[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 415071, member: 1514"] I agree with everyone else on this one. Your son is at a very high risk for harming himself right now. This is not the time to wait. The police and the ambulance will come and treat him well but they will take him to the hospital no matter what he wishes. Make sure you can print out his grades from before the suicide to after it to show his decline. Do you have any other witnesses or family members who can help to verify this behavior? That would be good too. Even if you could get the school to write you up some letters to bring with you to the hospital it would be helpful. The more ammo you have to show his downward spiral the more help he can get. At first they will put him on a 72 hour hold but you really want them to extend that longer by getting him before a judge to commit him for longer if he decides to fight it. My son never fought it because he knew I was doing the best for him but some kids will fight so you need to be prepared with all your ammo to show the judge just how sick he is. Of course, the doctors at the hospital will be there to help too. I wish you the best but I would be on that phone by day break tomorrow morning. He should be on his way to the ER as soon as you can possibly get him there. Every minute counts right now. [/QUOTE]
