British authorities failed to act on multiple official warnings about a website promoting suicide that has been connected to at least 50 UK deaths, the BBC has found.
The online forum, which we are not naming, is easily accessible to anyone on the open web, including children.
The BBC investigation identified multiple warnings to government by coroners and a number of police investigations, but the forum still remains active.
Families of the dead, the youngest just 17, say the failure to act led to more avoidable deaths. They are demanding an inquiry.
They’re speaking out, despite the risks others may find the forum, because they want action now to shut it down and prevent deaths in the future.
