What do you do if one of the users of your website announces that he will commit suicide?
How do you handle Suicide Threats?
moderation;community management
You should handle it just like any other threat to someone's life. A person threatening suicide, or to kill someone else, is still threatening to kill someone. The only sensible thing to do is try and report it.If you have the visitor's information, you may be able to get in touch with a local police department. This might be difficult if the visitor is from another country. If not, you have the FBI, etc, even if they tell you that there's nothing they or you can do.If the person followed through, at least you tried to report it, furthermore, nobody can say you failed to report it, though I hate to bring up public perception in such a topic.
