I hope this loads for you; Brownback may have had it scrubbed by now: 17 y.o. suicide in [View all]

Topeka yesterday. She jumped from 25th street overpass into BUSY I 470.

Also resulted in a secondary accident, not sure about those injuries.

Her name is not released, but any high school teacher can tell you that histories of SELF torture and family destruction usually accompany this sort of behavior.

Basically, there are NO services and whatever there is is purely voluntary and custodial, i.e. they can't hold anyone for their own good and they do NO therapy. I also assume that whatever there is left in terms of this kind of "care" will soon go under the knife, to meet Brownback's tax plan, no corporate owner income taxes created a hole in budgets that will require an increase of from 37-40% in revenues elsewhere, sooooooooooooooooo, our newly "elected" Tea Party legislature is forming committees as we speak to further cut budgets.

Rest. IN. Peace, young lady, whoever you were.
