Teen medium made suicide pact with friends

If you have read the newspaper during the past few days, you would have come across an article about a teenage self-profressed Taoist medium who made a suicide pact with a few of his friends and his younger brother.
6-year old Ku-Witaya convinced six of his friends and his younger brother to enter into a suicide pact with him. He said that they had to die to become slayers and kill demons in the world. He also told them of a "Third World War". According to a witness, 16, Sia Chan Hong, 16, was the most passionate about the suicide pact while Witaya was unwavering. Out of the the group, only Chan Hong and Witaya jumped in the end. One of them backed out on the night they met while the others backed out on seeing Chan Hong moaning and groaning after jumping.
In my opinion, what they did was extremely foolish. To listen to a friend and believe him is okay but to commit suicide is extremely crazy. I myself am a Christian and I have talked to a few of my friends about Christianity but I will never put them in any life-threatening situation or ask them to take their own lives! It was really saddening to know about this incident.
