10-Year-Old's Heartbreaking Suicide Note Before Killing Herself: 'Mum Will Be Happiest'

10-Year-Old’s Heartbreaking Suicide Note Before Killing Herself: 'Mum Will Be Happiest'

A 10-year-old girl died by suicide in Mexico, leaving behind a heartbreaking note, which claimed that her mother will be the “happiest woman” after her death.

Authorities in Aguascalientes, Mexico, said they received a call about a young girl’s death at 10:18 p.m. local time (11:18 p.m. EST) on Jan. 6, during which the festival called Three Kings Day or “ Dia De Los Reyes ” was being observed in the country – a time when people exchange gifts with their loved ones.

On arriving at the scene, the police found a suicide note near the girl's body, where she blamed herself for her mother’s miseries after her birth caused her father to leave, Mirror Online reported. Here is what the 10-year-old, identified as Evelyn Nicole N., wrote in the letter:

“Dear Three Kings, I only want to ask you my mum will be the happiest woman in the world after I will not be here anymore as I am only a pain and a ruin in her life since I was born, as I was the reason my dad left our house. I want to ask my mum to be calm, not to work a lot, the best present I can ask is her happiness. I hope someday you remember me and in the sky, finally, you hug me. I think the best present for the Three Kings is if I kill myself. As you always said to me I wish you had never been born. I love you so much, mum, I know the Three Kings do not exist but I give you this great present."

Words have horrible consequences! Parents need to think before they act and speak! This young girls death was so damn unnecessary!

I never want them to think they aren't loved or wanted...even when they drive me to the brink of insanity (which all kids do).

All parents should read this and remember it when they are ready with cutting words.

Poor little girl.
