WIBTA if I message someone’s mom on Facebook about how her 19yo son posted on his public Snapchat story the date he plans on killing himself? I don’t know this family personally but me and the guy have a snap streak and have chatted before

No, that’s a cry for help. Unfortunately, you don’t know how the parent will respond (not all take it seriously), but whatever you can do to get them connected to resources is important. If the parent won’t, make sure the kid knows about the National suicide hotline and that it’s free.

ALWAYS tell someone if you think someone is going to hurt themselves. I’ve called for wellness checks for my friends on the other side of the US and have zero regrets. I’d rather they not need help and it be there vs need help and it not be there
