While most of us are still trying to wrap our minds around the concept of cutting, some self-mutilators are taking their addiction to a new level.

A Fox News article released today reveals that "some troubled teens are embedding nails, paper clips, bits of rock, glass and even crayons in their bodies as a way to cope with disturbing thoughts and feelings..."

According to Dr. William Shiels who conducted the study, "It's cutting gone to the next level."

Q&A:

  • Have you seen any cases of self-embedding within your ministry?
  • How does this information impact you?
