Police were seen outside of Cruz's Houston, Texas, home on Tuesday evening after a 14-year-old, believed to be his daughter Caroline, was found with self-inflicted wounds on her arms shortly before 8pm. A representative for the Senator said it was a 'family matter' and that Cruz's daughters were 'okay,' according to ABC 13. Houston Police Department also said there was 'no criminal activity' and it was 'not a family violence issue.'
Cruz does have a two daughters Catherine and Caroline, 11 and 14.

Prayers for the girl.
It has to be tough on a young kid if a family member is reviled in the media like Senator Cruz. He is mentally fortified for the political battle, but a 14 year-old just is not going to be that mature. May she grow strong, physically, mentally, and in spirit. God bless and protect this family.

I raised two daughters to adulthood. My heart goes out to the whole family. They are at the age where you are thankful for every day they aren't on drugs, pregnant or dead.
Hang in there Ted. It does get better.

Take her 'phone away. So much time wasted on doing nothing and learning less. Loads of all kinds of good stuff to replace it with - like sports, dance classes, walking her dog, cooking, taking pictures with a camera, art classes, practicing her faith, etc. etc. Like any addiction, she should make herself be in control.

Sound like a cutter. If so, she really needs our prayers.

Some girls have some mental problems that makes them cut themselves. I avoid the mentally ill, and this is clearly a mental illness, and I don't know much about it, or really want to know much about it.
I try to stay as far from the mentally ill as a I can. They are unpredictable, and I can't see any good coming from being around them.

More young girls are hurt by social media than any other cause. Facebook is the biggest offender. Social media friends are not your friends. Real friends are made out of flesh and blood. You spend time with them. You personally know their family and most of all when things get tough real friends are there for you. I have never logged onto social media and never will. I have been blessed to have a number of great friends that are always there for me, good times and bad.
Get your children off the device and get them active.

This is a private family issue and the press needs to respect the family’s privacy.

This ought to grab the attention of the MSM who were so flatly disinterested in the bizarre incident recently at Pelosi's palace.

Fourteen and thereabouts is a rough age for young girls (I shudder when I remember those years of my life), and being the child of a prominent politician is just an added complication. Prayers for the daughter and the family. There is a solution - either home-school her, or put her in a new school under a different last name (like her mother's maiden name). Then, as long as she keeps her mouth shut, no one will know who she is.

Do some real reporting, what's Hunter Biden up to recently? Forget Ted Cruz with his family matters that's not news to me.

If it were up to the Democrats, all Republican politicians should leave politics and take care of their children. There is a good chance that what lead up to this is that Cruz’s girl has been “bullied” at school and by “fair weather” friends because of Cruz’s politics. Then again maybe she is just a teen girl acting up!
