Tip of the Month for Parents: What factors place students at risk of suicide?Researchers have attempted to identify situations, experiences, or characteristics that contribute to the likelihood that a child will complete a suicide. When a child has more than one of these factors, the risk of suicide is increased. In addition to mental illness and behavior disorders, suicide has been associated with demographic factors, such as being between the ages of 15 and 24, being white or male, or having a history of attempted suicide. Psychosocial conditions, such as parental loss, family disruption, exposure to suicide, unwanted pregnancy, and particularly, having a relative who has committed suicide are additional factors. Certain biological conditions have also been associated with suicide; these include prenatal factors, decreases in levels of serotonin, and decreases in the secretion of growth hormone, among others. If you
believe your child is suicidal, get help

The
Dept of Ed has released information for the 2004 
May 20, 2004 the FBI released a memo to law enforcement agencies
warning them to be alert for "possible" suicide bombers in
the US. Agencies were told to look for people in bulky jackets on
warm days, smelling of chemicals or trailing wires. The FBI went on
to warn law enforcement that even if they shot a bomber, the danger
was not over as the detonator may activate when the person's grip relaxes.
Among other disguises mentioned was a woman who might appear to be
pregnant, but the bulging stomach could actually be explosives.
Threat analyses have expressed surprise at the lack of suicide
attacks thus far inside the US as there are a number of known
extremists living here. 
The
2003-2004 school year looks to be the
deadliest in many years. Current assessments reveal as many
as 48 school related violent deaths in the period August
through June. These figures are shocking. These are only the
deaths in the United States. When the figures for violent
injuries short of death and the figures from outside the US
are calculated, this is indeed a shocking trend. 
"We were on our own for 3 1/2 hours. It is a good thing that we had just
had a practice drill on our Crisis Plan." These words were spoken to the
Directors at Keys by a Principal whose school was a short distance
from a chemical plant that caught fire and exploded. In almost every
Crisis Plan reviewed by the staff at Keys, emergency notification
is made to first responders with the assumption that they will take care
of everything after that. In the case here, as is often the case, the
emergency for the school was overshadowed by the the emergency at the
plant and on the major highways around it. The phone system was overloaded
immediately and all the 2-way radio channels were full of excited people.
This one school was on its own until the primary emergency abated enough
for them get some help. Is your school prepared to lock-down and
Mark
these on your calendar and register today or call or email to set
up a training at your school or in your community.
