Death-predicting website horrifies parents

But the Grim Reaper's 'to do' list is a big hit with the kids...

NEWS Parents in South America are demanding the closure of a website which offers users an insight into the date and manner of their own deaths. The Spanish-run site has proved popular with South American teenagers but has caused controversy among parents after their children were given disturbing predictions, including being told they would commit suicide or die at the hands of a psychopath. A Chilean newspaper reported that one 14-year-old was told she would die in 2018 by slashing her wrists in front of a mirror. The website forecasts deaths based on users' responses to 23 questions such as driving habits, ownership of fire arms and mental health status. The Spanish web designers behind the site, Sycn Internaiment, claim the site offers accurate responses as long as users provide truthful answers to the questions.
