Schoolgirl found hanging from tree after suffering from 'rare allergic reaction to WiFi'

She was never officially diagnosed, never even saw a doctor. Sounds like something else was going on, maybe she was being bullied or did something stupid which she thought was gonna come out.

Still tragic though.

 

If she ever actually said that she was allergic to WiFi, I  would guarantee that she was bullied.

[Dr_Pleeper]

I'm seriously doubting that it was WIFi, usually those signals are in no way powerful enough to cause physical harm. If they said it was cell service, i would probably believe that.

Who hung her from the tree? Wi-Fi? It really wasn't clear to me from the article.

 

She should have seen a doctor.

That's what I thought the title sounded like:

See! She was allergic to wifi! It even lynched her!

The fact is, while the symptoms of EMH are real, there is no scientific or medical proof, and is most likely a mental illness, something psychosomatic 

 

So her parents "research" found wifi to be the culprit and instead of actually looking after their daughters mental and physical health, they just blamed it in EHS

 

Her mum says "I did research and found that wifi is dangerous" when in fact if she really DID research it, she would find out the wifi is not dangerous, and that her daughters illness is something else, either a physical allergic reaction to something or a mental psychosomatic illness

[KemoKa]

*Sigh* The scapegoats people will blindly point to when a loved one dies.

 

EHS? Electro-Hypersensitivity? Allergic to Wi-fi. Is this a fucking joke? She's allergic to Wi-fi? How naive are these parents?

Forgive me for being so callous, but if you're so clueless as to not notice that your child is having problems at school, physiological, social or otherwise and then blame her suicide on suffering from wireless radio communications, you shouldn't be allowed to raise children. In my mind, this is (partially) the parent's fault for being so blind, and her blaming it on radio waves is just her grasping at straws, looking at something to blame other than herself. And now all the luddites in the UK are going to rally round her, calling for an end to anything that emits electromagnetic radiation.

 

Sad, but completely stupid, and it could have been prevented.

Yeah but going to a doctor would be rational.. you can't be rational, can you?

I really would love to see a ton of effort dumped in to researching it because it may provide another look on how the electrical systems in our body work and react with the environment just because it's purely interesting. Other than that it's just jumping the gun and having a mental break down without attempting to prevent or fix it.

[cesrai]

Like other members pointed out. She was probably bullied or maybe she was mentally ill.

Also, what type of security does this school have if she was able to hang herself.

[Humbug]

^^Thing is when you get an idea like this into your head (the WiFi is harming me) it will drive you crazy for psychological reasons.
At that point those ideas in your head are just gnawing away at you and your brain is being allowed to use that to explain every little problem you have, this in turn causes further stress and stress exasperates all sorts of health issues.

It's literally impossible. Wifi is low power microwave...even if you wear a router as a hat they can't even penetrate your skin.

1. Bullshit, she was either bullied or suffering from a mental illness

As hard as this is on her parents, they should be persecuted for neglecting their child and whatever other laws not caring about her problems broke. Fucktard soccer mums thinking the first link on google going to a forum post by some other soccer mum makes them fucking experts

[Subsonic_Bouncer]

I'm calling bullshit on this. One does not simply become allergic to electromagnetic signals. If someone could, they would be dead simply from background noise from microwaves, heaphones, etc. and not using it as an excuse for suicide. My condolences go out to the family, but still.

They do actually penetrate, but a VAST majority of the photons will pass right through, analagous to visible light and glass

It sounds stupid doesn't it ? When a football mom thinks she's an expert and is so sure that it's due to WiFi.

agreed

[Sauron]

My condolences, but I really want to know what evidence she has that this is even remotely connected to wifi.

[christianled59]

Bullshit. How are you allergic to electromagnetic light that is slightly different than radio or microwaves?

[Humbug]

My condolences, but I really want to know what evidence she has that this is even remotely connected to wifi.

her mom says so

[Sithhy]

IMO if she would be allergic to EHS, then she would die way before...

Football mom says so.

my take on it

1. girl comes home, says something about not feeling well etc
2. mom being wise as fuck goes on the internets, sees something about why kids feel bad at school from some nutjob blaming EMR from routers
3. mom being a good scientsist believes that without a doubt, not fact checking, because she refuses to believe her child could be subject to bullying
4. shit gets worse, mom is retarded does nothing
5. kid hangs herself
6. mom is retarded does nothing still, maybe starts another movement of retarded uneducated females trying to ruin shit they dont understand

Yeah, didn't quite want to go as far as blaming bad parenting, but... well let's just say blaming wifi doesn't depone in their favour.

I blame solely bad parenting. Neglecting and/or being oblivious to your kids problems because you are a self centered retard of a soccer mom
