Online suicide encouragement

Category: Death and Injury
Posted on: March 11, 2008 7:00 AM, by Chris

Chodorowski Z, Sein Anand J. [Internet as a means of persuading a patient to commit a suicide] Przegl Lek. 2002;59(4-5):375-6. Polish.

So apparently this lady in Poland trolled the internet for a depressed student, found one, and then proceeded to badger her into committing suicide by sending her near-daily memos on how to efficiently off herself. A great reminder (in case you needed one) of how fucked up some people are, and how dangerous the Internet can be sometimes.

I read your link. Yep, a sad story for sure! I have been suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for over 16 years and yesterday was a rough health day, so I can relate to wanting to just die and go to heaven! How incredibly rough and sad life can be seems to have been the motive for the encourager in this story! No question about it, life can be really sad sometimes!
