‘Suicide’ mom bares anguish

The anguished mom of an aspiring film editor yesterday called her daughter’s breathtaking rescue from a Manhattan rooftop during a suicide bid a “nightmare” the family is struggling to understand.

Telly Ramos, 25, who was pulled to safety by two NYPD detectives as she teetered at the edge of her Essex Street building’s roof Friday, was taken to Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric ward, officials said.

She was grabbed and yanked backward by fast-moving NYPD detective Brian Glacken just as she launched herself off the roof.

The stunning rescue was caught in dramatic video and pictures as a crowd watched in horror — and then relief.

“This is really a nightmare,” said mom Carmelita Ramos, 60, her voice choked with emotion as she spoke by phone from her El Monte, Calif., home. “She just called on Father’s Day. We [told her] if she wanted to pursue her career and take a master’s degree, she should.

“I’m asking God why it happened to her. She’s loved, and doesn’t deserve what she’s suffering through now.

“We’re trying to figure out what happened.”

Ramos said her youngest child finished college at Northwestern University in 2009.

Her aspirations were already clear. The talented student was the writer and director of a short film called “New Sincerity” in 2009 — a “comedy about global warming,” according to the Web site of its producer.

Her mom and aunt said the young artist moved to New York to take a job as an assistant editor at Final Cut Inc., a prestigious post-production film company.

An editor at the firm said the young woman’s breakup with a boyfriend knocked her for a loop.

Building residents had told The Post the young woman was inconsolable Thursday night — heard crying and seen covered in blood from cuts on her left wrist and hand.

“She didn’t come to work, and we reached out to a network of her friends,” the editor said.

“She’s an incredible young woman . . . very, very talented and very, very smart — exceptionally so. She’s worked for us for about two years, and we’re very happy she’s employed here.”

The mom said family members are trying to fly to New York to comfort the young woman.

“We want to make sure she’s safe,” the emotional mom said.
