After some review of these comments I decided to go to the horse’s mouth, the director of the suicide prevention agency at Pine Ridge. The statistics for the time period between Dec 1 and April 15 are as follows:

9 completions (deaths)
114 attempts
173 ideations (expression of intent and plans to take one’s life)

To anyone associated with suicide prevention, they would know that these statistics do not overlap, therefore, the number of 200 is clearly under-reported. BTW at least two of these completions were 5th and 6th graders from the same school.

In reply to Sara Crewe and Becky. I'm praying for you that God Almighty raise a group of intercessors for all protection. This will now cease in name of Jesus... I drive back evil darkness to dry desolate pit.

I am sending prayers and white light to blessand keep the people if Pibe Ridge. I know that good is greater than evil, and thst what is in darkness must come to the light. Rebuke the shadow people who are caysing harm to those who are presently weak. As more people pray the battle will be won for God’s glory. I shared in FACEBOOK, as I am on a few spuritual sites. Only whte light and pisitive energy can remain. May God bless and keep the Lakota peopke and their youth. May they hsve high hopes for their futures.

I am not Christian, nor of any other faith, rather I am Spiritual. My thoughts are with these people – may they start to heal. Love and hugs from Australia.

In reply to D. Merrifield. 200 ATTEMPTED suicides. I'm sorry you feel like we've sensationalize this, but the truth is more than 200 are reported to have ATTEMPTED suicide. These numbers were confirmed by people who work there and Ron Hutchcraft.
