The youngest child to die in British custody wrote a heart-breaking letter to his parents threatening to kill himself two weeks before his death.
Adam Rickwood was 14 when he was found by staff at a juvenile detention centre hanged by his shoe laces from a curtain pole.
The vulnerable teenager, who had a history of self-harming and was a regular cannabis user, had tried to take his life on a number of previous occasions.

I honestly believe drugs have played a large part in this boy's history of self-harming.
