바카라 게임 웹사이트Our worst nightmare바카라 게임 웹사이트: Parents speak out after Boone County students die by suicide
In the last two months, Boone County has been devastated by students dying by suicide. Five kids have died, and two others have attempted suicide.
In the wake of those tragedies, the mothers of three of the teenagers sat down with 바카라게임바카라 게임 웹사이트s Sheree Paolello in hopes of saving someone else.
All three mothers have a different story, but it ends the same way, with a pain that most of us can바카라 게임 웹사이트t imagine and never want to.
바카라 게임 웹사이트We have lived our worst nightmare,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Amber Murphy said.
Murphy, Rebecca Malin and Jamiee Seitz all lost a child from suicide just a few weeks apart.
Seitz바카라 게임 웹사이트s daughter Audree just turned 13. Her grades were good, and she loved music and hanging out with her mom.
Seitz knew Audree didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t have a lot of friends at school.
"I don't think she ever found somebody like her, so her friendships at school didn't last very long,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Seitz said.
Audree바카라 게임 웹사이트s 13th birthday party was another social disappointment.
바카라 게임 웹사이트There were no kids that came, but I was like, 'It's OK,'바카라 게임 웹사이트 Seitz said.
Seitz chalked it up to typical teenagers and the struggles of junior high school. But everything changed on Dec. 2.
바카라 게임 웹사이트And he's like, 'Call 911,'바카라 게임 웹사이트 Seitz said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I바카라 게임 웹사이트m like, 'What's going on?' I said, 'Did someone break in?' He said, 'No.' I said, 'Is it Audree?' He said, 'Yes.'"
The hardest part is that nothing seemed out of the ordinary, not even in the hours before Audree died.
바카라 게임 웹사이트She ate dinner, she took a shower, she laid out her school clothes for the next day,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Seitz said.
Twelve days later, Braden Malin made the same choice that couldn바카라 게임 웹사이트t be undone. He was just 17 and playing the sport he loved in his senior year.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Literally, we had no signs,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Malin said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트He was pretty much the same Braden.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Off the field, he was known as "B-Malin," always wearing his white Cooper baseball hat and designer gym shoes.
바카라 게임 웹사이트He was somebody that always listened to other kids, he gave the best hugs, and he was a big jokester,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Malin said.
Malin said she remembers the last time she saw him alive. They had plans to make chocolate-covered Oreos for his grade school teachers.
바카라 게임 웹사이트I came home, went to get him up and ready for dinner, and he was gone,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Malin said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트He left us a note that said that he loved us, it wasn't our fault, we were great parents. He knew that he could talk to us, but he didn't want to burden us.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Three weeks later, on New Year바카라 게임 웹사이트s Eve, another family was shattered.
Cameron Murphy was a sophomore who was just learning how to drive. He loved gaming, would beat all his friends in the games and family and never wanted to put a book down.
바카라 게임 웹사이트Cameron was probably, in a mother바카라 게임 웹사이트s eyes, the biggest heart possible. He was always willing to help, always just went with the flow,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Murphy said.
There are still so many questions, including why, if there were warning signs and was there something that somebody could have seen?
All three of these mothers are now suffering in silence.
바카라 게임 웹사이트This is not OK. My daughter's gone, and I don't know what to do, but I do know something has to be done,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Seitz said.
Their message now is that the only reason they바카라 게임 웹사이트re reliving their nightmare is to break the stigma of suicide and do something about it.
바카라 게임 웹사이트If this can save just one child or one family to not feel the devastation that we have to walk through, that바카라 게임 웹사이트s what it is all about,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Murphy said.
The three mothers are all coping in different ways.
For Malin, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s a sign from above that brings her peace. She believes an image caught on her doorbell camera shows the moment her son went to heaven.
Because of these mothers speaking up, Boone County has expanded a task force to help students.
But these mothers want a seat at the table, and they want to help develop programs so that kids and parents are better informed and aren바카라 게임 웹사이트t afraid to talk about mental health.
They also want help from lawmakers when it comes to what kids are exposed to online and on their phones.
