Internet suicide in Japan
Today I am going to talk about the internet suicide in japan, this moral panic beginning with the appearance of online suicide chartroom in japan, a group called ”NEET” is the group of people who chat online and plan to suicide together.
This case first happened in November 22, 2004, Tokyo - Six people have died of carbon monoxide poisoning by burning charcoal stoves in their cars, in the latest of the growing number of suicide pacts in Japan, police said on Monday. Three people -- a 21-year-old university student, a 25-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman with a part-time job -- were found dead in a car in the southern city of Fukuoka on Sunday, police said. The suicide pact was suspected to have been arranged over the Internet as the three came from different parts of Japan.
One month later, Police found seven young people dead in a deserted van outside Tokyo in what was believed to be Japan's biggest-ever group suicide, while also finding two women dead in an apparent suicide pact in a car at a temple. The cases -- involving young people in their teens and 20s -- raised alarm over suicide agreements, many of which are made by people who meet over the Internet.
After these group suicide happened, amount of messages were shown on the online suicide chartroom, the words like “people who want to kill themselves use charcoal stoves and pills, let’s go together” “I can’t do it by myself, I need partner!!!” The procedure of make suicide appointment was very easy. Two people get know the address from each other, one person said:”that’s not a joke, we will commit suicide together.” Then another said:”so when you suppose to do, I am serious.” then they will accompany to carry out their plan.
