Demi Moore Saves Suicidal Woman’s Life Via Twitter

Today, Demi Moore helped to save a suicidal woman via Twitter.

For the few of you who don’t already know, Twitter is a social network in which users can follow updates on friends, celebrities, and strangers alike. Some well known users include Sean “Diddy” Combs, Tina Fey, Perez Hilton, and Satan, who answer the age old question, “What are you doing?”. Users are invited to twitter about details of their everyday life, updating profiles to share how a waxing appointment went, what kind of cigarettes they bought at the bodega or who they’re having lunch with.

A distressed woman, known on Twitter as Sandieguy, chose to update her followers with her suicide plans. After a long series of updates such as,  “hurting”, “does anyone care?”, and “thinking about killing myself”, Sandiguy sent a message to Moore which read, “getting a knife, a big one that is sharp. Going to cut my arm down the whole arm so it doesn’t waste time”.

Out of 383,047 followers, Moore saw Sandieguy’s message and responded by saying, “hope you are joking”, and later added “Everyone I was very torn about responding or retweeting that woman’s post but felt uncomfortable just letting it go”.

Moore’s update sparked concern as her followers flooded the San Jose Police Department reporting SandieGuy’s threat. When police intervened they found SandieGuy unharmed. Moore later wrote, “Today is a prime example of the power of collective consciousness and our incredible ability to create change when we come together!”
