In what must be a first for the internet, a depressed 16-year-old boy in England messaged a female friend in the USA that he was intending to commit suicide. The friend in the USA, without knowing where he lived, was able to alert the authorities and get the local police force to intervene. Apparently, in a remarkable chain of events, his American friend told her mother who called the police; the police in turn called the white house, who then got in contact with the British Embassy. The embassy were able to inform the boy's local police force. The police arrived at his house to find that he had taken an overdose, but was still conscious. The boy was rushed to hospital where he was treated before making a full recovery.
