A concerned party called the police to report that one of his friends, a high school senior, had made several dark posts on social media that the reporting party felt were indicative of suicide. Officers searched several databases and found phone numbers and addresses for the at-risk party and his parents. Calls were placed and returned, in which the investigating officer learned that the teen was with his mother and that he was safe and in no imminent danger and was already receiving treatment. The officer provided his contact information to the parent and the child if they ever needed additional support or help. The school SRO was notified. No further action was required.
