Tonight, we confront one of the most urgent and heartbreaking crises of our time - suicide. It knows no boundaries.
Suicide touches every family, every community, and too often leaves loved ones with more questions than answers. Every 11 minutes, an American takes their own life. It’s the leading cause of death among our youth. Why is nobody listening when our children are screaming for help from the edge? In harrowing cases, children have reached a desperate breaking point, crying out for intervention—yet some schools remained silent and the adults in the room failed to act. How do these tragedies unfold, and what does it say about the systems meant to protect our youth? Dr. Phil will peel back the layers of a devastating failure and search for answers that might save many more lives.
