Paris Jackson “Physically Fine” after possible suicide attempt
Paris Jackson is safe and physically ok after being rushed to an LA hospital, according to sources close to the family.
The 15-year old daughter of the late Michael Jackson tried to hurt herself with a knife Wednesday in her Calabasas home, and is now getting the appropriate medical attention.
The night before, Paris had left some cryptic messages to her followers on Twitter— including one tweet quoting the Beatles’ song “Yesterday,” and another saying “I wonder why tears are salty.”
One local psychologist tells NewsChannel 3 these were signs missed, and that we can learn from her incident by paying more attention to our children, and learning to better communicate with them.
If you’re concerned about a loved one or want to know how to best speak to your child about suicide, here are some helpful videos:
