-Student sends you a message Friday at 3pm that they are going through terrible things, parents are awful, and that they are suicidal
-Student doesn't respond to any attempt I have in reaching out to them
-I continue to try to reach out to them with no response
-I'm forced to call the parents to tell them what their child said to me
-Parent responds by yelling at the student and complaining about how the student reached out for help
-Student will probably never reach out to me for help again

Why though?
Can't you tell social services?

What else did you expect? It's not his business to parent that child. The next step now that TC witnessed it is social services.

We have to inform the guardian when a child expresses suicidal thoughts
