Only a child could be this brutal

Your support makes all the difference.A welcome antidote to all the 'heart-warming' letters from kids you see shared, this Valentine's card is wonderfully malevolent.
"I <3 you. From nobody." it says succinctly, written by a six-year-old to his stepmother and shared by his big brother on Reddit.
Users have suggested the card was in fact a veiled attempt to show love for the stepmother without offending the real mother, or else simply intended to be anonymous, but I like to think this kid is just a complete jerk and goes around ruining people's days.
It's certainly a contrast from the other child-written letters that have popped up on Imgur lately, including one inviting a girl over to "come and eat cheeses with me" and another addressed to the mailman just so he had something to open for once.
