  1. From a person who has struggled with suicidal thoughts for YEARS, I would add these pointers: - Tell them they are needed in your life. - Call and text just to say hello….more than once every three months. - Telling someone who feels worthless that they “can contact you anytime they need help” has an opposite effect. We almost always feel like we need some type of help, so we rationalize why we should not bother others; they don’t want to have me waste their time. Also, if you are interested in helping a friend that seems isolated, why would you require the person who truly needs help to be the one to contact you? - Reach out when they come to mind by sending a text or writing a message to say how important they are. The depressed mind works like waves, sometimes you can bask and relax in them but other times the white caps are knocking you all over the place. So don’t stand on the shoreline and watch the person struggle, instead, jump in and rescue them by pulling them out of the turbulent waters or bounce there with them with a listening ear and NOT advice! Yes, it’s a risk, but you have the necessary emotional tools to pull them back to the shore and to safety.

  2. I am just seeing this report and my heart is extremely heavy. Dear LORD, PLEASE reach this kid!!! God Almighty, show this young boy Yourself and set him free, internally. This kid has been short changed in this life by those who SHOULD have been protecting and guiding him into adulthood. Lord, You are the Father to the fatherless, and you can nurture with a tenderness commonly associated with a mother. Please bring people into his life to mentor him into GREATNESS and break this curse of violence from his life. God, I am saddened by this report…a year AFTER the fact!😥😢😥😢

  3. Good question, where ARE his parents? I don’t know, but I’ll tell you where they should be: LOCKED UP/INCARNATED! This kid is involved in drug sales AND MURDER at 13 YEARS OLD!!! So, we need to really ask who are the TRUE criminals? Those who were his guardians, in my opinion!
