| |  Spate of suicides blamed on social networking sites
BBC NEWS | Wales | Web worries after suicide spate Quote:
Social networking websites could be "romanticising" suicide, an MP claims after the deaths of seven young people from her area in the past year.
Last week Natasha Randall, 17, was found hanged at her home near Bridgend and a girl who is believed to know her self-harmed a day later.
South Wales Police are investigating if they had made contact on the internet, by e-mail or on a networking site.
Bridgend MP Madeleine Moon will raise internet use issues with police.
| So here we have a case of technology having the finger pointed at once again over occurances that have happened for decades.
Similary, politicans and the media have been known to blame the use of violent computer games on mass shootings and un-provoked massacures around the world.
WHY ON EARTH are events like this being blamed on the use of modern technology? It really gets my back up. |
