Blue Whale game is a twisted suicide\u00a0challenge perpetrated via social media where vulnerable teenagers are goaded to take their own lives.<\/p>\n
This horrifying game has been linked to more than 100 suicides across the world, and the Dubai Police now fear that it might just have come to the emirate.<\/p>\n
A recent case of suicides by two\u00a0Filipino students, a girl and a boy aged 15 and 16, have left the police baffled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The teenagers died after allegedly committing suicide a day apart. According to the Dubai police, both the students talked about committing suicides on their social media accounts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This is probably the reason why\u00a0sources are linking the death of the second teenager to the Blue Whale suicide challenge. Police, however, has yet to confirm this.<\/p>\n
