Teen suicide dark side of web -president

(ANSA) - Portoferraio, September 17 - Italian President Sergio Mattarella highlighted the "dark side of the web" on Monday when referring to the death of a 14-year-old who hanged himself in his bedroom after viewing an online video on self-asphyxiation as a way to get high.
    Mattarella's comments came at a speech opening the school year in Portoferrario, on the island of Elba.
    "Digital connections are great windows open on the world, and on our times, but there also exists a dark side of the web," Mattarella said.
    "It's not acceptable that a 14-year-old boy dies as a consequence of emulating a perverse game online," he said.
