[QUOTE="IronSnake, post: 15631792, member: 46336"] When someone tells you they are suicidal, offers proof of potential commitment of it, and then essentially begs for help when they say "Should I go thru with it?" and you offer words of encouragement to do it, you are responsible from a negligence stand point. You have a social [I]and moral[/I] obligation to call the suicide hotline or the police when someones on the edge. The same holds true for someone who is threatening to throw themselves off the bridge. If you see it, don't do anything to help, and then make the situation worse by compounding their mental state by saying "do it", you are responsible to a varying degree. Now I understand when someone continues to threaten it and doesn't do it, but this is also why you call their bluff and call the hotline. They will straighten up pretty quickly. Another thought: If you knew someone was held against their will next door being raped and beaten and went on record as encouraging the person who did it via text, would that not make you an accessory? It would in most courts and in my eyes. She didn't get a text and ignore it, nor did she avoid the topic entirely. She specifically went out of her way to encourage the man to commit suicide.
