Horrifying "Blue Whale" game being investigated in Palma
The game involves self-harming, such as cutting an image of the whale on the arm.

The "Blue Whale" game is an internet phenomenon aimed at children and young people that takes its name from the way that some whales commit mass suicide. It seems to have originated in Russia, where there have been arrests of organisers, but has spread via social networks. It involves participants performing ever more extreme tasks over a period of fifty days. The ultimate "challenge" is to commit suicide, the preferred method apparently being by jumping off a building.

I have been following this story in Ultima Hora but seemed to be 'missing something' in the translation. Obviously not! What a world we live in where people have become sheep instead of leaders. Reminds me of the 'sick people' who encourage others to blow themselves up so they can rise up to the heavens to be met by 72 virgins. My response......you first!
