Suicide committed by a 13-year-old Indain girl named Aditi Gupta after being banned by her own mother to use and forcibly close down her Facebook account. The teenager's 36-year-old mother, Mohana Gupta, told her daughter to stop wasting her time with the social media site which eventually led the girl to killing herself, according to MailOnline reports.
The teenager who was reported to had committed suicide over her mother's request that she should stop wasting her time and stop using Facebook by closing her account, happened just after her mother left home for work. Upon returning to their house, the girl's mother discovered her daughter, Aditi Gupta hanged herself inside her own bedroom.
The girl that committed suicide was known to have been very upset on her mother for reprimanding her for spending too much time online chatting with her friends on Facebook. The mother , Mohana Gupta told police that she was shocked and in grief over the death of her daughter, she even said that could not believe that her daughter would commit suicide for "something so trivial."
Mohana Gupta also gave statements to the police that she leaves for work at around 9:30 in the morning, and that her husband leaves earlier than her while her other children were at their grandmother's house for the holidays when the incident happened. She even narrated the whole story saying "When I was about to leave, my daughter was sitting in front of the computer. I was angry because she was spending a lot of time on social networking. I tolde her she was too young to be on Facebook and was wasting her time."
The current suicide incident urged a debate in India over the social media Faceboook, and the responsibility of parents over their children towards the use of the social networking sites. There were also signs that there are some danger that should be evaluated upon the use of too much social media sites, and as adults they should be more obligated to handle their children who are hooked in using these sites.
