There is a man who has been updating his blog and his youtube account for 18 days now. He plans to kill himself on day 30. His family has no idea of this.

I found this post when I was working yesterday. I read through it and I read the comments on the blog site and the youtube site. I am disgusted by the human race at this point. No one of all the posters there could say anything except call him a fag, a loser, an attention whore and just urge him to do it now. I brought this thread to the attention of my email support group called “Parents of suicide”. I knew that they would take it very seriously and know the proper way to deal with it.

It broke my heart to see him write that he knew his mother would be ok. I lost it. He is so wrong. His mother will be in a state of permanent agony and he is so lost in himself and his own pain that he has absolutely no idea what anguish he will leave behind if he goes through with this on day 30.

I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try to do something so I asked the support group leader for help and she called the police in Vegas where he is at now. They called her back saying there was nothing they could do because they couldn’t prove he was in Vegas. I said a little prayer for him and luckily about an hour later he posted a new video and he showed himself and the Treasure Island hotel so now there was absolute proof that he was in Vegas.

I called the police right away and let them know about it. They took down all the info I could give them from his video and they said they took it very seriously and they were on it.

Today, the lady from the support group got a call back from them stating that his picture is in the hands of every policeman in Las Vegas. If they see him, he will be taken in.

I think it’s great news but at the same time I wonder why they can’t get his personal info from the website host and do a check to find out which hotel and room he’s staying in. I can’t understand. We shall see how this goes.

Someone told me today “You can’t save the world”. Yes, yes I know but I can sleep at night knowing I tried with just one. My heart bleeds for his mother whether she finds out in time or not. Let’s pray that she does.
