One of the kids in in charge of at work tried committing suicide this weekend. She’s in the hospital now. She had admitted to me before that she had tried over winter break as well when she forgot her medication. I didn’t follow the legal safety procedure. I had told my boss that she admitted depression, but I never said suicide. I was afraid that reporting it would make her lose her trust in us. I was hoping that the medication was helping. I have no idea whether it would’ve turned out better or worse than this. Or if it would’ve changed anything. But I failed as an employee and I feel like I’ve failed as a person.
