Just want to take a moment to say great job to the Georgia board. It probably sounded like a troll at first but they reacted quickly and responded to the possible threat taking it very serious. In the end it looks to have been a legit threat as a couple of posters had talked to the guy (after some great detective work getting his #) and he said he was trying to overdose. As of an hour ago, the update is that one poster had spoken with his mother and he is at the hospital getting help.

Just one more time great job guys!

I am happy to know there is posters like that on the rant.. No matter what we all may fight and troll at times.. But when it counts posters are there looking for the other posters..

I remember talking to him for a very long time one night. I got so mad at the person who abused him that I volunteered to look him up and beat the shite out of him. And that father of his needs to be locked up forever.

Thanks to the Georgia board for being there for him. He's a great kid who can recover from his experiences and live a happy life. I've seen it happen.

Good work, Dawgs. Mental health is an area that doesn't get taken seriously enough in today's America. Glad y'all were able to stave off a tragedy.

Hopefully he will get the help he needs. Kudos to Dawg fans to spend the time to try to track him down and help. That's awesome!
