Thanks for the link, although its title seems to be at odds with at least one of its paragraphs, which supports the extra concern for kids.

"Adolescents in the study had more suicide attempts than adults. The researchers found that the rate for the first six months of antidepressant treatment was 314 attempts per 100,000 in teens and 78 attempts per 100,000 in adults. As with adults, the rate was highest in the month before treatment and declined by about 60 percent after treatment began."
