My son Antonio Bonilla, age 20, committed suicide on Monday, February 2nd, 2015. He informed 4 people that he was going to hang himself outside of his ex-girlfriend's back porch and only one person, who happened to be out of state tried to help him. The rest of the poeple who knew this was happening live in the same city as he and they didn't do anything to prevent this tragedy. He sent over 25 texts and only one of those people called the police, who never showed up. He included the address where he was going to commit suicide and only one friend, who was out of state did anything to help him. why didn't the rest of his friends try...I will never know.

According to the Suicide Awareness Voices for Education suicides among 15-24 years olds is the third leading cause of death for youth. One of 65,000 children ages 10 to 14 commit suicide every year. Over 16% of students seriously consider suicide, 13% create a plan, and 8 percent have made a serious attempt.

My son could've been saved had his friends acted better. The thing that kills me is that his ex-girlfriend knew that he was on his way to kill himself and she didn't do anything to stop him. Her parents and family were home, they heard him yell her name, they heard him chocking and they didn't open the door to prevent it. I can't do anything to make them pay for it because there is no law forcing a person to help another person even thought they know that their intentions are to kill themselves. There should be a law especially if you're receiving texts messages telling you, informing you that they're going to kill themselves.

They should be held responsible for not helping that person.

If you get a call from a friend, a text message, an email....anything telling you that they're going to kill themselves then take responsibility as a human being to help them. Don't just stand by and later find out that one call couldve prevented a life loss.

This is his story and cry for help:

Allot of you don't know the story on how Antonio left us but I think you should. I think people should create awareness from my son's tragedy. I spoke to his father and we are both in agreement.

I received the call around 8;30am from his father informing me that our son, Antonio had hung himself on the back porch of his ex-girlfriend's house. I will leave her name out of it but I'm hoping everyone knows who she was. Early that day around 12:30am he had informed 4 people that he was going to hang himself and only one friend tried to help him. Unfortunatly for us, the friend who tried to help was out of state while the rest of the people who knew reside in the same city as he. I'm not going to reveal the names of the other three people, they will have to live with their guilt for the rest of their lives.

He told them that he was going to hang himself on her back porch, he sent over 25 text messages including her address and yet only one person who was out of state tried to help, no one else did anything to prevent this tragedy. No one showed up to save him. In one message he said that he hoped he could feel his ex-girlfriend's hands on his feet....I can only imagine that means he wished he could feel her saving him. Maybe that would've made a difference. All in all he described what he was going to do. He was going to yell her name three times and then he was going to hang himself. As he got closer my son texted numerous times to his friends and to her....I'm getting closer, I'm almost there, Today's the day. Only one person cared, unfortunatly for us that person was too far away to save him. They tried texting him back, they tried speaking to him, they tried speaking to his ex-girlfriend to call the police, which she refused, in the end his friend called the police and they never showed up. When he got there true to his word he yelled her name and hung himself.

Later his ex-girlfriend called my son's father and said that she didn't hear him yelling, that it was her brothers who heard him. She said that her brother could hear him choking. That's a lie. We have his phone and we saw all the messages. We also know that she spoke to his friend and told her that she did hear my son yelling her name and that she could hear him chockin. She was there with her brothers and her parents and they did nothing to save him.

My son wasn't crazy, he fell in love with an evil girl. Her family didn't want her being with my son because he was Hispanic and she was white. Numerous times he would tell me that. My son comes from a good family. We're not racists in any way. How could she just stand by an let him die? I'm going to have to live with this the rest of my life while she on the other hand walks away without any remorse.

If you know who she is, then ask her. Ask his friends why.... WHY...

I tried getting in contact with numerous lawyers regarding this matter and all they could tell me is that she used poor judgement...YOU THINK? That its not a law to help a person. Well why not? It should be. If a person, a human being needs help then you should be liable to help if you aware of it like she was. They could've saved his life.

My son is dead. All he wanted was for her to show him that she loved him by coming out and saving him. If anyone knows what I can do please help me. I can't process this. No one was required to help. There is no law on helping someone who's reaching for help. Well then there should be. Just because there's no law making you help doesn't mean you should stop being a human being.

My son was wonderful. If I have to spend the rest of my life trying to pass a law which puts responsibility on any person to help if they know a person needs help then I will dedicate myself to it. He could've been saved. He wanted to be saved.

Now you know his story. You now know he actually was reaching out for help. If you know of anyone who needs help and reaches out to you, then be a human being. HELP THEM! Dont let a second go by. You might have saved their life. I know their parents would appreciate it with all their hearts. I know I would've if anyone had cared to have helped my son when he was reaching out for it...
