Harmony Rose Washington, a fourth grader at Prairie Trails Elementary school in Chicago, died by hanging herself at her home on February 20.
For help and support call the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline on 988A grieving mother is struggling to understand why her 10-year-old daughter took her own life.
Seven months on, she still can't comprehend her daughter's death, and is overcome with questions about Harmony's mental health.She'd been scolded for making disrespectful comments toward her uncle, Gaines told the Chicago Tribune, and the family thought she'd taken herself up to her bedroom. 'They're screaming. The way that they scream — it was one of those like somebody was getting killed when they called out my name,' she said.
Gaines wonders whether her daughter 'maybe wanted attention', or if she was tipped over the edge by bullying at school or the argument they'd had that evening.'As parents, we don't know that we're doing anything wrong. We think that everything is OK. I learn now that I try to not yell as much, because I know it may be a trigger to them.'
It's a crisis spurred by the lack of research, funding and infrastructure in helping provide mental health support to children that young.
