Suicide Thinking Children

I bet those children were never hugged or held even once in their entire lives. It is sad how some parents don't give their children affection.

Would their parents be happier with one less mouth to feed?

In a world where more and more parents treat their children as nothing more than obligations and avoid giving their children any affection whatsoever, I am not surprised a child would feel suicidal. Love is the meaning of life. If this love is non-existent in one's life, then life has no purpose.
