No, it was a follow-up to that one Ianto, where they were considering a proposal to analyse the potentiality of someone committing an offence so they could be locked away before they do.

Perhaps this is a further solution to the paedophile issue then? That would rightfully make sense. Or those who are suicidal, dont they already get sectioned?

Ah lol I didnt realise it was meant to mean looking at ships. I honestly thought she meant looking at our own belly buttons. I remember the girls at school who had their belly buttons pierced used to poke at it alot

Quite possibly a suggested solution to the paedophile problem but I'm not sure we can justify locking people up when they have committed no crime.

I'm not sure what the situation is with people who are suicidal. I knew a young girl who voluntarily admitted herself to the old BRI ward and boy was that a depressing place.

Not these days... I know 2 women recently who have massively overdosed, neither of whom were sectioned. The NHS no longer has enough beds in mental health units to section every suicide attempt. A sad state of the NHS at the moment, if money is needed for Med/Surg it is taken from Mental Health and Maternity Services.

Funny thing about the suicidal girl I mentioned - she had a serious accident and it changed her whole life. All thoughts of suicide were gone after she'd had the unexpected brush with death. She fought for life and won.

Well often suicides are more of a cry for help rather than actually wanting to die arent they. Once you realise the value of your life after something like that I guess you learn to appreciate it even if it is a bit ****.

And lettie I never thought about the lack of money in regards to sectioning suicidal people, its a shame really.

A young woman jumped off the bus station in Blackpool last night. I accept what lettie say's in regard to the state of the NHS.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I agree that a lot of attempted suicides are a cry for help but some people, like the one Doug just mentioned simply want an end to a life they cannot cope with.

i work in mental health and it id difficult to get mental health problems diagnosed. some people have to wait months and somtimes years to get a proper diagnosis. it is time this changed then people didnt have to suffer to long

Did you intentionally mean the belly button then?

Really! Ah, so naval surgeon now makes more sense. I didn't think doctors had become THAT specialized
