Bullied Teen Leaves Heartbreaking Suicide Note Before Hanging Himself

Bullied Teen Leaves Heartbreaking Suicide Letter Before Hanging Himself

If you’re one of those people who say “kids are too soft these days” maybe this story from the NYDailyNews will help you see that adults need to step up and help a struggling child…

Before he took his own life, Daniel Fitzpatrick, taunted and bullied, wrote a final, heartbreaking letter lamenting that nearly no one tried to help him.

The 13-year-old Staten Island boy, mercilessly badgered over his weight, grades and his innocent heart, pleaded to his school for help.

But teacher after teacher at Holy Angels Catholic Academy — the principal, too — turned a deaf ear, refusing to intervene, he said in the letter that was never sent.

Finally, overwhelmed by the torment, Daniel hanged himself, his family said.

“I gave up,” the teen scrawled on two sides of a single sheet of paper. “The teachers . . . they didn’t do anything,” he said, pouring his heart onto the page.

“My son shouldn’t have to die to be heard,” Daniel’s distraught mom Maureen Fitzpatrick told The News in an exclusive interview Friday. “There’s something wrong with the adults in authority positions when kids can’t go to them for help.”

“No parent is supposed to bury their child,” she said.

God bless this family, can’t even imagine the pain that they are feeling right now…
