Poor kid…heart goes out to the family of this horrible tragedy.
“Permenant Solution to a temporary problem” kids. Stay strong and talk to someone, you would be surprised how many have the same issues and can show you how to cope.

This is so sad, I’ve been in.his shoes at 13 but his had his own plans for me, thankfully. Children need to know from the start that they have a safe place always. At home, at school and in their own neighborhood. STOP TALKING ABOUT IT PARENTS…LETS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I HURT MY MOTHER TO THE CORE AND I WILL NEVER THINK THAT’S THE WAY OUT AGAIN. IT STARTS WITH COMMUNICATION AT HOME. NO CHILD SHOULF FEEL AS IF THEY HAVE NOBODY TO TELL. MY HEART IS WITH THIS FAMILY???

We have set up a gofundme account to help off set funeral expenses for the family. This is a great way to help if your heart needs to but just not sure how to.
