This is what he found inside. |  | Sunday night, a 14-year-old girl with a rare medical condition sparked a social media frenzy, attempting to kill herself while updating the whole ordeal on Twitter. |  | Apparently, the happy new parents loved Twitter so much they decided to ruin their child's life forever. |  | The site's CEO has promised full personal archive access by the end of the year.
