Child sex abuse linked to suicide
Calls have been made for a national study to examine the link between childhood sex abuse and suicide. Suicide prevention helpline 1Life said more than a quarter of crisis calls this year were from adults who suffered attacks as a youngster. And a group for survivors of abuse also revealed two people on its waiting list died by suicide over the last 18 months. Ciaran Austin, director of services with Console which runs 1Life, raised concerns over the hike in calls following the publication of sickening clerical abuse reports, including the recent Cloyne Report.
