I"m shocked someone would say "Darwin FTW" on a six year old.

Honey, natural selection applies to the parents too....their choices impact whether their offspring lives on.

Your choices, and what you discuss, and teach your kids is EVERYTHING in regards to their safety...or else, your child can end up a statistic.

Be vigilant is all I'm saying.

Involve your kids. Hold them close, and help with their choices, in order for them to thrive, but more basically, to even survive.
.

Choices??? She was 6!!!! I don't know what kind of life choices you were making at age 6. I was deciding whether I wanted to play with Legos or Lincoln Logs.... not if or how I was going to kill myself.

But I do like your last statement.... that is FTW.....

Damn right 6 year olds make important choices. Mine is in the front yard right now choosing not to go into the street because he doesn't want to die. 6 year olds can be very intelligent and capable of high reasoning.

Kids don't get enough credit for their reasoning and critical thinking ability IMO.

Exactly this.

Teach them well, teach them early.

Unbelievable because you don't think of a 6 year old as attempting/committing suicide but wondering about everything and what they are to play with next.

So sad.

I knew how to tie a proper hangmans noose around that age... Back before a noose could only be a racist symbol and it was good for halloween decorations and hanging GI Joes, HeMan and the like...
