Disheartening - I just saw this news item headlined on Drudge.
There's been an epidemic of suicide hangings in Bridgend, South Wales.
Here's ThisIsLondon's headline: Number of young people found hanged in 'suicide cult town' rises to 13.
Most appear to be connected to each other through links such as online social networks. All apparently have hung themselves.
"I am very concerned," he said [coroner Philip Walters]. "It is very important that we get to grips with the situation.
Victim: Natasha Randall was found hanged last week. At least 12 others youngsters from Bridgend have died in the same way within the past year
"There are 12 young men and one young woman involved and all were found hanged in the area in the last year."
It's terribly sad. From what I can read these young people had a lot to live for. It's obvious that friends and family who loved them are distraught and confused as to why they would do such a thing.
It's just mind blowing.
When I see things like this becoming more and more frequent I can't help but wonder if it isn't a sign that the days are growing shorter till the Second Coming of Christ.
