Bereaved families call for inquiry into government response to suicide websites

Bereaved families are demanding a government inquiry into the response to suicide websites that promote the use of a toxic substance. Campaigners claim that at least 133 people in the UK have died after being exposed to this substance, which is discussed on online forums. The families argue that the government and internet companies have failed to take sufficient action to address the issue. They believe that more needs to be done to regulate and monitor these websites, which are providing information and encouragement about methods of self-harm. The call for an inquiry comes as the families continue to grieve the loss of their loved ones. They are seeking answers and accountability from the authorities, hoping to prevent similar tragedies in the future. The article highlights the ongoing concerns about the impact of the internet on mental health and the need for a comprehensive and coordinated response to address the issue of suicide-related content online.
