Online suicide - Parent to sue chatters!!

[DivideBYZero]

A guy commited suicide whilst chatting online. Now the parents want to sue the chatters who egged him on, thinking he was just messing around....

His last ever words, that were typed not spoken, were

I told u I was hardcore

That made me laugh, even though it's tragic.

Story

how would they find out who the chatters were?

The guy was an itiot and deserved to be removed from the gene pool. Sorry to be so damn harsh, but if you pop a bunch of pills to prove you are "hardcore" and die, that is your own flucking fault, not anyone elses. Egged on or not.

He did what he wanted to do. Who am I to criticize his actions. Adios, arsehole!

There was a case on here a while back of a young man threatening suicide. People thought he was joking, and were quite callous at first. When they realized he wasn't joking, there really was a lot of concern, and gopunk contacted his ISP, who then called the police, and they got to his house and prevented him from doing it. He's doing well, last I heard. ATOT's a tight community.

There is an issue about how closely internet service providers scrutinise what is happening in chatrooms

Robin Bynoe, lawyer

Stupid stupid comment.

How would it even be possible for a ISP to monitor all the chatrooms?

For the most part everybody participated out of voyeuristic interest. Even when it was over they kept on posting about it without any regards to the poor kid who tried to ff himself because their were a bunch of nosey hens.

So I guess the guy thought he was cool committing suicide?

I read the story after it happened, now the parents are suing? Get real, the peopel in the chat were telling him to stop and get help.

Lawyers should have a bounty out for them. (sorry to the lawyers we have here)

But I mean this is just getting ridiculus. And you know the lawyer called them to initaite the suit once they had heard the news....FREE ADVERTISING.
