I don't know what is ASH (alt.suicide.holiday) today, but I was a regular there for a year or so (years ago). The group does not promotes suicide but it sees suicide as an alcceptable choice and if you are willing to commit suicide you will find a fact file there (sort of "how to").
But the group provides also a place to talk about depressions and suicidal thoughts without the usual shallow responses you get from the "shiny happy people". I still see it as a very useful group.
In my opinion if the Parents failed to realise the condition of their daughter they have no right to blame the group, thats too easy.

Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
