Reminds me of one of my Mom's friends in the '50s - she was really upset because she was pissed at her boss and told him to drop dead -- which he did later that nigh of a massive heart attack.
I realize it ain't the exact same thing but where does one draw the line. If someone urges a girlfriend to have an abortion, or even perform one on herself, it kills a baby -- under the "standards" used here, that person should also be indicted.
She is truly evil. She pushed him and pushed him. She is a sociopath. She wanted the attention she would garner after he died. This was a manipulative ***** who used the ultimate power over another vulnerable human being. There really are no words to describe this person.
That all said, she will get away with it.
Absolutely. The boy obviously had issues, and she played upon those issues. She could have walked away and said it is over, but she instead chose to repeatedly goad him until he finally acquiesced.
What you described sounded like a one time event, a nasty remark voiced while in a particularly bad mood. What happened with these two here though, was not a one time event, but an extended campaign to cloud the boy’s feeble mind and shape his behavior.
She knew he was highly suggestible, and many boys that age will be with young girls. She knew he had few other influences in his life that could counter her suggestions. This boy seemed to feel both inferior and deeply depressed. This gal must have known how the end result could look, and like a film director(or like the Intercom voice of your own consciousness), she hectored him in order to achieve that result.
Sorry but she didn’t just shout out in anger kill yourself...
She actively manipulated and influenced him over extended periods of time to commit this act.
She is a sick twisted sociopath
I have said “drop dead” to a number of people, particularly guys who were acting like jerks. It was just a phrase we used in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. These guys are all fine and turned out well - without me in their life.
We certainly didn’t use the “whatever” or “yeah, right” which seems to be popular among young people today. Such a response in my house would have resulted in a slap across my face and a washing out of my mouth with soap.
I agree, camel/tent, slope/slippery.
If you wine & dine a woman for weeks/months and then finally convince her to have sex with you, could she later claim that you talked her into it so now it’s rape?
Awful, evil, rotten, sure, but criminally responsible????? I say no.
If you hand someone who is suicidal a loaded gun you can and will be prosecuted.
This pretty well fits into that category.....
