You think giving parent resources for help is "a negative contribution to the discussion"? Wow. Don't let your clinical word choice fool you, that's an incredibly toxic response.

While xfitm3 was being rude, do you honestly think the OP was unaware of suicide hotlines?

Do you think the parent was informing of their existence, or reminding a poster who may need a nudge in stressed state of mind?
