Teen suicide in MN schools vexes parents, experts

High schools in Minnesota are in a difficult spot when it comes to the suicide of students.

So let's begin with the conclusion: Politicians either don't know what's going on in their own city, or they're disingenuous in their denials of knowing what's going on in their own city.
