Indeed, and wary, too. On a more serious note, my sister found such a community and they helped her to commit suicide. It does happen.
Mathematically, it seems that 99% of peole in these communities must be snuff predators, since everyone who isn't is dead.
It's depressing that internet makes it so easy for a person with a mental disorder to give advice and lure confused teenagers and minors. I wonder if there's anything we can do, short of censoring internet itself.
I don't think there is anything "to do," just accept it as a casualty of life/the freedom of the internet.
