SUMMARY - Social Media and Public Judgment

A video of a person in mental health crisis goes viral, their most vulnerable moment viewed millions of times, commented on by strangers who diagnose, mock, and judge someone they will never know - the person in the video perhaps recovered but their crisis preserved forever, available for anyone to find. A teenager's suicide attempt becomes topic of social media discussion, her classmates sharing opinions about why it happened, speculation about her life spreading far beyond anyone who knew her, the aftermath of crisis becoming public spectacle.
