Police arrest teen after alleged online suicide threats

A 17-year-old Fairfield Twp. teen pretended to be suicidal when he became frustrated with an online video game, Fairfield Twp. police reported..

According to officials, the teen was arrested Monday, Dec. 29, for inducing panic after patrol officers and medics responded to the boy's home in the 3000 block of Pimlico Court. The charge is a first-degree misdemeanor.

The teen was having an online conversation with a representative of Blizzard Entertainment, an online video game company, when he typed that "he was suicidal and that the game is the only thing he has to live for," according to the report.

The company representative called 911.

The juvenile told police it was a joke "to try to get what he wanted for the game," according to the report. He was then handcuffed and placed in a patrol car. The boy was released to his father.

The boy is scheduled to appear in Butler County Juvenile court on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

The moral of the story here is...always lie to the police.

The kid should've confirmed he was suicidal and gotten a five-day vacation in the mental hospital (which are pretty alright these days) on the tab of his insurance company. Now he's gotta pay a fine and do community service, most likely.

Alcoholics in detox and violent small children would've been what he had to look forward to, unless they keep him in intensive care with the real crazies. Either way, the brat comes out ahead.

But they don't care if you claim you're going to stab your eye out with a pencil?

That was early days, before the reps got sensitivity and self mutilation awareness training.
