Always take it seriously. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it's better safe than sorry.
My 15-yr old attempted suicide 2x's in November and spent the entire month in a psychiatric hospital.
You would have to call the police and tell them he's suicidal or take him to the hospital. You can't have him put on a psychiatric hold; he has to do that.
Good luck. I hope that everything works out.

You ALWAYS take it seriously. You can call 911 and they will send an ambulance out. You can also call a crisis hotline.

If he says anything to the cops abt wanting to hurt himself then he HAS to go to hosp. He loses the right to refuse. As an EMT I have dealt with many who want to die. They will be held for 72hrs
