Susan Smith, 1995

My children wanted me, needed me. And now I can’t help them.

I would like to say to whoever has my children, that they please, I mean please bring 'em home to us where they belong.

I wanted to end my life so bad and was in my car ready to go down that ramp into the water, and I did go part way, but I stopped. I went again and stopped. I then got out of the car and stood by the car a nervous wreck.
