A 16 year old boy from Britain, posted a status update on his Facebook Profile which read: “I’m going away to do something I’ve been thinking about for a while then everybody will find out.”
A statement which could have many meanings. This to me would not have occurred to have been a pre-suicide statement, but to one girl who spotted it on the teenagers home page stream and informed her mother about it it did.
Her mum then alerted the police in Maryland US and they passed the news onto an agent within the White House who then quickly contacted the British Embassy in Washington DC.
This message then finally reached the Metropolitan Police , who managed to track down the teenagers house. A total of 5 different authorities were involved.
More from the Telegraph
“By the time he was found the boy had taken an overdose and was slumped on the floor, but they were just in time to get him to hospital and save him.
The Facebook message read: “I’m going away to do something I’ve been thinking about for a while then everybody will find out.”
His parents had been sitting downstairs the whole time, completely unaware of the unfolding drama.”
