Girl Predicts Her Death On Facebook, Writes 'May Die 2day'

A 12-year-old Texas girl posted a chilling message on Facebook that read, "I think I may die 2day," and just hours later her mother shot her in the head.
Ramie Marie Grimmer's prophetic message was written on Monday just hours after her mother, Rachelle Grimmer, took her and brother Timothy, 10, hostage along with a human services worker at a state office in Laredo, Texas, reported MSNBC.com.
The standoff came to an unfortunate end later that night when Rachelle shot both Ramie and her little brother once in the head, then killed herself. Timothy remains in critical condition at a San Antonio hospital, where his sister died of her wounds on Wednesday.
The seven-hour ordeal caught the nation's attention after it was reported that Grimmer had gotten upset with the Laredo welfare office because they denied her food stamps.
After being taken into a private room by a supervisor to discuss her case, she pulled a gun and held her hostage. She later let the woman go, and hostage negotiators and police talked with her all night while she spilled a slew of complaints against state and federal government agencies.
At around 7.50 p.m., Ramie changed the “employer” section of her Facebook account to “may die 2day.” Later at 10:34 p.m., Ramie posted, “im bored,” and then 18 minutes later, “ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhh.”
The little girl's final post was 11:28 p.m., and read “tear gas seriasly,” which is thought to reference the SWAT team that had surrounded the building attempting to restrain her mom.

As the drama played out on the social networking site, the children's grandmother responded: "I’m here for you guys. no reason to be afraid."
Tragically, three shots rang out at around 11.45 p.m., and police found the body of Grimmer and her two injured children.
Grandmother Mary Lee Shepherd claims her daughter-in-law had a history of mental problems and she and her son, Dale Grimmer had contacted social workers three times because they were worried she would harm the children.

Oh those poor kids. And to have the grandmother post replies on facebook. Who knows what was really

Needs food stamps to feed family but is paying for Internet so they can have Facebook? Facebook and Internet are luxuries, not necessities. Mental illness killed these children, not economy.

The mother had been reported to Protective Services last year when they were found living in a tent on the beach. She was cleared of neglect. She was reported other times, yet cleared. Government agencies have to care enough to save these children.

She was denied because she didn't finish filling out the paperwork and then skipped her appointments.

what a horribly sad story. Obviously this child had a totally unhappy life and there must have been some serious history for her to think that there was a possibility that she was going to die. Poor soul.

If that's your logic i'm beginning to think you're just as mentally ill as this woman was...

I am sick to DEATH of this class warfare nonsense! She killed her children because she is mentally ILL! Stop blaming others...we will all eventually need to pay higher taxes, for our country is going BROKE. If that happens, no one will eat!

This girl was updating her facebook account WHILE she was being held hostage by her MOM? Very sad situation.
