Xavier School student threatens to jump off building

The kid needs help.

“Sometime past noon on Wednesday, November 12, a Grade 11 student from Xavier High School was seen sitting on the ledge on the fifth floor of the school building,” reports ANC.

The report noted: “The school authorities immediately called the San Juan City Rescue Team, the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) for help.”

Police said the boy had wanted to jump. When they talked to him, he didn’t make any demands. He just revealed that he “had family problems.”

The report said that “at some point, the police handed him a phone so he could talk to his parents.” Then, after about an hour of speaking to the authorities, the boy agreed to get back inside the building.

Police later found out that this was not the first time the boy attempted to jump off a building.
