Feel sad for the student... scammed and ended up committing suicide.

Also sad that he felt he had to steal from his family instead of asking them for advice first?

I do wonder what the online thieves do with there conscience when causing a persons death from there greed .

If caught then they should be charged with manslaughter at least .

That's the big problem over here ( as well as the UK these days), they don't parent, they think being a good parent is spoiling them and giving in to them.

 

They just aren't there for guidance, advice, help and assistance.

 

The famous mantra here is to wait while things go completely wrong and then ' deny,deny, deny responsibility '

 

Terrible that should a young boy thought this was an option!

 

RIP young fella, a great shame.
