Mikey Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 This story made me sick to my stomach, how on earth can such low life people have the cheek to make someone so young and innocent take their own life. Scum like that shouldn't walk this earth. http://news.sky.com/story/1125847/hannah-smith-charge-site-over-death-says-dad I want everyone to read this and THINK before you SPEAK, the increasing number of trolls in this game and for the wider picture online. I hope certain people find this topic and stop before they do some real damage, you never know how people will take things. R.I.P to this young girl, I hope this sort of thing is avoided in the future, they are talking about telling someone to kill themselves online to become a criminal offense I am 100% behind that as I'm sure many others are!! 3
dronez4 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Oh my.. i hate how people can actually live with knowing they got someone killed in RL.. R.I.P To that girl and hoping that shes in a better place now =/ You're right.. people's mind under stress can be very.. inaccurate and it will make u do things I Think all the trolls out there need to grow up, because if they get someone killed and i know it, i will never be the same to them again Infact.. that person.. will have to watch what they're doing in the future. i would be more than dissapointed. lets just say that. Bless that girl, she did not deserve any of that stress at all. 2
TheHero Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 fucking trolls need to stop why would someone do this, fucking trolls
StJohn Gumby Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Very strange case. Apparently Ask.fm are claiming 98% of the troll posts on her page were sent by herself (or at least from a computer with the same I.P.) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2389212/Hannah-Smith-Suicide-teen-trolled-say-Latvian-website-chiefs-Ask-fm.html Very strange indeed.
Mikey Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Strange indeed gumbo guess we will have to wait and see, although my original message remains the same it's not the first time this has happened I just find it quite sickening.
Volcom Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 This is very sad indeed. The underlying problem is bullying. It has always been an issue. Kids are mean. They are for a variety of reasons: -Make themselves feel bigger -Abuse at home -Encouragement from peers -Psychological problems Honestly too many factors too name. The problem is the internet has made it way to easy to do so. Unfortunately there is not current way to police it. It would have to involve international law and honestly there would be far too many people to prosecute. The websites where the bullying happened as completely protected by their term of service. They make all users agree to them before registering. The main thing that needs to be done is parents need to monitor what their children are doing online. They need to make sure they have good communication with their kids and set up blocks on their computers. It is tragic but bullying on and off the internet is something that I cannot imagine will ever go away. Thoughts are with the girls family though, I can't imagine what they are going through. 1
Mikey Posted August 15, 2013 Author Posted August 15, 2013 Couldn't agree more Volcom, society is on a downhill spiral it seems but I'm just glad that places like here exist we're the rules on this sort of stuff are actually enforced, players find comfort here and that's good to know. If only the rest was like that its just a shame it takes a death for others to realise the damage that is caused
StJohn Gumby Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 While I agree with what you girls said about bullying and trolls on the internet, i find something about this whole story isn't feeling right... If 98% of the trolling came from the same IP as hers, why would she troll herself? I notice from the article she has a sister...... surely not..... something ain't right here. Gumby
Volcom Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 I thought the same Gumby. I was thinking the step-mom. Oh conspiracy theories. 1
StJohn Gumby Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Like I said to Joetorp on the Grassy Knoll off Deely Plaza in '63, 'could be the butler for all I know, sister,Marilyn, stepmum, FBI, dad, Jackie, dog, Mafia, goldfish, idk. something don't ring true about this'. fairly sure they can't pin this one on Lee Harvey Oswald this time tho' Gumby
Joetorp Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Like I said to Joetorp on the Grassy Knoll off Deely Plaza in '63, 'could be the butler for all I know, sister,Marilyn, stepmum, FBI, dad, Jackie, dog, Mafia, goldfish, idk. something don't ring true about this'. fairly sure they can't pin this one on Lee Harvey Oswald this time tho' Gumby Gumbo, Did you forget our discussion concerning global warming on the high hills of Bumfuck, Egypt in 1962 where I said the internet would not be a positive thing for young people in High School? If what you say is true concerning this unfortunate incident, it would be a sad turn of events. Joe 1
StJohn Gumby Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Ah, the high hills of Bumfuck '62. Happy Days. Remember it well Joe, turns out you were right as usual. Gumby P.S. Youth is wasted on the Young. 1
