I'm so ****ed off at Virginia Tech

University protocol states that a suicidal person needs to see the “psychologist on call,” but that never happened. Instead, Virginia Tech passed on the information to the Blacksburg police, who at 11:45 a.m. that day showed up at Kim’s doorstep for what police records show was a “welfare check,” what school officials call a “wellness check.”

<p>I’m involved with an org that oversees a suicide hotline. When someone calls, there’s always a trained professional to answer at all hours of the day and night. Passing the buck which was done in this case is ridiculous. I especially love the quote where the university says they “followed the protocol and acted appropriately.” Uh…no.</p>

<p>Revealing the truth is not callous. It’s necessary so that this sort of thing stops happening at VT.</p>
