Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Terry, The original New Testament was in Greek. The work " pharmakia " was translated into English as " sorceries " or " witchcraft " but the word " pharmakia " really meant " drug use " , especially mind altering drugs ie " magical potions " . I am stunned and upset for the children and everyone involved. this is happening across the world. I would make sure that everyone knows the antidepressant connection to this. Even if it's a simple " it's those $ & #*@ drugs! " God Bless, Jim Now we have heard from a friend of ours (the 14-year old girl's uncle) that when the police were able to gain access to her computer (it was on but locked when they found her) that she had left a suicide note. (She was on an AD for anxiety attacks.) The police also found the boy's suicide note when they searched his room after his arrest. Turns out these kids had been seeing each other behind their parents' backs and putting up an agreed upon front of hating each other in front of people at school - even to the point of him saying " I'll kill you " to her. (What the ????) No one knew except for their best friends - the other boy and a girl from a nearby town - who told police about their relationship. He and his friend had walked to Beth's house after school, as they often did according to the boys. This time the " boyfriend " asked the friend not to go inside with him. The friend hung around outside in the woods near the house because he thought something was weird. The " couple " had agreed to hang themselves in her room together but he " chickened out " as he told police after they confronted him with the notes. Up to that point, he had been willing to take the rap for her murder. They say he hadn't uttered one word from the time of his arrest until they showed him the notes. He says that when he got there she asked for his shoelace and told him to use the other lace to hang himself. (That way they would die exactly alike.) He says she was quicker than him because he was so nervous and that she started to choke while he was still attaching his " rope " to the other bedpost; he freaked out and called from her window to his friend to come help him because Beth was dyi! ng. The friend ran away. The 1st boy got mad, ran out of the house and chased his friend down; they got in a fight and that's how the 2nd kid got a black eye. The friend talked the boyfriend into running away because the cops would blame them for her death. Their best friends swear they didn't know of the couple's plan; just that they knew the couple wanted to be together no matter what but didn't think her parents would allow it. They are talking about still charging both boys, though they haven't said with what crimes. The only good thing to come out of this is that the threat the 2nd boy had made against another girl has come to light (the bubble in the vein plan). But to what end? They'll charge him with terroristic threatening or some such and never even consider the drugs he's on. And, now what?!?!?! We'll attend her funeral tomorrow. We'll offer support as fellow surviving parents of a suicide victim. We'll offer to try to help them deal with this as we have had to deal with B.J.'s death. But after that, what if they don't call us? How and when would it be appropriate to contact them and try to give them info? We don't know them personally...their kids are much younger than ours. We know Beth's uncle (her mother's brother) pretty well. We have known him for years as he was best friends with my husband's younger brothers in school and he has worked for my husband on and off over the years. I guess we'll try to get the information to him and let him figure out what, whether and when to tell his sister. Knowing what we know, is that enough? Should we contact the boys' parents about these drugs? I am so depressed and upset about this. I'd really like some feedback from you guys. It's just horrible.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Terry, The original New Testament was in Greek. The work " pharmakia " was translated into English as " sorceries " or " witchcraft " but the word " pharmakia " really meant " drug use " , especially mind altering drugs ie " magical potions " . I am stunned and upset for the children and everyone involved. this is happening across the world. I would make sure that everyone knows the antidepressant connection to this. Even if it's a simple " it's those $ & #*@ drugs! " God Bless, Jim Now we have heard from a friend of ours (the 14-year old girl's uncle) that when the police were able to gain access to her computer (it was on but locked when they found her) that she had left a suicide note. (She was on an AD for anxiety attacks.) The police also found the boy's suicide note when they searched his room after his arrest. Turns out these kids had been seeing each other behind their parents' backs and putting up an agreed upon front of hating each other in front of people at school - even to the point of him saying " I'll kill you " to her. (What the ????) No one knew except for their best friends - the other boy and a girl from a nearby town - who told police about their relationship.
