This is heartbreaking. Thank you for sharing, Kevin.
You are welcome Tess. Kevin
Very sad indeed…
Thanks for your comment Tori. This is obviously a significant social problem which requires action. Kevin
I quite agree!
This is really sad!
Yes, it is heart rending. I was unaware of the charity offering help and support to the children of alcoholics until I read this story. Its a terrible problem but good to know the charity exists to help children in that position.
This article is so upsetting to me. However, it is important to know that our children are dealing with things that may be outside of our immediate awareness. Thanks!
Thank you for your comment. You make a good point about there being things going on in children’s lives of which their parents are unaware. Certainly not all children report being bullied and there are parents who have little (if any) knowledge as regards their children’s online activities.
sad…
Thanks for your comment. Yes it is sad.
