Facebook message saves suicidal boy

[Weaver]

...
Police staff searched electoral roll websites and found eight potential addresses for the teenager and dispatched officers to each one

...

then went through the painful and laborious process of visiting the addresses to find the lad.

It's a painful and laborious process to send our 8 squad cars? Wow, no wonder crime is so rampant.

The facebook communique is just as effective as a phone call left on an answering machine. Not so much sure why the nbeed to report on it arises other than the technology is comparatively new.

I am surprised it made it to the press, for a second their I thought it was going to be morphed into a destructive statement about the interwebz

I registered just to say SeaLab 2021.

I am genuinely fucking impressed
welcome to the forums!

its good to hear positive news

Yea, I was surprised no one else got it. Other then that, I am impressed at the story of someone actually calling the police instead of doing nothing. I have my own opinions on suicide, but I know that they are just that, opinions, so I won't preach.
