Boy, 12, pleads with his MOM to get off rail tracks seconds before she is killed

I have been through alot in my life. I have often not wanted to live and go through all of the bad things anymore also. I have not tried to take my life though. I just try to work through it and pray to God to help me get through things. I always manage to come through somehow with his help. Prayer goes a long ways even when you think it won't or doesn't.

That poor poor boy, he will have to live with seeing this for the rest of his life. He will feel like it is his fault this happened to his mother. I do hope he is getting counseling for this. There is NO problem too big that we have to take our own life. My nephews father took his own life, & my nephew has nightmares constantly cause he couldn't help daddy with his problems. And he is only 9 year's old. My heart goes out to these children....Lori

I have just read this story and what a sad sad thing to happen, I was nearly crying when I read it. That poor boy how can he ever get over seeing something like that happen to his Mum. My heart goes out to them all it really does I just wish that she could have climbed out of the way in time.

As I read this discussion I was hit hard just from the thought that she was walking off the tracks but didn't notice the other train coming. I now the young man was so hurt that he say that and tried to stop what happened. Now he will feel that to some degree that he was the cause of her getting hit by the train. Then in a way he saved her life and then fate it was taken anyway. I know that really was a shocker and words can't heal wounds like that. Have a good one.

This is really sad. Although in life we all have problems. I have thought of killing myself when I was a teenager. Now I know I was crazy to think that way. Espically after finding out that I have multiple sclrosis now that I am a adult. It caused me to have a lot of problems at first . God has helped me through a lot of problems though that I have dealt with. You are right about not expecting life to always be smooth. At the same time we are all born for a reason.

What a terrible story. The poor boy, and his sisters. Too bad she didn't have someone to confide in about her troubles. If you care about someone you do not committ suicide, you think about how this is going to affect the ones you leave behind.
We all have problems, I am going through something right now, and have no idea how I'm going to make it, but suicide would be the last thing on my mind.
God will not put more on you than you can bear, and you just have to be patient and wait, and it soon will pass.
It's sad to say, but the way things are going on in this country economically, there may be more stories like this. SO SAD

Hello saivenkaat802003,

What a crying shame to have happened and also for the boy as it will stay with him for the rest of his life and that will be another problem that he will carry its a circle. I agree with you, if people make problem for you, you get out and you don't have to creat your own problems and if you do why can.t you sort it out? there must have something that she couldn' handle because some people are very weak and its not their fault, but my heart goes to this boy.

Suicide is a cowards way out! I know people get down and depressed, but if you are contemplating suicide you need to think of the people you are leaving behind. They will be affected in so many ways. Life is not a bed of roses. Problems come and go. I believe that if you see a counselor or at least talk to someone and pray to the Lord that things will work out.

That poor boy, I feel so sorry for him to have seen this happen to his mother. I hope he gets counseling, such an awful thing for him to see.

Hi saivenkaat802003! Oh that is sad! My heart is crying for that boy. It is heartbreaking to hear stories like this. I do agree with you that expecting life to run smooth always and with no hurdles is absurd. Although, I wish for that most of the time. I guess people react differently when confronted with problems, trials and frustrations. Some will face the problem head-on and look for solutions and will never stop until they find ways how to resolve it and others just simply give up. And to those who simply give up, I pray that someone or something can lift them up in their time of weakness. This is really sad and I just hope and pray that the boy will recover from the trauma of seeing her mother die that way.
Take care and God Bless!
