SARASOTA COUNTY - The families of three North Port High School students who died after being hypnotized by former Principal George Kenney will receive $200,000 each from the Sarasota County School District under a settlement agreement unanimously approved by the School Board at its meeting Tuesday night.

The $600,000 settlement closes a bizarre, yearslong case that began after former North Port High School Principal Kenney admitted he hypnotized 16-year-old Wesley McKinley a day before the teenager committed suicide in April 2011.

A subsequent investigation found that Kenney hypnotized as many as 75 students, staff members and others from 2006 until McKinley's death. One basketball player at the school said Kenney hypnotized him 30 to 40 times to improve his concentration.

Among those who were hypnotized were 17-year-old Brittany Palumbo and 16-year-old Marcus Freeman. Palumbo committed suicide in 2011. Freeman was in a fatal car accident after apparently self-hypnotizing, a technique Kenney taught the teenager, also in 2011.

So that's what they're calling rape these days.

I remember when I was hypnotized in high school. It wasn't by the principle, it was by my math teachers tits. The only thing that happened to me was excessive masturbation.

Seems like the principal was the scapegoat. The dentist wreck could of been by sedation and the suicides could have been for any million of reasons. He should of listened though.

Hmmmm

Not that hypnosis is a farce -- no more than guided or self-guided meditation -- but its power is greatly exaggerated and in no way, shape or form would it cause someone to commit suicide.

I've seen Office Space. The power of hypnosis is real. Plus I've totally seen on TV where they mad epeople think they were chickens and stuff when like a bell would ring. This principal was probably having the kids with bad grades off themselves so he could get the schools scores up.

That is a crazy story. We could really use a Florida board.
