[quote=Anonymous]I have not read through the entire thread, but as the parent of a previously suicidal teen ( 3 years ago), I can say the emotions, while stronger/more intense than what we experience as an adult, are also fleeting; they do not last as long. In adults, getting to the suicidal depressions can take months or more. In kids, who have a feeling of permanence of emotions (how I am feeling now is how I will always feel), they get there quicker. But it passes quicker. That is a long way of saying it may not be a big deal. I would have a long talk with the parents, make sure you have legal rights to authorize medical treatment if required; etc. But the risk of action could be quite low. It is possible the week away from the parents will do him good. [/quote]
