Clueless in Philly
PHILADELPHIA, April 28 (UPI) -- A semi-conscious 9-year-old Philadelphia boy was unable to tell police Thursday how he ended up hanging from a coat hook in his school's coatroom. Police spokesman Inspector William Colarulo said third grader Dominic Jones had an abrasion around one of his eyes, when a teacher found him Wednesday morning, but it was considered insignificant. | "It's not very big, only about the size of a fist. We have no idea how it got there." |
Until the boy is able to speak, it remained unclear if he intentionally or accidentally got himself tangled on the hook, or if someone put him there, the Philadelphia Inquirer said Thursday. | In the City of Brotherly Love, home of Philly fan? Hell, it could be anyone, including his little sister! |
The hook at the Samuel W. Pennypacker Elementary School is four feet from the ground. "One of the possibilities is that in order to hang up his coat, he had to jump up and couldn't get loose," said Paul Fink, a psychiatrist who serves as a consultant to the school district. "What I don't understand is why he couldn't yell out." | Don't get out much, do you Paul? |
