Good evening. This is definitely a tough story to tell. The child here was 12 year old Miracle Cresswell. Her younger siblings discovered she had injured herself last Wednesday night. She died here at Children's. On Saturday. Now I was able to speak to her mother. She says Miracle was a seventh grader at Cohen Road Middle School in Spalding County. Her mother says she suffered with mental health issues for about a year and was in therapy. According to Miracle's mom, the child claimed she experienced bullying at school that led her mom to have conversations with school staff. However, she didn't learn how tough of a battle the child was having until she read through her diary after her death. Now she's urging other parents to avoid too much privacy. Check their phones a lot more. I know when they be in middle school, they keep a lot of secrets from parents. 101 questions, even though they might not like it. But just pay attention. And according to the Children's Hospital Association, suicide is the second leading cause of death amongst young people ages 10 and 14.
