Parents warned again over kids being tricked into watching Ronnie McNutt video that’s still being reuploaded




Cruel online users are tricking children into watching the graphic suicide footage of an American man by posting it under misleading titles or within kids content, the Mirror reports.

On August 31st Iraq war veteran Ronnie McNutt shot himself in the head at his home in Mississippi while livestreaming on Facebook. The graphic video stayed on the site for two hours, giving time for countless users to download it.

One Twitter user said the video had ‘traumatised’ her 10 year old child when they were led to it from a normal video. A Scottish mother told the BBC her teenage daughter had been left crying and almost sick after seeing the footage.
