"Heartbreaking" Prayer Alert: Teen Suicides and Attempted Suicides Increase Dramatically in 4 Months, on South Dakota ReservationsCries such as, "Yahweh, help us!" are increasingly being heard on the Pine Ridge Reservation as suicide rates skyrocket. At 150 times the national average, the unacceptable tragedy is beginning to gain national attention. (Pine Ridge, SD)—Christians are being called to battle in the US. A spiritual battle, that is. Between December and March, more than 200 teenagers on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota either committed suicide, or tried to. "This is beyond anything we've ever seen; it's almost like 'serial suicides,'" states Ron Hutchcraft of Ron Hutchcraft Ministries (RHM). "This is not just a psychological issue: this is a spiritual battle with spiritual forces. The Darkness Surrounding Pine Ridge "Pine Ridge was the site of the Wounded Knee massacre back at the end of the Indian era." Bodies were allegedly found as far as three miles outside the Pine Ridge camp. Following this dark moment in history came generations of oppression: boarding schools, substance abuse, extreme poverty, domestic abuse, the list goes on and on. According to Hutchcraft, a deep darkness still grips Pine Ridge today. • Infant mortality is 300 times the national average. The laments on Facebook would "break your heart," Hutchcraft says. "A 13-year-old sixth grader has taken her own life. My heart is breaking already, and the day has just begun." "This knife feels so good against my wrist. Ain't nobody care anyway, my life will be better gone as it is." "We just lost another child to suicide. Yahweh, help us!"
