    Online Suicide Threats:
    In November, Abraham Biggs, 19, took his life on the Internet while people watched and did nothing. Parry Aftab, of WiredTrust.com, shares some steps to take if you come across someone making a suicide threat online:


    1. Do a screen capture and save a copy of the Web page
    2. Copy the URL
    3. Go to the Web site's "Report Abuse" button
    4. When reporting the incident, paste the URL into the body or attach the screen capture document that you saved (or just tell them that you have a screen capture). Be sure to let them know what time you saw the suicide threat and what time zone you are in.
