As 15-year-old Robyn Nixon lay dying on the pavement after jumping from the top of a multi-story car park, some callous bystanders took photographs of her on their cellphones. The British teen made the decision to take her own life after being excluded from a group of friends and breaking up with her boyfriend days before. The coroner who handled the case praised some passers-by who tried to help, but blasted others for their ghoulish behavior.

"This was a child's life and you were taking photos on your mobile phones," he said. "I'm sorry, but I think that is horrid and the people who did that ought to be ashamed of themselves." Read the full article at Sky News. (More cellphones stories.)
