moral question

[kortick]

As many of you may have guessed
I am not the exactly the person you
would consider chock full of morals

not that I am as bad as I used to be.

thats why I need your opinions
some of you here do have strong morals.
here is the deal:

Recently a good friend of mine, his
17 year old son killed himself.
The father went into the bedroom
and there he was swinging from a rope.

Now this kid was really a great kid
you couldnt help but like him,
always smiling. Its like he brought the sun
with him wherever he went.

He didnt leave a note, but we pretty much
know what drove him over the edge.

the moral problem for me:
they called and wanted to know how to hack into
his computer, ie his myspace page, his emails,
and other things that has password locks they couldnt get around.
I told them what to do, how to get into everything.

was it wrong of me to do this?
should I have told them not to go thru his stuff?
or was it right for them to know more?

I dont have a moral compass
so I dont know if I helped them or
betrayed him.

what would you have done if presented with the
same situation?

Prying into his **** after the fact isn't going to bring him back. Let sleeping corpses lie and let it be.

[Shadowofthedead]

no it wasnt wrong for you to do his parents deserved to know what the hell made him do what he did.

[Mike70]

No it wasn't wrong of you at all. his parents deserve to know what caused a 17 year old to hang himself.

that is sad and as a parent chills my blood to about 2 degrees kelvin.

Its a shame that his folks weren't as involved in his life before he killed himself. I think you did the right thing, he is dead and gone, all thats left is his grieving family. Sometimes not knowing why someone did something is worse than knowing (IMO), So hopefully they can figure out what it was and come to terms with it and get over the shock and confusion and just focus on the love that they had for him instead.

Kor, you did the right thing buddy. His e-mail and messages may hold a clue as to how his suicide came about. It wont bring him back but it might provide some peace of mind.

[Legion2213]

no it wasnt wrong for you to do his parents deserved to know what the hell made him do what he did.

+1

You did the right thing IMO...this kids parents might not like what they find, but not knowing would probably hurt them more. They deserve some sort of closure.

[3pidemiC]

No, there is nothing wrong in what you did

or it could do the exact opposite, but you cant help that, it was still the right thing to do.

[Neil]

Difficult one, but if they wanted to know, and you simply helped them, I don't see any blame being on you...

[Chic Freak]

I think you did the right thing. It won't make any difference to him but it might help those left behind.

when i was in the hospital when i tried to do the act, My parents went through everything of mine. Letters, artbook, writing thingys. Didn't have a computer back then, so that was mute.

I was incredibly pissed off, afterall, they went through my personal belongings, without my consent (i was afterall drugged lieing in a hospital bed at the time).

I would have done the same thing if our roles were switched.

You did the right thing Kortick.

Did the right thing mate it may give them some help to closure
