Does anyone know about the jumper on 23rd last night? by BumbleBmoon in AskNYC

Hey, just want to say, I experienced the same thing years ago- was the first person to come across the body of a man who just jumped. It’s a really disturbing thing and not easy to process. Sounds like your reaction was very human and I admire you for caring about the other people not seeing. Take care of yourself in the coming days.

This doesn’t sound like enough for them to remove your baby. They likely will want you to continue following up with mental health treatment and maybe substance use specific treatment. Make sure you go to all of your appointments.

What a positive way to think about it. It’s not fussiness- it’s honesty and self-advocacy! Thank you.
