very tragic, and I'm very sorry the girl is dead. the mother was wrong to do what she did.

what if "josh" had been a real person, and they had a 4 week relationship and broke up and she committed suicide. would we blame "josh"???

maybe the girl's parents should be held a little accountable for poor parenting skills, for not educating their daughter that sometimes you get kicked in the teeth (whatever) and you have to be tougher than what life throws at you. horse throws you, get up and get back on the horse. you have to be one resilient son of a bitch to make it in this world. personally, my own beliefs and religious upbringing in my youth have taught me suicide is a sin. despite that, I contemplated suicide twice when I was much younger. my parents religious beliefs compelled them to send their sons to church, probably saved my life.
