I still didn't believe it when I read it....

Here's the site excerpt:

>>Pokémon Confiscation Leads to Suicide

Cards: A U.K. schoolboy was found hanged in his home after a teacher confiscated his Pokémon cards.

According to a report in The Times, the family of 10-year-old is demanding an independent inquiry into his death. The boy was discovered by his father, suspended by a nylon stocking from a shower rail, in February. His mother says her son's problems at school surfaced when he threatened suicide after his Pokemon cards were confiscated by the teacher.

She said her son had written a letter stating that he felt picked on by teachers and was contemplating suicide. It read: "They are bullies. I just want to die, I'm going to hang myself." <<
