Suicide woman banned from rivers

A woman who has attempted suicide four times has been banned from jumping into rivers, canals or onto railway lines.

Doesn’t a woman who’s tried to commit suicide four times need some psychological help – not an ABSO? And I don’t suppose that legally preventing her form jumping in rivers will stop her trying to kill herself, since I don’t expect that she think’s she’ll survive to be prosecuted.
