WTF? They don't give him help, they arrest him?



This is incredibly sad, what? So a cry for help is an arrestable offense now?

(My country has terrible suicide statistics and I personally know of two people who have died by suicide)

The juvenile told police it was a joke "to try to get what he wanted for the game,"

Assuming this is true, they had reason to do something (arrest, I don't know...). It's a psychological attack on the Blizzard employee.

 

Yeah, I know... But suicide is a touchy subject for me.

 

 

Me too Squilliam, they should really get the kid some help.  Even if he was joking, that's certainly disturbing that the kid would go through that much trouble over nothing.  The kid needs help.
