Senator Ted Cruz's Daughter Tried To Commit Suicide Last Night

Police were called to their Houston residence last night for a 14-year old girl (his daughter) with self-inflicted knife wounds. Regardless of politics, let us all wish her and the family the best and give them peace as they deal with these severe issues.

She didn't choose racist, ignorant, cowardly Count Chocula for a father I feel badly for her and anyone growing up in a household where being yourself isn't encouraged. I hope she heals and receives the help she needs.

@Celebration Well said ! 👍🏽

@Celebration Exactly….keeping her in my prayers 🙏🏼💙

I wish her well, but her father is a dirty prick who can rot in hell.

@TrashCat And don't forget that he pushed GOP conspiracy theories after Paul Pelosi was attacked. But his daughter had nothing to do with that and deserves sympathy and a full recovery.

@windinhishair and he ran for Cancun when his constituents literally froze to death beause of a failed infrastructure he helped put in place. Texas is oil rich and people died. Cruz couldn't even take care of his own family.

@TrashCat I believe he took them along. No sense having them suffer along with his constituents.

Feel horrible for her, can't imagine being the kid of someone so stodgy and authoritarian. :\ I hope she gets some help and holds out til 18.

@BlueVeins Imagine what it must be like for teens who are part of the LGBT community in that kind of home environment?

BlueVeins · 22-25

@chrisCA I mean, I was one of those teens, but it wasn't nearly as bad for me as it was for them. My parents weren't borderline Nazi politicians.

Hope he is smart enough to get her the mental health treatment she needs.

Bartleby · 51-55, M

I wish that didn’t become public because that’s just going to make it harder on her.

chrisCA · M

@Bartleby It will also put the Cruz family's homelife under a microscope.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@Bartleby @chrisCA Unfortunately, police calls are a matter of public record, and it was bound to become known.

Bartleby · 51-55, M

@windinhishair Oh I understand. Just feel bad for her.

DearAmbellina2113 · 41-45, F

Every time I see a pic of those kids they look depressed af

calicuz · 56-60, M

Yes, the children shouldn't suffer. I hope they get her the help she needs.

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@calicuz I do too. If it got to this point, there are deep issues that will not be simple to address. She will need professional care for a long time. The teenaged years are very difficult for most people, let alone the daughter of a controversial US Senator.

Graylight · 51-55, F

She was clearly calling out for some kind of assistance, and I hope she's answered by those who can best help her through this trouble. Every family should be afforded privacy for family matters.

chrisCA · M

The children of public figures must be under a lot of stress, especially if their parents are controversial.

YourMomsSecretCrush · M

Hate to see anyone, regardless of political affiliation, go thru that.

bijouxbroussard · F

It’s certainly not her fault that she’s Ted Cruz’s daughter. Let’s hope he sees that she’s helped. 🥺

independentone · M

If Ted Cruz were my father, I'd attempt suicide too.
Get her away from that family so she can get the help she needs.

@swirlie Much better idea. I do hope the daughter gets the help she needs though.

Hikingguy · 56-60, M

Such an effed up world and the pressure kids go through.

chrisCA · M

@Hikingguy Much of that pressure is created by the parents.

Hikingguy · 56-60, M

@chrisCA yup and all the garbage social media.

chrisCA · M

@Hikingguy Yup. Before that it was video games, television, Rock n Roll, Jazz music.

Neoerectus · M

Tough age. I hope she gets the nelp she needs.

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

Poor girl politics aside lets hope she gets help

Star1 · F

Poor child & in the public eye too, so rough for her. The responses to this post are heartwarming. I hope the people around her are kind, children need kindness in their lives

I had a bad dad. She needs to get out of that home now. That guy is a prick from hell..

Ontheroad · M

That is so terribly sad - I truly hope she gets the help she needs.

firefall · 61-69, M

Poor girl, I hope she finds the help she needs

Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M

I wish her the best. As for Cruz, I would have nothing by sympathy for him if he would renounce his own demagoguery and support of Trump.

Wiseacre · F

Sad..
