Your rightWell, he didn't do anything wrong so he shouldn't have to. Unless they can prove he told the kids to kill themselves under hypnosis....

He was a certified hypnotist.I think him not actually being licensed is where the problem lies.
The families of three Florida students who died after being hypnotized by their then-principal will each receive $200,000 in a settlement with the school district.
“The thing that is the most disappointing to them is that he never apologized, never admitted wrongdoing and is now living comfortably in retirement in North Carolina with his pension,”
because you had someone who decided to perform medical services on kids without a license
Permission slip or not if you don't have the training to do a medical act then you're breaking the law.

And putting someone under hypnosis is usually done by a trained practitioner.
instead of a hack psychotherapist.
It follows a report by school chiefs who found that he had lied to officials about hypnotism sessions and defied three separate orders to stop the practice.
It's really, really hard to accidentally overdose to the point of dying on the vast majority of medications; only 5% of those who are actually trying to commit suicide by OD succeed. People don't just take the amount of medicine needed to kill them by mistake. So the assumption of suicide is a valid one, especially if he left a note or ODed on a medication he took regularly.How did they even conclude that? He probably just took too much. That's such a common occurrence, I'm not sure why they made the leap straight to suicide.

Am I the only person who read this part of the op?

Has anyone here ever been hypnotized? Just curious
It’s probably the worst loss that can happen to a parent is to lose a child, especially needlessly because you had someone who decided to perform medical services on kids without a license. He altered the underdeveloped brains of teenagers, and they all ended up dead because of it.”
the article said "The day before he killed himself he underwent a hypnosis session with Mr Kenney, a certified hypnotist who has written a book on the subject."If he was licensed then why did the family attorney say this:
5. Hypnosis, volition, and mind control
5.1. Is the hypnotist in control of me?
The question of volition becomes important when we consider the long-studied question of whether a hypnotist can influence an individual to perform behaviors which they would not 'ordinarily' want to perform, such as to commit crimes or to injure themselves or others.

Various authors have reported attempts by the U.S. CIA to research or use hypnotic techniques for mind control. All seem to report failure rates consistent with the experimental findings. Some people in some situations are apparently vulnerable to sudden confusion techniques of suggestion, but the use of classical hypnosis as 'mind control' is entirely unreliable in general. If you consider the speeches of a powerful orator or evangelical preacher to be a form of hypnosis, this seems to be the type most powerful in influencing the minds of people. And this type of situation is perhaps as well described in terms of social/group psychology as individual response to hypnotic suggestion.
