for psychiatric help. I have posted about him before on here. He is in a depression and won't work. He says he isn't able to work because his mind won't let him. As a result of not working he is broke. Duh! See until they divorced this hear my mom was the breadwinner and he never HAD to work. Well I have told him over and over daddy you need to go to work. He won't. Instead he calls my mom constantly, crying and begging for money (they are divorced). He wants her to pay his bills for him. If she comes to my house he will call over to my house every 10 minutes. If she hangs up on him he keeps calling and we just have to not answer it. He calls her all day everyday on her cell and at home. I mean every 15 minutes to an hour. She has to turn off her phone. When she does talk to him like at my house she talked to him the first time he called he cries and says that he is going to go to the funeral home and pay to have himself cremated and kill himself after the holidays. He has threatened suicide before. When he said those things mama said look he is donig this for attention to scare me into giving in to him. I said mama you need to tell him that if he is that bad off you are going to have to commit him. He needs help. So she told him she said if you tell me you are going to kill yourself I am going to have you commited for psychiatric help. He said oh no you're not. I just won't tell you anymore. He comes to my house today crying and saying he is broke. I said daddy go to work. He has a dump truck and people have been calling trying to get him to come haul some dirt and he won't go do it. I said the only way to not be broke is to work and make some money. Everybody can't give it to you. Then he says I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to live. I am at a loss. He won't go to the doctor. What do you do with someone in this shape? I don't know what to do. This is putting a very big stress on me and I don't know what I can do. I can't afford to help him financially, and I feel like he won't help himself. Someone please tell me, what do I do?

The family of this young man who committed this act should also be....
included in the thoughts and prayers along with those lost yesterday. Imagine the grief and sorrow they must be feeling. They too are the innocent in this.
Guess it was not committed on his part
