Unbelievable. ---

I don’t know much about hypnosis, but I thought you couldn’t force someone to do something that they didn’t want to do anyway. Which admittedly leaves a lot of room. Nonetheless, this principal wasn’t a professional, and he shouldn’t have been using it on students, especially after being ordered to stop. A person in power spending time alone with a student is a no-no anyway. Perhaps not true evil, but arrogant and weird nonetheless, and the fact that he served so little time (a year of probation) and got to keep his pension doesn’t sit right with me either. > **['They all ended up dead': anger lingers over students who died after hypnosis](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/oct/12/north-port-florida-students-death-hypnosis)** > > Community of North Port, Florida, gathers to memorialise three students within weeks of each other after going to their high school principal seeking help ---

> [@Love\_Rhombus](#): > > I don’t know much about hypnosis, but I thought you couldn’t force someone to do something that they didn’t want to do anyway. Which admittedly leaves a lot of room That’s correct. Reading through the article, the claims that hypnosis was responsible for the car crashes seem completely frivolous. I think that if this had gone to trial, the district would have easily proven that: > [@](#): > > Before the settlement headed off a trial, the Sarasota school board was preparing a defence that there was no link between the hypnotism and the teenagers’ deaths. The district’s lawyers hired a licensed hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, Dr Ellyn Gamberg, as an expert witness to testify that the families’ claims were unfounded, and that on the day of his death Freeman could not have hypnotised himself using knowledge gained from his sessions with Kenney, as the lawsuit alleged. > > “I can go through some of the literature with you that says one of the hallmarks for putting yourself into self-hypnosis is to enter a very relaxed state of attention and focus, and I think that would be extremely impossible while driving a car,” she said, according to court documents obtained by the Herald-Tribune. I assume the settlement was more about avoiding bad publicity than about fear of losing at trial. ---
