No help for boy, aged six who talked of suicide

A YOUNG boy last night who talked of killing himself at the age of six, put a face to the plight of children who cannot get proper treatment for serious mental health problems.

Seven-year-old Jordan Kelly, from Dunboyne in Co Meath, was profiled on the Prime Time Investigates programme, which was told the boy first spoke about killing himself when he was six years old.

“[It’s] like someone is controlling me, I’m not actually being bold. It’s like a robot, someone else controlling me,” Jordan said.
