>BTW a second teen from our school district took her life one month to the day after our son. The school district had not alerted parents to what had happened (naturally, all students knew). They still are circling their wagons and claiming everything is fine. We are desperately afraid more in the school district will follow.

Bill, I am going to tread lightly because you have gone through a horrible experience that I haven't. But please don't beat yourself up too badly. It doesn't sound like there were any overt signs that he was considering something like this. In fact he was doing some positive things. And what parent ever knows completely what is going through the mind of their child?

IAC, best wishes to you and Cheryl.
