What's Going On?

[Barsel]

On Sunday a young woman 'fell' from a bridge over the M60 and yesterday a young man did the same.
It seems to be happening quite a lot recently so I just wanted to say, if you are about to drive under a bridge, be aware of anyone that is on the bridge at the time.
This isn't just devastating for the friends and family of the victim, it's also heart breaking for those who witness it or are involved in it.
R.I.P to both these people.

“Fell”? :(

So tragic, there has been a rise in mental health deterioration recently, especially in young people.

There is help out there, if only some would reach out for it.

RIP

Yes very sad indeed.... and yes the OP is right traumatising for the witnesses too

Cahms and the adult equivalent are now under massive strain.

Side effects of lockdown I'm afraid.

eve I think they have to say fell unless they get footage of that person jumping.

Ah true barsel ...yes i guess that makes sense From a legality point.

Youngmafbog -cahms have been at breaking point for years. Covid just making it deteriorate even further. Very worrying ....
