CatherineM Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 One of our charges attempted suicide this morning. He ran out of the building into traffic and was hit by a car. He destroyed the windshield but wasn't seriously hurt, so started jumping up and down on the car hood. The police aren't pressing charges so I get to go pick him up. I think he should stay but they are turning him loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 This was all because he broke up with his girlfriend. The police didn't tell the ER that it was a suicide attempt because they would have to babysit him in the waiting room. Just another throw away kid not worth the system's time. This is a kid who's dad has been in a wheelchair for six years after his head got caved half in on the job. He has been supporting his dad and sisters since he was 13. His dad was put into a nursing home a couple of weeks ago so he had no where to live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Catherine, you are our hands as you hold him, letting him know he is NOT trash. Not a throw-away. Holding you all in a loving embrace of prayer.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Just had a long talk to him about coming to talk to me first. He said he didn't want to wake me up. I said it was better to wake me up before blood than after. I showed him the scars on my knuckles from hitting stuff when I was his age. He thought that was hilarious.

Wel,, at least he's considerate of you. Maybe you can build on that? Prayers for everyone - including the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I don't think he was being considerate. I'm told I'm scary. I'm built like a retired football player gone to seed, and have a voice like Bea Arthur and know how to use it. The metal crutches don't help.
