19 year old commits suicide online

This is an interesting story. The father wants tougher regulations of the Internet after his 19 year old son broadcast his suicide via Web cam, and told people on the site that he was going to kill himself hours before he did yet, allegedly, no one lifted a finger until the kid actually overdosed live on cam. I understand the father being horribly distraught, and anybody who thought this kid was really going to kill himself should have called the cops. But would we regulate coffee shops if he had announced at a Starbucks that he was going to kill himself in six hours and nobody did anything about it? Yes, there are sick people online, but one of them was this poor 19 year old. This kid's problem wasn't the Internet, and I suspect he'd have found another way to end his life had he not had a Web cam. Your thoughts? Remember, you don't have to register any more to comment.
