So sad...
i know. i've been following that. atleast he (the boy) died at home with his parents who obviously loved him. it's a shame they took their own lives too

It's a shame they didn't have anyone else to love enough to get them through. If he was their life, then when he was gone they had nothing else to live for.
Too much love will kill you,
just as sure as non at all.

hmmmmmmmm how to word this correctly... :chin:
it's a shame the NHS staff are over worked and under paid. i think this could have been avoided if the nurses/staff had time to help the parents with counselling etc. true they couldn't save the boys life but surely the parents could have been saved. im not saying the staff failed the parents more that the NHS did as they should have recognised the risks and supported them more

I understand what you're saying, but I don't believe we could have a system where nobody could top themselves. Even if there was one carer per person, it could still happen.
The circumstances of this case make it newsworthy, but there are lots of suicides all the time that go unreported. Each one leaves devastation all around them.
I don't claim to have any solution, as I suspect there probably isn't one.
In 2007 there were 5,377 adult suicides in the UK - more than 14 per day.

as doofer pointed out, if someone wants to do it, they will, and it's extremely hard to stop them, i've had a bloke try to strangle himself with underwear, what do i do? remove all his clothing? then i have his legal rep screaming human rights....how about the young lady brought in, who had secreted a piece of glass wrapped in tissue inside herself, then proceeded to open up her arms? does every person coming in have to be intimately searched on that basis? from what i have gathered so far, no one has failed these people, and the choice was one they made for themselves, for what ever reason, either made public, o private, they went through with it. to search for blame where none exists smacks of pure ambulance chasing.
that is truely a sad story.
im not saying onene supervision. i meant counselling and support. where parents lose an only child and have that child die in their arms at such a young age at home there must be some kind of support system to help them?
some people you have no control over - i completely agree. just part of me feels this one situation might have been slightly more preventable.

i saw this on the news last night. I cant imagine the state of mind of the parents and how you both would come to that agreement to kill yourselves.
If the child died on friday then I find it odd that they still had his body on monday? WOuldnt it have been removed over the weekend?
Its a really sad story

Think when you have kids yourself you'll be able to understand how they feel. My kids are my life.
Some people are consumed by their grief, some channel it into running support groups for others. I never want to find out which way I'd go.
Not having seen my son who turns 3 next month for nearly 20 months has changed my life and made me often think what I live for or why I want to get up another day again. I do well understand their reasoning. In my case it is only that I can't see my son because I still do not know for sure where he lives. But at least he is alive.
Their son isn't anymore and will never come back. Their way out of the situation seems to be strange for us. But we never have been in theri shoes with their feelings.
And I hope that no one will have to see that with their children.
