A teenage girl hanged herself because her mother demanded that she remove herself from Facebook.<\/p>\n
Aditi Gupta, 13, was so upset by her mother Mohana berating her for spending too much time chatting with her friends, she committed suicide in her bedroom.<\/p>\n
Mrs Gupta, 36, told her daughter before leaving for work: \u2018I want that Facebook account closed by the time I come home.\u2019 She returned for lunch four hours later to find her dead.
\nShe told police she couldn\u2019t believe her daughter would end her life over ‘something so trivial’.<\/p>\n
She said: “I generally leave for work around 9.30am. But my husband left early and my older son was at his grandmother\u2019s house for the holidays.
\n‘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.<\/p>\n
‘I told her she was too young to be on Facebook and was wasting her time’.<\/p>\n
The case has triggered a debate in India about Facebook, parental responsibility and the \u2018loss\u2019 of children to cyberspace contacts.<\/p>\n
