On Family talks about teen suicide so others don't suffer in silence

evansville has a high suicide rate compared to other community's our size in the state. I was just talking with the school counselor this last week about it. The most important thing people can do is talk about it, stop the stigma that goes with mental illness. No one chooses to have a mental illness. It chooses them. Once again my thoughts and prays go out to the Brumley's and thank you to everyone on here for being respectful and thank you to the Brumleys for sharing.

donkeykong, my questions would be.
1. Who is going to investigate complaints?
2. How do you prove someone is breeding more than the 3 litters a year?
3. How much authority or power is whom ever is investigating going to have?? etc .. search warrants?? Which you have to be able to show cause , not just hear say.
All this talk makes me think of that byb over by Fort Atkinson.
Our friend bought a cocker spaniel from her. She never let them see the parents, you never saw another dog except for one.
After talking with several people and reading about this lady on line, the complaints.
They learned that she is in deed a byb, but keeps them in crates in her barn and shed. That she sells sick puppies and charges a fortune for them.
She has ads quite often in local papers.
But when you first go to visit her you would never guess she is a byb.
But she is . So how do you go about catching her if you can never actually see anything.

I don't understand how they are going to enforce this and I don't think it will work. There are to many way breeders can get around this, they will just be more careful about how they run things.

This is excellent, about time. But how will they enforce it? That is still a lot of puppies with out having to be licensed.

I would ask everyone on here to be respectful. Don't pretend that you know what its like to live with a child with a mental illness , especially bipolar. By saying well they could have/should have done this...you are suggesting they did not do everything they could. They lost a child have some degree of respect. I can tell you they did everything possible for their child, as far as the social phobia issue, Stardustlady, a Social Phobia mixed with Bipolar is not the same as just a social phobia.. Bipolar is a nasty , ugly disease, and to add social phobia or any other type of mental disorder would be extremely hard. I feel so for this family , few people really understand bipolar, and I can tell you from it experience that you learn as you go. It is very hard to diagnosis. It can look like several other mental illness. Bipolar does not go away, its for life. Our family has been through hell with our son, and suicide attempts and live with the fear one day he will succeed. The Brumley's did this story out of the goodness of their broken hearts, show some respect.

It will be interesting to see how this works. It won't put a end to dog breeding. If it would really work we should see a decline in the gazette and WSJ as there is ad, after ad, for puppies by breeders in both of these as well as many online places. The dept of ag, and consumer protection is so over whelmed now, I just don't see them having a profound effect. Look how long it took them to shut down thyme and sage, and that was after years of complaints and pictures of conditions. I hope they put as much effort into enforcing, as they did in getting this passed.
