Mt. Lebanon deaths leave parents facing tough talks with kids

Children in Mount Lebanon may continue to experience fear, trouble sleeping or difficulty concentrating in the weeks after the deaths of a father and his two young children, according to a child psychologist who says parents should talk openly with their children about the tragedy. On Nov. 3, 42-year-old Patrick Lynch and his children, 8-year-old James Lynch and 6-year-old Caroline Lynch, died after an apparent fall from the parking garage behind the Mount Lebanon municipal building, according to a community announcement. Authorities later ruled the children's deaths homicides and their father's death a suicide, according to USA TODAY. The deaths have prompted an outpouring of support in Mount Lebanon. “This morning, we continue to offer our deepest sympathies to the family, friends and anyone touched by the tragedy in Mt. Lebanon yesterday,” the municipality wrote in a mtlebanon.org statement. Officials said seeing neighbors reach out to one another was providing “solace on this sad day” and thanked first responders for their efforts. For children who knew the family, attend schools in the community or have repeatedly encountered coverage online, however, the effects may continue beyond the immediate aftermath.
