I WAS reading about the girl who lost her legs on the railway line and the girl who jumped off the motorway bridge.

It seems to me they are crying out for help, but no one seems to hear or care.

I was in the same position in May with my middle son, who has a drink problem and a chemical defect in the brain.

He tried to take his life ten or 12 years ago. We had trouble getting him help but we got him into the department of pyschiatry.

In May I tried again there he was out of the area, then Moorgreen told his doctor they couldn't take him, because he had a drink problem. He felt nobody cared, so he took an overdose.

I think in this day and age there is nothing out there immediately for those who are desparate. No wonder there is so many people committing suicide.

I know if they want to die they will find a way, but for some it is a cry for help.

I feel sorry for families who are left behind to cope with it.
