In a cascade of soul-shattering disclosures that have gripped the nation, leaked diary pages and tearful testimonies from Jacqueline “Mimi” Torres-Garcia’s young friends reveal the 11-year-old’s desperate yearning to escape her torment through fantasies of becoming an “angel with wings,” as she endured weeks of zip-tie restraints, starvation, and isolation at the hands of her mother Karla Garcia and accomplices. A crayon-scrawled entry, dated August 12, 2024—just weeks before her death from malnourishment—reads in shaky child’s script: “Mommy hurts me bad. I wish I was angel flying high in sky. Angels no tie no hungry. Take me home God.” The notebook, seized from a basement tote alongside Mimi’s mummified remains on October 8, 2025, has been digitized and leaked via an anonymous whistleblower to CT Public, surging to 35 million views on X and TikTok with the hashtag #MimiAngelWish.

The diary— a purple spiral with unicorn stickers, Mimi’s favorite—contains 42 entries from May to August 2024, chronicling her descent into despair after being withdrawn from Pulaski Middle School for “homeschooling.” Pages detail “bad days” with drawings of stick-figure angels hovering over a bound child, captioned “Fly away from zip hurts” and “No food = angel food?” One August 5 entry, amid what warrants describe as a 14-day starvation regimen, pleads: “Dear God, make me angel tonight. Wings to fly to Nana. Mommy says I’m bad but angels good.” Forensic handwriting analysis by Enigma Labs confirms authenticity, with crayon smudges matching Mimi’s fingerprints lifted from the bin. The leak, sourced from a Farmington PD evidence locker via a disgruntled clerk, coincides with unsealed juvenile witness statements from October 30, where classmates recount Mimi’s “angel dances”—twirling in the condo yard with arms outstretched, whispering prayers as Karla Garcia watched from the balcony.

Sofia Ramirez, the 12-year-old neighbor whose October 12 testimony went viral last week, elaborated in a November 1 follow-up interview: “Mimi said angels don’t get tied or go hungry—they fly to heaven with ice cream clouds. She’d spin in circles, arms like wings, saying ‘Take me now’ when her mom yelled.” Sofia, clutching a drawing Mimi gifted her—a haloed girl escaping chains—broke down: “She gave it to me July 4, said ‘Keep for when I’m angel.’ I thought it was pretend.” Another friend, 11-year-old Lila Chen from Pulaski, recalled secret fence notes: “Angel Mimi needs help—wings broken.” Lila’s mother, alerted in June 2024, called DCF anonymously but was told “no open case”—the tip buried amid homeschool exemptions.

The revelations amplify the horror detailed in October 28 warrants: Mimi, weighing 42 pounds at death, was confined to a corner on pee pads, zip-tied for infractions like “spilling juice,” and starved for “two weeks to teach respect,” per Karla’s confession. Aunt Jackelyn Garcia, 28, photographed the bound girl—entries note “Auntie says smile for angel pic”—texting them to Karla as “discipline proof.” Boyfriend Jonatan Nanita, 30, admitted dragging the body post-mortem September 19, 2024, stashing it in a holiday-decorated bin through eviction July 2025, then dumping it in New Britain. A January 14, 2025, DCF video call leak—using a niece as imposter—closed a sibling neglect probe without visits, despite the child’s stuttered “I’m fine.”

Mimi’s angelic fixation was her lifeline. Diary pages, interspersed with unicorn doodles, escalate: July 20: “Angel wings hurt from zip—fly soon?” August 1: “No food day 5—angels eat stars. Mommy says bad girls no stars.” A final entry, August 28—three weeks pre-death—shows a haloed self-portrait with “Home with God” in purple crayon, tears staining the page. Forensic ink dating aligns with starvation timeline; medical examiner Dr. James Gill noted “angel fantasies common in abused children seeking escape.” Sofia’s drawing gift, now evidence, mirrors the diary: Mimi as winged figure breaking chains, captioned “For Sofia—fly together.”

The family’s facade crumbled under scrutiny. Karla, posting “blessed mom” TikToks with siblings, ignored Mimi’s isolation—homeschool forms forged as “curriculum complete.” Neighbors saw “angel dances” but chalked to “imagination”; one told WFSB: “She’d twirl at dusk, arms wide, mouthing words—we waved, thinking cute.” DCF’s 2022 custody grant to Karla—post-relative placement—lacked home studies; 2024 tips on “withdrawn child” closed remotely. The bin’s discovery October 8—tipped by an evicted tenant—unleashed raids yielding the diary, iPad videos, and DCF call.

Arraignments November 3 were visceral: Karla, pleading not guilty, claimed “Mimi drew angels from church”; Nanita, mute; Jackelyn, wailing “She wanted to fly—I helped!” Trial February 2026—life for murder, 20 years for cruelty. Grandparents Victor Torres and Maria Garcia, suing for sibling custody, launched “Mimi’s Wings” foundation—$300,000 raised for abuse hotlines, angel-themed therapy kits.

Reforms accelerate: Gov. Lamont’s “Mimi’s Legacy Act”—in-person homeschool audits, AI voice-match for calls—passed Senate November 2, 35-0. Blumenthal’s “Angel Alerts” federal bill mandates school tip lines, teacher training on “escape fantasies.” Child Advocate probe, due November 20, audits 1,000 homeschool cases; Ghio’s confirmation fast-tracked. Clark Street memorial—purple wings sculpture—drew 1,500 November 2, chants “Fly high, Mimi.”

Sofia’s words linger: “She wished to be angel… I see her wings in dreams.” For Mimi—the unicorn dreamer silenced by cruelty—diary and dances are epitaph and indictment. As Karla’s denials fade against purple-scrawled pleas, the shock isn’t the wish to fly—it’s that no one caught her fall. Connecticut rises: Angel wings for the whispered, before more dreams turn to dust.
