Someone needs to get Adult Protective Services involved.
If she makes it, she will need good counseling and good friends. She also needs to cut all ties with her parents. |

Suicide (attempts) is against the law, so I would think that encouraging someone to break a law would be illegal.
How sad.

Quoted:
I just got a call that an acquaintance from church is in the hospital after a suicide attempt. Apparently her parents have been telling her how worthless she is for the last month, suggesting she just go and kill herself. If I hadnt heard them talk to her before, I would assume it was made up. I guess she decided to take their advice, and now she is clinging to life. I have met these parents, they are the scum of the earth. Lets hope, for their sake, that she makes it through the night. Im going to the hospital right now, please pray for a friend of mine. Will update. Psychological abuse. She'll be in my prayers. |

Quoted:
it should not be illegal to talk anyone into anything. you should look at the legal term ..."Coercion" In case you are already smart enough to know but your thought is out of place ...Here you are.. Coercion (pronounced /koʊˈɜrʒən/ or /koʊˈɜrʃən/) is the practice of forcing another party to behave in an involuntary manner (whether through action or inaction) by use of threats, intimidation, trickery, or some other form of pressure or force. Such actions are used as leverage, to force the victim to act in the desired way. Coercion may involve the actual infliction of physical pain/injury or psychological harm in order to enhance the credibility of a threat. The threat of further harm may lead to the cooperation or obedience of the person being coerced. Torture is one of the most extreme examples of coercion i.e. severe pain is inflicted on victims in order to extract the desired information from the tortured party.

One of the few times I'm going to recommend getting CPC involved.
If she's an adult, she needs to get a restraining order out on her parents, and go see a Psychiatrist.

My understanding is that she is living with them while going to a local college, shes not a bum or anything. If thats the case, then I guess there's not much they could do, unless they still have other minor kids. Even so, check with a lawyer since you could get someone one nearly anything nowadays, and those creeps deserve whatever you can send their way!  She should completely cut any ties to her parents, though. Like I said, have her get counciling and professional psychiatric help. Screwed up childhoods don't just go away on their own. |

Think about the tort "Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress." Now, it's just a tort, but mere words can sometimes rise to the level required for recovery of damages. It depends entirely upon the known mental condition of the victim and the intent of the enticers. |

They also told her that she would never make it in life since she got some C's in college. Like I said in the OP, I have met and been around these parents briefly, and in that short time realized how cruel and hateful they were toward her. Sometimes I wish I could play Frank Castle for a day, I really think it would be very satisfying.... |

I don't think there is any reason to pursue criminal charges, even if some could be brought. The daughter needs intense counseling, and go from there. SHe probably suffered this same abuse when she was a child and now considers herself worthless.
Some people are just too damaged to ever recover. |

Yes, very, sadly. She is a gorgeous girl who grew up with an insecure, drug addicted mother. When your mom is competing with you for attention from your father, she will say some nasty things to cut you down. The dad is too pussywhipped to stand up for his kid, so he ends up siding with the mom. Both of them deserve to be crucified, and I would love to have a beer and watch. |
