As of 2019, in the US, suicide has become the second leading cause of death among children aged 10 to 19, and the COVID-19 pandemic is not helping, so today, more than ever, it is necessary to ensure the mental health of this group, who daily face the ravages of a changing world.
In light of this, and with the goal of helping people more easily detect warning signs of a possible suicide, a family from Anaheim shared their story, where they describe the loss of their 14-year-old son.
Californians Adriana and Rodney Moore never imagined that their 14-year-old son would take his own life, as the young man was in good health, was very social, active, adored animals and loved to play his saxophone, according to NBC Bay Area.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed everything. Isolation and distance learning caused Rodney Moore Jr.'s grades to drop. The young man slowly lost hope when he was unable to return to in-person classes this month.
