless barang ' causing a surprise' (I should sit down and take a deep breath), next thing goons arrive and re-educate the terrible eyesore, whilst ignoring heaps of excrement and garbage littering the beach.
ירי ילדים והפצצת אזרחים דורש אומץ, כמו גם הטרדה מינית של עובדי ההוראה.

Of course we don't know. However, I would assume that there was more going on, for some time, than what was reported. Most teenagers have arguments with their parents about seemingly trivial issues. Underlying these petty arguments are often much larger problems. Just guessing, but it could be connected with confusion around puberty, depression, family favoritism, bullying or almost anything else. I doubt very much that all was well and good until a problem about a phone suddenly caused this happy kid to commit suicide. Maybe I'm wrong and she just impulsively decided to kill herself because her phone wasn't up to standard, sometimes adolescents do crazy shit like that.Joon wrote:Indeed, and it could have been for this exact reason too, who's to know?Stagger Lee wrote:@ DG

I wouldn't rule out foul play either, that picture doesn't look like someone who was strangled.

I was going to mention that, but it seemed a bit corny. Approval of peers is a big deal to kids that age though.vladimir wrote:Peer pressure
Anyway, please excuse me for not accepting everything at face value. I had just read about some nasty bastard in the UK who killed his 6 year old daughter, then his wife came home to help him cover it up and spin a story. This probably colored my reaction, but as it is my point still stands.

I won't link to the mother's FB here but it was traceable from a comment on Huy Bunleng's post.
The family looks to live comfortably. She seemed to have been the eldest among 3 siblings and photos show a happy family. The mom posted the photos of her departed daughter, accessible to the public.
It's heartbreaking.
