You are incorrect, and you are drastically stretching the written word of the article you posted to make it fit your point.
Manslaughter DOES mean YOU killed the person, through negligent action or inaction. Manslaughter is doing or not doing something that results in the death of another human being. You cannot MAKE a person kill themselves. You also cannot be negligent for lack of psychological support.
Suicide, by definition, is a person killing themselves. There can be no negligence by another person in suicide, because it involves no other people. Even if a crowd is watching on the internet. There is no such thing as a layperson failing to give psychological counseling.
At best, there are some places that have "samaritan" laws that make it punishable to witness a crime and not report it. However, this would only apply after it was discovered he was definitely killing himself, and someone was already saying to call the police by that time. These are normally a fine or very low "maximum" jail time.
The bottom line is, it is their choice, and no one else's.
