if you see a person about to jump of a cliff and take no action to stop it even if it was well within your ability you cannot be held responsible for what happens.

She watched someone step up on the cliff then told them to jump. They stepped down and she berated them and told them to jump. They said they couldn't she berated them some more and told them to step up and jump. The most disturbing thing to me reading through the texts were when he says another day wouldn't be that bad. That is what could have kept him alive as he worked through whatever it was that was so burdensome on him. Just another day and maybe his meds get straightened out. Just another day and maybe he sees death isn't the answer. This was a young man with troubles that weighed heavily upon him who confided and trusted in her. Who knows if she was the only thing he clung to. I don't absolve him of blame, but he swung open the door that could have saved him and she slammed it back in his face. What she did was absolutely sadistic all so she could get the attention of being the girl whose boyfriend committed suicide.
