A threat of suicide and a prayer
This morning, I received a phone call from staff. David is in crisis. It is more than that. Yesterday two young men got into a fight or something, and David decided to get involved. As a result he lost all privileges. Has to spend 20 minutes of every half hour with staff. They usually start their Saturday’s with basketball, which is David’s favorite activity. As a result of the restriction, that was not available. In response to finding this out, David got very upset and said he was going to kill himself. In response, he now spends all of his time with staff. He is under 24 hour observation. He is prone to being searched at any time so that staff can make sure that he doesn’t have anything that can use to hurt himself. At night when he sleeps, he sleeps in the same area where the staff work
