Facebook Post Condemning Suicide Victims to Hell Draws Threats

Controversial thoughts about suicide victims posted by a 19-year-old Oak Forest woman to Facebook drew hundreds of responses and a slew of threats, police said.

The message, posted to the woman's personal Facebook profile, made references to having no feelings toward suicidal people and that they were all going to live in hell, according to Oak Forest police.

The woman called cops on Oct. 31 after more than 250 comments were posted in response, including threats of assault from strangers and one comment that offered "$100 for her head,"according to an Oak Forest police report.

The woman also provoked the situation by posting various comments of her own, including "I"m not scared of nobody" and "Haha, lets laugh your friends are in hell [sic],” the report states.

Cops suggested that the Oak Forest woman remove the post, block other users and change her privacy settings. Officers also advised her to stop writing back. The woman reportedly told police she would make the changes but left the post.

Readers contacted Oak Forest Patch recently over concerns about the sentiments expressed by the woman. The Facebook post has since been edited to read "Leave me alone."

No arrests were reported by police.
