Internet Suicides
It’s so very sad that someone could go through with this. Death is permentent. It’s not something to be treated lightly - but should those who encourage it be tracked down?

Thanks Mamyalynne
Yes - that’s what I was referring to.
There are people who are genuinely vulnerable, and as normal human adults, if you saw someone in trouble, your initial reaction would be “Help them....stop them from doing the worst possible trying”.
The Internet in many ways is a completely liberating and energising technologal development, which makes our live better.
...but it can give voice to scumbags too.
It’s so sad.
We have to be aware that there are other adults who revel in the negative.

Better than what we usually get:
- Girl has her whole family killed by a typhoon and spend her dying moment hallucinating about a lion man, a iron man and a scarecrow.
- man contemplates his suicide and is brought brack from the bring from death by a so-called ‘angel’.
- Child is abandoned by his family, and has to dealt with burglars
- Nun helps Jewish family escape Nazis

I’ve thought about that for a while, and the answer is pretty shocking. You know when you hear about sites that encourage the sharing of child porn or extremist material, you think “Well, why can’t the government just shut down the site?”
The problem, is that because the Internet is international, nosingle country has the the level of influence that they would have if they had a badly behaving (say) export company.
That’s why these sites flourish.

The freedom of the internet (especially it's conferring of anonymity) is also its major drawback. I was thinking the same only this morning as I got two particulary clever Scam e-mails (purporting to come from HMRC), with a number of built-in traps. These people should be prosecuted for conspiracy to defraud, as they would be in any other environment.
