as sweet as this is, you should really not be posting this online for your kids sake!

This child needs more than a text and a phone call. Emergency rooms are open in the wee hours of the morning.

Why does a preteen have a phone?

You are absolutely right and I would be willing to bet a large factor of his/her mental health issues stem from that.

...who puts private messages of a sensitive nature on Reddit. Yeah great parenting. People are so desperate for social media clout they'll post anything no matter how private. Pretty sad.

I’m very glad that your kid reached out to you and glad you responded supportively. I totally understand you wanting to share. But I think your child would feel betrayed to find out that their vulnerable interaction had been posted on the internet, even anonymously. I hope you consider deleting this post. But you did good, parent :)
