Do you know what your children are watching online?
I posted one thread these days talking about it. There was a news on TV about a boy here that was in hospital and his mother could save him from death. Amazingly, yesterday, received a message alerting her that one girl from the city accepted a mission to "give poisoned sweets to kids of a school". I never thought it would be so near me. I am so sad with this all! (Upvoted and resteemed!)

This makes raising kids a little more terrifying. But I guess it's just one more reason to be actively engaged and interested in your children and their lives.

Did you watch the video near the end? It gives many perspectives on this crime .
Yes, there are people in jail for this. In the video it shows (6 minuets in the video) a 21 year old who was caught for similar crimes. It a power trip.
With the many teen suicide horror movies and games and sick people with power issues it was only a matter of time when this would popup to the surface.

Unfortunately there is going to be more than one culprit and these kinds of crimes are going to increase. The technology, movies and social media will make sicos do bad things with tools most of us use for the good.

Hope you're having a great vacation. This is not the best kind of news you want to get on a vacation but if you have kids or young siblings it's important to know.

That is horrifying. Isn't there any legal action that can be taken against the group?

Russian authorities last year arrested Filip Budeikin, 21, who they claimed created the game and who faces charges of driving at least 15 teenagers to commit suicide.
Budeikin reportedly claimed the real number was higher and said: 'They died happy. I gave them that which they did not have in their real life: warmth, understanding, connection.'

I really don't like how the good name of the Blue Whale is being used to promote such evil!
Also, the internet can be depressing! But when you earn Money it keeps you from suicide! Like how steemit has that $ sign there always showing us that its ok and youre being paid! Dont kill youself because you have STEEM to spend and earn!
