A SCHOOLBOY was found hanged in his bedroom after rowing with his parents when they banned him from using his laptop, an inquest heard.<\/p>\n

Connor Robertson, 12, was found by his brother at their family home in Castle Vale, Birmingham, on October 23 last year.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

His dad desperately tried to resuscitate him but he was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

An inquest into his death heard the family had just returned from a family holiday and Connor had been barred from using his computer for bad language.<\/p>\n

The youngster went upstairs to his bedroom when they got back home and was found by his brother 20 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Birmingham Coroner Louise Hunt recorded that Connor, who had Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, died from an "impulsive self-inflicted act".<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She added: "We know Connor suffered from ADHD.<\/p>\n

"He lived with his brother at home and we know he was on medication for his disorder. It seems as if things were settling down a little bit.<\/p>\n

"On the weekend before his death he had been away with his family to Wales and it went well and he had as good time.<\/p>\n

"He had used some bad language while he was away and was told he would not be able to use the computer. That had happened before."<\/p>\n

The coroner said the medical cause of death was hanging and added: "He suffered from ADHD which could make him impulsive.<\/p>\n

"It seems to me on all the evidence this was an impulsive act. I do not believe he intended to kill himself."<\/p>\n

His mum Jacqueline Robertson, 57, said her son was a lovely boy and "was an active child, a bit of a joker who loved his computers".<\/p>\n
