[Argonnek]

There is a child who is starving and dehydrated, just lying on the floor. He was injured by an... "accidental" 2 z-level drop and now nobody is helping him. He's also been sitting there for quite a while without moving, so I doubt that he's going to be getting to the hospital any time soon.

How can I go about solving this? Hurt him again? Let him starve? Magma?

[wierd]

Take a "hard working" dwarf, and disable **all** labors except healthcare.

He should get the "recover wounded" job.

Like cleaning, dwarves only do it when there is literally nothing else to do.

(I wish there were dedicated labors for those tasks. That way "clean" would be a D menu item, and "ambulance service" would be a medical labor.)

[Argonnek]

I tried that, but he just won't be taken to the hospital. I've even caved in several walls around him, but with no effect. I think he's just gonna die. Oh well, he's just some migrant whelp anyway.

Maybe he went missing, and the dwarves literally overlook him?

[Talvieno]

Maybe you could give someone a burrows near the little tyke so that he isn't overlooked, so the hard-working dwarf can save him?

[Argonnek]

Actually, he's still completely alive and his presence is known. He's just laying there in a hallway that sees a good deal of traffic. He's also gone melancholy.

Edit: Derp. He was assigned to a burrow that didn't include the hospital. I can't believe I forgot to add the flippin' hospital...

[wierd]

If he's melancholy, short of a divine intervention with something like runesmith, he's doomed.

Emo kids always die from suicidal self neglect in DF.

I had a baby in my fort that lost both parents in a Necromancer attack.  The dwarves were taking good care of him, but then I forgot about him and assigned everyone to dump rocks.  You can guess the rest.

The emo kids in my forts die of tower-related fall injuries.  I place the only craft shop at the top of a tower.  Possessed Child, failed mood, header off the tower.  The circle of life continues.
