Suicide attempt by ‘pressured’ teen under investigation; parents urged to seek professional help for troubled children

The attempted suicide of an early-teen is under investigation by
officers from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), a
credible source reports, adding that parents need to seek
professional help for their troubled children.
 
According to reports, a doctor at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre
notified the Police that a 14-year-old boy had ingested poison and
was in a critical condition.
 
This incident reportedly occurred at about 11:45 a.m. on February
16 in Bathlodge.
 
Sources say the teenager had complained of pains about the body
and was rushed to the hospital by his father, who later found out
that the boy had swallowed rat poison.
  
Allegedly, the boy had consumed the poison at about 10:30 p.m. on
Friday night because – as he reportedly revealed – he had been
feeling pressured at home and at school.
 
It is alleged that he had been sent home from school after being
caught smoking cigarettes and vaping on the compound.
 
And further reports say that – only a half-hour before the teen
ingested the substance – his father had spoken to him about doing
better in school.
 
Then, at about 6:20 a.m. the following day, February 17, the father
went to his son’s room and discovered the boy on the floor, covered
in his own faeces and frothing at the mouth.

 
The parent immediately transported him to the hospital, where he
was treated by doctors in the Emergency Room and later admitted
to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
 
Officers reportedly found the poison the teenager had ingested and
took it into custody for further investigation purposes.
Reports say the young man was living with his father when he
attempted to end his life. However, his mother was notified about
the incident after he was taken to the hospital.
 
At this point, the source tells REAL News, God is the only way to
reclaim the Nation’s youth from the devil, who appears to have a
strong hold on the young generation.
 
What men think they can do does not appear to be working, she
says. But the teachings of God will never fall away.
