Colorado’s Children’s Hospital declares a mental health crisis of attempted suicides. Suicide attempts are rising and emergency room visits for mental health crises were up 90% last month.
Alcohol and drug abuse and suicides are at emergency levels. All of their beds are full and parents are forced to send their children out of state.
The top overall reason children arrive in the emergency department is a suicide attempt. And on any given day, 12 to 24 children are waiting for an in-patient psychiatric bed to become available.
They can’t handle the demand.
Children’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. David Brumbaugh, who has practiced medicine for more than 20 years, said that in the last 15 months he has seen a demand in children’s mental health care like nothing he’s ever experienced. Brumbaugh began to cry as he spoke of a dad whose 9th-grade son recently tried to kill himself after not making the baseball team near the close of an isolating first year of high school.
The boy is the same age as Brumbaugh’s son, who also plays baseball.
“Our kids have run out of resilience,” the doctor said. “Their tank is empty.” Then he apologized for crying: “I’m sorry, but this is what we are feeling as caregivers every day.”
Nice job by the Democrat politicians, Randi Weingarten, and Dr. Fauci and his groupies who shut down the schools unnecessarily. They sacrificed the children for their ideology. They’re a disgrace.
You’re voting for these people, Colorado.
The lock down had nothing to do with science. These colorado pols are towing a line. The gov has no interest in what else exists outside boulder colorado. The gov took the mask like a bdsm master. Too many took the opportunity to seize what little power they ever had over their neighbors and made it much worse. These kinds of people don’t care what so ever about children. They are beholden to the Chinese as is almost every major corporation or university in colorado. We know what the CCP thinks of us. We can see that, while Bill and Melinda at least said they didn’t think through the ramifications of the lockdown on mom and pop downtown in spite of all that supposed economic insight this guy has? So colorado is taken over by these fascist big box stores by this means too. MASKS were warned about from the beginning! But boulder ya know is so much more intelligent (check the wolf reintroduction only the rural will cope with) and such than the rest of the state where the gov is much less welcome or ‘obeyed.’ Oh yeah, they know what to do with those other people’s children for sure.
You’re voting for these people, Colorado.
While there are many, I don’t believe the true Coloradan votes for the looney Biden and the leftist loons running Colorado. We must remember Colorado has been Californicated and they’re definitely the ones lousing things up.
Commierado is long gone and driving there is beyond dangerous with all the dopery.
Once in the I-25 corridor between Denver and CO Springs there was a comrade in pajamas at noon completely stopped in the middle lane.
After a state trooper was killed by a careless motorist they finally widened the lanes in the corridor.
The elites will love this news with high fives and cheers by the champagne fountain.
The long for the day when we will be off of their playground earth.
