The parents of a teenager who took his own life are calling

for a secure mental health facility for under-18s who are

Aaron Fox died at the age of 16 earlier this year after becoming

In a secure unit, young people would be referred for specialist

treatment and would not be not free to come and go.

There is such a facility for over-18s in Belfast.

Kelly Bonner has been speaking to the Fox family.

Aaron Fox was just 15 when his battle with drugs began.

It progressed to legal highs, and it just got a hold

From that point, it was a constant battle.

A battle that ended in Aaron taking his own life in April this year.

It was horrendous, just horrendous to watch your child

Every parent's main goal in life is to protect their children,

I just wish we could go back to that day and I would never

As it stands, there are no secure treatment units for under-18s

with severe mental health issues - something this MLA says

There is not enough early intervention, health and support,

and when they are engaged in very harmful behaviour, self-harming

and trying to take their own lives, we struggle to find where we can get

them help, because here in Northern Ireland there is no

But the Department of Health say the current demand for

They say the priority for any additional investment would go

towards strengthening existing provisions rather

than on a specialised unit, something the Fox family

The way the system is working, kids need to be on their knees.

Literally on their knees before anybody will pay attention.

There are serious failings around children's mental health

There needs to be that early intervention.

There needs to be what we were calling a secure unit,

but more a safe place to get those kids away from the addiction,

to educate them and to give the assistance that they need.

The Fox family say until that happens they fear more lives

Local boxing clubs are hoping Carl Frampton's win of the WBA

Featherweight crown on Saturday will spark increased interest

Frampton, who is from Tiger's Bay in North Belfast, says

he hopes his next fight will be in his home city.

The fans probably have them come down to earth yet, but for those who

made the trip to New York, and it was time to come home. The

excitement will stay with them. Ali we expected he would win, we were

hoping he would win, but to win in such a way that he did when, a

unanimous points decision, it was unheard of. As they landed at

Belfast international, thoughts are already turning to the next venue.

They hope to summer Dhoni summer of a similar place, it would be great

if he could defend his new world title in Belfast. A lot of things

have to come together for something like this to happen in Belfast and

we hope for the past that it well. Northern Ireland is said to punch

above its weight in boxing and a former champion predicts this win

will draw the crowds of young people. If to look around, people

are excited and happy. You go into any boxing club now, kids will want

to be Carl Frampton. He's going to be on a world stage, they all want

to be part of that. This coach was presented with awards by Carl

Frampton earlier this year. He is hoping the latest assessable ring

appears to the coppers of amateur clubs as funders realise how popular

the supporters. Hopefully the funders will look at this and then,

can we help, can we latch onto be part of the next superstar coming

through? You wouldn't say no? Absolutely no. So when Carl Frampton

defends his title, whenever that may be, will it be here where he

gathered such huge home crowds in 2015? Or hear the Windsor Park

Stadium when it's ready to take a big crowd, but perhaps the TV rights

and their a big crowd would mean that the next big fight would have

to be in the United States. So, verse Mark fans, start saving. --

Carl Frampton fans. There were a few bleary-eyed

Frampton supporters after that fight and no wonder as it was in the early

hours of Sunday morning. For those who had travelled

to New York, Carl Frampton treated And the fans were keen to show

their appreciation of the champion. The boys from Belfast,

we all believe in him. We knew when we came out

here he was going to spark Santa Cruz and he did,

he sparked him in the second row. How much have the fans

enjoyed meeting him, shaking his hand, getting a photo

or a chat with the world champion? It's nice to be able to do that

because he's such a down-to-earth I believe if he had lost last night

he would have done the same thing, it shows he appreciates everyone

who travelled over and it's great Traders in Lisburn have condemned

the people who were behind a bomb alert in the city centre

at the weekend. A busy shopping area had to be

evacuated after a viable bomb The police say one line of inquiry

is that it fell off a vehicle. It was business as usual

in Lisburn today. But this busy shopping area came

to a standstill And this was the reason -

a viable bomb. Its discovery prompted road closures

and the evacuation of businesses. Some are blaming

dissident republicans. The line of inquiry is developing

that this device came off a vehicle. History has shown that prison

officers and security pass never have been targeted,

most recently a prison officer was murdered with an undercard

device and it suggests this is a pattern and so we

need to be vigilant. A controlled explosion was carried

out to make the device safe. And in a follow-up operation

by police, a car was seized While there is relief that no one

was injured by the bomb found here on Saturday, there is anger

in the business community When I saw it, it was time to lock

the shop up and move on quickly. It is just lucky no one was injured

and killed, so it was panic A massive impact, last day

of the month for me and sales day, The bomb was found just feet

from where a booby trap device killed six

off-duty soldiers in 1988. Locals are thankful there was no

further bloodshed three decades on. Dublin Zoo has launched an inquiry

after a young boy was photographed The photo emerged on social media
