That is something I will never be able to understand. No matter how depressed you are, and no matter if you want to kill yourself, how can you want to kill defenseless children? What is the reason for it? Even in a deranged mind, what can the resaon be? When you are dead, you won't "care" what happens to the kids, who they live with...etc. So why? I really can't grasp it.

I agree ~max~, no matter what, I could never contemplate harming a child, especially my own.

Who knows what goes through these people's minds at times like that.....

Sadly there is no understanding the mind of someone with a mental illness.
We can only hope it never happens to us.

Though we can never say we wont have a mental illness , we can only hope we do not.

Yes leg - the brain can play havoc at the best of times, let alone when you're in the depths of destruction.

I feel for anyone with severe mental health problems or depression.

Hope those poor children rest in peace, bless 'em.

Unfortunately often all sense, sanity and reason vanish when a mental illness as severe as that takes hold, its an horrific crime and beyond comprehension, but that is what the mind can do x

Things like this i dont like to dwell on.Its far too distresssing.And its imposssible tounderstand , and can only cause hurt and distress the more you try to analyse it.


Just a deeply disturbing and very very sad thing .

God knows how the families left behind cope in a situation like that. Something you can never get over....
