I'm sorry, what now? This is very bad.
Teens calling Idaho's suicide hotline are being told they can't proceed with the conversation without parental consent. Many of the callers are then hanging up.

Idaho approved a strict parental consent law last year.

“I want you to know,” the program director recalled one recipient telling him, “that this saved my life.”
