My niece is a hero
So many suicides lately, and attempted ones too. My niece in Northern Ontario just saved a friend of hers from commiting suicide only a few days ago. The kid's parents were here in Winnipeg and away from home so he (13 yrs old) took some of his mom's prescription whatever pills, and was going to fill the tub with water and get in and drop his ghetto blaster in it.
He was, however, emailing with my niece, and told her about his plans. She imediately informed my brother (her dad) which prompted him to call 9-1-1, and the cops & Co. got there just in time to save the kid.
It was reported later that he was about 25 mins away from being dead from the pills he took.
I have no idea why the kid wanted to kill himself but there are obviously problems in his life that maybe the parents ought to wake up about and not leave him at home alone anymore.
