"It's a video that has been circulating for years. It's disturbing yes but it's also 100% fake." No you are wrong tiktok just released this statement tonight: Quote Via TIKTOK OFFICIAL 'We have been informed of some major news regarding the tik tok app, if you have children who use it please stop them immediately as a guy has just shot himself live on video and people are reuploading the video on their profiles, it’s graphic and very disturbing. Please share this!' | |||

For anyone triggered by this stuff or anyone who has teenagers on there please tell them to stay off there while this is circulating.

(P2)" i was wrong too..I said I wouldnt comment any further: the problem is that this horrible suicide is now for those who have an agenda,against tik-tok.It's no different from the world of live streaming suicides/deaths/terrorism never used tiktok might never,never used snapchat,barely use kik all platforms that offer live streaming are victim to live actions,nothing can stop it. | |||

"I seriously don't get publishing your own death,and it is horrible but this person has wished others to look at him as he kills himself. WHy would anyone want this,as I said I'm trained in this stuff,go through personal periods about this stuff..but the absolute last thing I would EVER do is broadcast. Maybe it highlights mental health,in my opinion it just makes someone look like a severe horrendous human while outside death. Not saying it should be like this: suicide is a solitary act,suicidal ideation or attempts can be looked at as cries for help. this person clearly looked to be immortalised for too many fucked up reasons." Bear in mind that someone who does this is almost certainly not in rational/reasonable state of mind. Let's not victim blame. As far as im concerned those sharing it are the ones who should hang there heads. | |||

"His friend said this: Quote: One of McNutt’s friends, Josh Osteen, told Heavy that McNutt suffered from PTSD after serving in Iraq and that he seemed like a different person after leaving the military. He said: “I spent many a late night in our studio, via text message, and in person talking with him about life and his struggles.” Despite that, Osteen said that it is his firm belief that “Ronnie McNutt did not start the live stream to commit suicide.” He said McNutt had often gone on Facebook Live to “ramble,” but in this case, he was “incredibly d*unk, and that plus his recent relationship issues led to the end result.” Its very sad. Incredibly sad. He sounds like a decent chap. As it was broadcasted on facebook live on August 31st, I think his friends and family would have tragically seen it which is bad enough. But I don't think he would have meant for thousands of teens on tiktok to have witnessed it. Thats down to who ever on his friends list downloaded it and put it into circulation "Thats so very sad. | |||

Your comments come across as ignorant and somewhat offensive. Many people who commit suicide or attempt to take their lives do it in public places. Bridges, train tracks, roads. We had one guy try it in the disabled toilet at work not knowing who would come in and find him. I'm quite a heavy tiktok user and thankfully I have only seen videos warning others about this video and advising on how to get it taken down and how to report it. Tiktok have put out a statement saying they are removing all videos they can and deleting account of people who try to repeatedly upload it. The problem isn't the platform. The problem is the users who clearly have no moral code and want to post this on any platform they can. Tiktok is a great, fun place for the most part but there are a lot of children on there (both in age and mentality) who do nof understand the consequences of their actions. Suicide on live streaming platforms is not as rare as you might think, it just doesn't happen on the main sites so isn't as well known. Sadly there are sites dedicated to suicide where people will go live and be actively encouraged to do it in the comments. Again, the Internet is taking away some of the repercussions of this. To me it is at least manslaughter. I know it is difficult to talk about but I would encourage parents to at least let their children know that if they need to, they can talk to them. I appreciate some schools might be taking the lead on this. | |||

"The problem is now its in gif form etc people will just hold on to the images for a while before recirculating. I fear it'll be something g that keeps appearing " Safly it will be. Much like any other horrific imagery. This is why it is so important for people to talk to their kids about this stuff. The world is full of sick people who think it amusing to post people's suffering or to inflict hurt onto others. I myself have experienced suicide in my family as I know you have and thankfully for me and for your son people were able to talk to us about it in an appropriate way. I'm not saying sit them down and show them the samarirans website or force the conversation but instead demonstrate a safe space where they can ask any question about anything without judgment or punishment. | |||

Luckily she's managed to avoid those videos that I would find unacceptable and she knows that if I suspect anything strange is going on that I will have her phone from her. I warned her about this situation and she's agreed that she doesn't want to go into tiktok until this dies down. | |||

"I understand it not being mentioned / discussed at school, I think that is a parent’s role on how to broach it with their child if needed and some will choose not to. It’s a tough conversation to have and a parent knows their child and the words to be used, so they get an understanding without the gory details and readily available to answer their questions. It’s one I don’t ever want to have again with my lad, so painful | |||

