A young mum took her own life after two of her children were taken from her care while a third was desperately ill in hospital.
Emma Thomas hanged herself hours after posting a heart-breaking farewell message on Facebook reading: ‘I can’t do it any more, bye’.
According to Manchester Evening News , the 28-year-old was found dead in her garden a few weeks after being told the youngsters had been placed in the care of her ex-boyfriend permanently by social services.
Just hours before the 28-year-old was found hanging at her Rochdale home, she posted the Facebook status:
“Am done u wont my kids u got them u wont get any1 that love there kids like i do cant do it any more bye [sic].”
Ms Thomas who had two children from a previous relationship,was found dead by her boyfriend Lee Walsh, after he went to her flat to check on her following an argument.
A year later she met Mr Walsh and the pair had a son, who suffers from a serious liver condition and has spent much of his life in hospital.
The court heard that she was prescribed anti-depressants to help her cope with her two children moving away and the strain of caring for her seriously-ill baby, who she ‘constantly’ visited in hospital.Ms Thomas was also suffering with ‘difficulties’ in her relationship with Mr Walsh and that there had been ‘violent’ incidents.
As Ms Thomas’ problems mounted, she reportedly told social service staff: “I feel like jumping from a bridge.”
