A warning to parents about Blue Whale online game.

Just hearing from a friend who lives in Italy about a young boy who lives near her who committed suicide by jumping to his death after playing a new online game. It's called Blue Whale. The game tells you to follow several instructions. Finally, you draw a picture of a blue whale on your arm, before jumping from the highest building you can find. it sounds just horrific, so I thought I would warn the parents of young children about this. If you Google Blue Whale Deaths there are articles in today's newspapers about it. Why would someone devise such an horrific online game?

Not heard of Snopes before. Thanks for the link. My friend who I used to dance at the Moulin Rouge with lives in Italy. She said a 15 year old girl who lived in her village in Livorno threw herself off a building and had been "playing" Blue Whale apparently. If someone is already vulnerable going on a website like that won't exactly help their frame of mind. Thought people [parents] ought to be aware of it.