Suicide on live streaming platforms is not as rare as you might think, it just doesn't happen on the main sites so isn't as well known. Sadly there are sites dedicated to suicide where people will go live and be actively encouraged to do it in the comments. Again, the Internet is taking away some of the repercussions of this. To me it is at least manslaughter. I know it is difficult to talk about but I would encourage parents to at least let their children know that if they need to, they can talk to them. I appreciate some schools might be taking the lead on this. very well said
You took the words out of my mouth. I am a Mental Health First Aider and work in mental health, I can feel nothing but empathy and sadness for the man. The first thing any training teaches you is to be non judgemental.
OF COURSE you can't understand why someone who do that, I pray no one can understand it. "Totally agree with you both | |||

"This is a little to close to home for me, I’ve had to have a similar chat with the lad last week, he can’t get his head around it. The fact some people think it is ok to share this sort of thing sickens me Its horrendous. Iv just received an email from work saying emails are being sent out to parents and staff should be aware and deal with any issues that come up but it won't be mentioned otherwise at this stage.
I understand it not being mentioned / discussed at school, I think that is a parent’s role on how to broach it with their child if needed and some will choose not to.
It’s a tough conversation to have and a parent knows their child and the words to be used, so they get an understanding without the gory details and readily available to answer their questions. It’s one I don’t ever want to have again with my lad, so painful "Yes its normally the policy but unfortunately it normally comes up when its something awful. Offen when a child sees someone awful or something they shouldn't online they won't talk to their parents about it because its often something they know they shouldn't be looking at and don't want to get into trouble. I'm talking about children aged between 7 and 11 here so hopefully a lot won't have seen it but some will have and will tell others about it. There will probably just be a general discussion about online safety and what to do if you see something that upsets you. Its something that is talked about regularly anyway. | |||

"I seriously don't get publishing your own death,and it is horrible but this person has wished others to look at him as he kills himself. WHy would anyone want this,as I said I'm trained in this stuff,go through personal periods about this stuff..but the absolute last thing I would EVER do is broadcast. Maybe it highlights mental health,in my opinion it just makes someone look like a severe horrendous human while outside death. Not saying it should be like this: suicide is a solitary act,suicidal ideation or attempts can be looked at as cries for help. this person clearly looked to be immortalised for too many fucked up reasons. Bear in mind that someone who does this is almost certainly not in rational/reasonable state of mind. Let's not victim blame. As far as im concerned those sharing it are the ones who should hang there heads. I understand not victim blaming, I still have to question why anyone even in the worst state of mind would post something knowing it will affect countless millions.using a platform that is used by many under 18's...fuckit I'll victim blame.It's disgusting. I'm not saying what he/she did was right obviously it wasn't. However think about it for a second, this person was almost certainly very unwell and not in a place to think about the consequences. as i said, ive' worked with suicidal people in the past, I understand the blame feeling and the cultures it extends to. to put yourself on camera and show it publicly around the world,just no. unless this is a growing trend god forbid,from my knowledge there have been very few live streamed suicides. Not saying you are condoning the action,but to say that people who are responsible enough to turn on their phone/computer,find the correct buttons etc..it must take a lot to sit and finally think..."maybe this might hurt a lot of people,kids especially". I heard a 17yr old instagrammer has possibly killed themselves too, seven fucking teen 100k's subscribers etc,some questionable content etc" Sorry, but I think you're training is either outraged or just terribly misinformed. Depression isn't the only reason someone might take their own life. Many people have mental health issues they CANNOT control. Yes, it's abhorrent that it was broadcast online for anyone to see. But we don't know his state of mind or if he was in any kind of control over his thoughts or actions. What you're doing is victim shaming. I totally get where it's coming from, I agree, it's horrendous. But it more than likely wasn't a conscious decision he made. | |||

"Those victim blaming. Have you ever felt like you have no voice, like nobody is listening? Have you ever felt so so low you're in physical pain? Your mental anguish coursing through your body like electricity? All you want is someone to listen, someone to TRULY understand? Someone to tell you it WILL be OK and for once you believe them? My guess, and it is only a guess based on my own mental health issues, is that there was a voiceless soul who no matter how many times spoke, so desperately wanted to be heard." | |||

"Unfortunately that vid is now being camouflaged by innocents content. The video start with something cute, kittens or fluffy bunnies, so of course you watch because who doesn't like kittens. Then they insert those few seconds of the guy ending his life. You have no idea what is going to be shown so it is doubly horrifying and no doubt traumatising. " I haven't opened the app all day...i will probably delete it tbh. People are fucking demented for sharing it! | |||

I think now that they have said they will start permanently banning accounts that share and view the several times it will stop as many sharing it. | |||
