Need advice concerning a young adult who is harming himself... [View all]

[Earth_First]

Once a month or so, I monitor Facebook account just to keep tabs on the current trends in the emotional roller coaster of our daughter's life. Call it intrusive, call it invasion of privacy, I call it parenting.

At any rate, tonight there was a post one hour ago from an young man who posted an image of his wrist covered in razor blade scars and dripping fresh blood from new cuts.

My daughter spoke with him in the past after seeing the scars in the library one day, and discretely informed a faculty member; I asked her about it and she seems to sound like it went nowhere fast.

Unfortunately this young man lives in a broken home with an addict mother and a missing father, this is the root cause of his problems he tells our daughter.

Long story short, this young man has listed his cell phone number on his Facebook account. Do I call someone, an ambulance, the police? Who?

This breaks my heart seeing this and I need to help, but how?

Thanks!
