The Independent, UK is reporting that a 12-year-old Russian girl took her own life after her parents discovered she had been watching pornography.
Simply called Dasha L by police, the girl, according to the report, allegedly leapt from the window of the 14th floor family flat in St Petersburg following an argument with her parents about what they had found on her personal computer.
The report further quoted Life News as saying that the family, a “well-to-do” one, had not been involved with the police before.
A police official told the Russian news site: “This is a well-to-do family.”
“There is an ongoing investigation. We aren’t excluding the possibility of bringing up charges on inciting a suicide,” they added.
The report said in November 2012, Russia’s latest internet censorship law came into effect, adopting harsh rules on the distribution of ‘harmful material’ including pornography, to minors.
