No should be to quick to judge. WTVD was wrong. She did not commit suicide, however she did attempt to commit suicide. She will have a long long road ahead of her, which is very difficult for us, her family. Yes, she did put others in danger, we are thankful that no one else was physically hurt by her actions. We, as a family believe that God is the giver and taker of life. Although we do not fully understand all that has happened, and all that lies ahead, she is much loved by the family and we are committed to getting her the help that she needs. If you have never suffered from mental illness or lived with someone who suffers from mental illness, you cannot begin to understand the day to day ins and outs, and what causes the person to think and behave as they do. It makes no sense to someone who does not have the disease. I can assure everyone that she has been under a doctor's care and on meds at the time of the tragic attempt.

She jumped cause she's obviously got some mental problem. She needs some professional help with prescribed medicine....Sad...hopefully she can get that help and live a more normal life!

Let us all pretend that this woman is our dear daughter, or sister, or neighbor. Then, make your comments. She is our neighbor, at the very least. What she did was tragic for herself, and dangerous for the community. Let's pray that she will be alright and that no one else is inspired to copy her actions.

Exactly my point. It seems some of the posters are more concerned with "what if" as opposed to what really is. There isn't much thought process put into this kind of behavior and those it might affect.

suicide is insane. There is no "thinking" about selfishness or risk to others. People who are suicidal have a medical problem.. a clinical level depression.. and need to be face-to-face with an MD for assessment and referral to an appropriate treatment situation. There are rare exceptions usually involving terminal illness, but even then there is the possiblity that if treated for the depression the suicidal urges could subside.
