A&E with DD14 overdose posting for hand hold please

[Tinkerbellone]

I'm sat with DD14. She's taken 17 paracetamols after social media nastiness from girls at her school.
So worried. We got here within 30 min.
They've given her active charcoal. Has anyone had similar happen? Advice handhold please. I'm single mum and so worried. Xx

hond hold op......sending you both love and strength xxx

Hope she is ok I od at 14 32 paracetamol and a litre of vodka i was in hospital overnight and had to see a psychologist, report to the school and if its threatening behaviour report to police I would also photo all the comments then delete all social media

No advice but have a DD same age and my heart goes out to you. Some girls are just so horrible and I think it's compounded by social media as there's no escape from it. It's so easy to target someone on there. Your poor daughter.

Sounds positive that you got there quickly and you're helping her where you can. Unmumsnetty hugs to you.

No practical advice from me but there is someone around all night if you need to chat. Much love to you and your DD

Massive hugs op.

What is the world coming to where a child can hurt so much because of other children.

I see you'll call the head tomorrow but I'd also be asking for them to explain ways they will safeguard your dd in school and I'd delete her SM accounts or have her details so you are always logged in to monitor.
I would also enquire (non emergency) if there is a complaint system with the police in some way as that may give school and these kids the shake up they need.

Other than that could you homeschool/ move schools or is she happy there apart from those few?

Makes me so angry, you must be shaking with anger!
Did dd tell you what she'd done? Sounds like you acted quick well done you.

Keep strong, you're doing amazing x

I’m so sorry for you, my sister went through this. I’m probably going to get stick for this but why don’t you remove her from the school and remove all social media?

I’m so sorry. My DS was bullied relentlessly and it is sheer hell. Hope your girl recovers quickly and you both get support.
(She’ll always remember that you supported her and looked after her) xxxx

Sending a hand hold and hugs 💐

Poor poor girl. Bullying was bad enough in the past where you could at least leave it at school. Now it’s everywhere.
please get her to delete everything. Ok she will miss out on the digital experience but it just isn’t worth it

I'm so sorry for you both OP x

Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery. It's disgusting how horrible some people can be.

Thinking of you and your DD, OP.

Big unmumsnetty hugs OP. I've been there, my then 12 year old son took 300mg amitriptyline last year.

Hand holding OP.

Oh your poor dd. These children really don’t understand just how much they can affect others. My dd is a similar age to your dd. I hope you don’t mind but I would like to share your dd’s story to remind her that all her peers have feelings and even children, who she isn’t really friends with need to be cared for. Sending you lots of love, strength and well wishes.

Well done Mama. Hoping your precious DD has full recovery. Homeschool/change of school? And off social media? So hard to protect them these days. I was very unhappy at that age- If only we could show them how fast life can change Xx

Oh Yes
@Bubblesandsqueak1 reminded Me. They sent a psychiatrist to my Bedside the morning after but I did not want to talk .

Oh OP, this is every parent's nightmare. I'm so sorry both you and your beautiful daughter are going through this. I'm praying for you both tonight. Stay strong.

You must tell the school and tbh I'd be inclined to pull her out if that's what she wanted. School and exams can always be redone, her life and her well being are always the priority x

Do you trust the School to deal with it, does it have a Schools Police Officer? I’d keep her off now for the rest of term whilst this is investigated to give you both breathing space to decide the way forward. X

Thinking of her and sending good vibes and wishes xx

You’re so right about that pack mentality. When my daughter had problems I contacted the tutor, head of year, pastoral care and the police. It’s worth cc ing the headteacher into all of your emails. We changed schools in the end, as the culture amongst the kids in that school was awful. X

It’s good it’s nearly the holiday so even if off from now on isn’t going to miss much at all.

I've been where you are. She chucked her guts up about 40 minutes after the medication, which is quite normal, apparently.

You may also find that you have a nurse sat at the end of the bed to watch over her all night, and then they start putting the immediate psych assistance in place by midmorning.
