No, I don't agree with this. Pushing an impressionable teenager into hurting themselves through emotional manipulation is what this woman did. She all but supplied the rope for that child to kill herself with. Whether she was responsible for the action or not she absolutely created the situation where it happened. I cannot in any way agree that what she did wasn't the same as murder.
