Online Suicide


In the playground the kids goad each other into doing supid things, and occasionally people get hurt as a result. I’m sure there are a few deaths every year as a result. Now, through the power of the Internet, you can do it remotely. Participants in an internet chat persuaded a fellow poster to take so many drugs he killed himself. Police feel that he took the drugs of his own accord and the others aren’t really responsible, but you can bet they’re living in fear of the lawsuit that’s bound to come.
