In pretty much all places, an attempt at suicide is a mental health issue and not a criminal issue. However, if it is discovered that a parent has made an attempt at suicide, their ability to adequately care for and provide the necessities of life to the child is definitely in question.

Social services will take the steps necessary for the child to be removed from the parent's care. In the meantime, it is very possible that Police may take custody of the child immediately, to ensure their safety.

Should you be worried because in the last 3 years I have taken more then 30 paracetamols attempting to kill myself and since I took 12 on NYE I've been getting stabbing pains in my stomach and chest?

If in the last three years you have taken more then 30 paracetamols attempting to kill yourself and since have taken 12 on NYE and have been getting stabbing pains in stomach and chest then you shouldn't be worried. It makes no sense to request this information on account of being worried if you are intentionally attempting to commit suicide.
