#Massachusetts #Crime #Murder
Welcome to Brandon’s America! He and his voters need to be held accountable!
50 million aborted kids so far. No surprise here 🤟
Medication. You need some.
@Bayley I He’s a Russian bot. That is the only explanation for what is happening here. Think about it.
@Runner Go honestly I hope so.
This loon comments on every video known to man and never makes sense. This would have happened no matter who the president is. I’ve still yet to see a president worth voting for.
Jesus Christ is real and he’s coming back soon! Repent of your sins. ❤️☦️❤️
50 million aborted kids so far. Ain’t no surprise here 🤟
@Shaolin Soldier
Are miscarriages considered supernatural abortions?
@Ikwik I’m pretty sure he’s coming back as the RAT.
Hail Lucifer!
Cult warriors are out in full force.
NeckBeard
?
These tragedies are what happen in a post-Trump America. Disgusting
@Somnus Waltz Why don’t you?
@MsMollah no you
You hate Trump, we get it…but this has been going on forever, before and after him. Sorry you can’t blame him for this too…lol
@Sophia B mind your business
@Somnus Waltz You’re just mad someone proved you wrong lmao
He forgives her? No good father would ever say this.
They forgive black women to. Out if the 50 million aborted kids..black women have the most🤟
@Mittie Jackson You need to be slapped for real
@Fred Morris and he’s got a million dollars coming his way. One day you’ve got a wife, three kids, and a mortgage and the next day your wife’s gone, your kids are gone, your single again and you’re about to become a millionaire. Talk about a twist of fate.
@Jose Bro Excellent point
Maybe years from now, but not so quickly ?
Hindsight, the wife should of been separated from her children until she was out of her psychosis phase.
Hindsight. Don’t impregnate a crazy chick.
@Crystle Lake Farm I highly doubt you’re a parent, to make a horrible statement like this.
@Indigo dad is suspect…
@Shapie Nails hindsight 101
Evidently you didn’t know enough what was going on with her mind and it may have been as simple as treating a thyroid condition or other autoimmune system condition, anemia, either of these things are more prevalent in women than men and it can be frustrating to have to deal with it alone , believe me I know firsthand I have one, it can make you tired nerve wrecked fatigued along with other systems that can work on the cognitive badly
Say R.I.P and keep it moving. He’s not her caretaker and tried his best.
Where was the support this mother so desperately needed??? Proper support.
Support? She killed her 3 childeen
@Goofy She wouldn’t have if there had been some type of intervention since it was known that she was having issues
Cuntinual excuses. 50 million aborted no surprise here 🤟
@hlambrou1 That goes for most murderers.
@hlambrou1 The USA doesn’t have that type of support because Republicans don’t want it.
Forgive her???? What an outrage and disgrace to the vitims!!
Humans can forgive.
God does forgive, through Redemption, with His Almighty Grace.
Forgive the mommy’s they committed 50 million aborted kids 🤟
How?
Why?
Americans constantly shove “Christianity” down everyone’s throat, but when someone actually practices Jesus’ teachings and forgives, they come out spitting hate as one can see in the comments of this video. The woman was sick, suffering from mental illness the way any of suffer from physical illness. She should be forgiven as Jesus would have forgiven her. What shouldn’t be forgiven are those who do the unspeakable without the excuse of being sick, like those who work for price-gouging pharmaceutical companies that murder children out of greed.
Andrea Yates Husband.
What am I missing? He said nothing about forgiving his wife.
@Viv T This guy is 100% evil and THAT is the only thing that bothers you?!
@Runner Go You and I know nothing about them, so I’m gonna refrain from calling him evil until we know more. He is greedy, maybe, and perhaps he is taking advantage of the situation but can’t blame him for not saying no to free money.
Click bait!
How can he forgives her that quick?
Absolute SIMP
It just isn’t fair , it isn’t right … the innocent precious babies that are given to those that do this while woman like myself want nothing more but to be a mom and go without. Breaks my heart 💔💔💔
@A Blessed Woman thanks for that ❤️🩹 I haven’t
50 million aborted kids so far. No surprise here 🤟
Get a dog 🐝 otch. 🤟
@Shaolin Soldier yeah , smart but I have 3 … human kids are not the same 🙄
I am a mother. I understand what you are saying and thought the same when I heard this news. Only if those kids were adored to those who didn’t have children…… innocent 5, 3, and 7 months old arghhhh just that one second, if someone else was there to help ……o suspect the husband
Post partum depression or something like it.
The father and mother should equally share parental duties and household work. And if the father knew that his wife was symptomatic of psychosis, mental illness, and/or other physiological conditions contributing to her parenting problems, he should have been responsible enough to take over parenting responsibilities and get his wife institutionalized mental health treatment. He should be partially culpable for child endangerment and neglect when knowing his wife had symptoms that endangered THEIR children.
Women are not sole homemakers and forced-birthing machines!!! The stress on women should be taken into consideration. More mothers get slapped with child abuse charges than fathers, even if the fathers resides in the same home.
Domestic violence isn’t only physical violence; in some cases, it is also emotional violence (even if the law doesn’t codify it in all jurisdictions). Law enforcement should be investigating the father and his relationship with his family as well.
@KARIM Benzene not blaming the man but something is not making sense.
@Michael Gutierrez You sound really triggered, I mean guilty.
You have no idea how their household worked. You’re making a ton of assumptions that are not founded in any evidence or known facts about this family.
I agree with you.
Gayle is right. First of all every other year she has gone through pregnancy- and sounds like the father works from home for Microsoft. He must have totally distanced himself from day/night duties of taking care of the infants in the name of “working”. The dangers of prolonged lack of quality sleep should not be ignored. The father should have gotten help for this mother – recover from ppp without burdening her with caring for infants all by herself. Little kids ages 5, 3, and seven months – that’s too much for a mother to handle without 24 hr help
The husband says in his statement that, his relationship with his wife was wonderful and that it grew diametrically stronger as her condition worstened….so he was aware and knew she had a “condition”, and that it was getting worst, so why weren’t precautionary measures put in place?? Doctors, mental health professionals, medication, extra help at home, hospitalization, surveillance, removal of the children for a brief period of respit??? Clearly he just admitted he was aware of her mental state, why were the Red Flags ignored, by everyone involved?? This is indeed a tragic event, RIP Sweet Angels. I’m a mother of 3, I too had an experience with Postpartum Depression but not to this degree. I had support from women in my family and my doctor who spotted the signs right from the start. I was lucky, with the proper treatment and intervention I was able to recover quickly.
No one is being held accountable and 3 kids are gone nobody wants to go to prison unreal
@Theresa75 Don’t be so naive. The man lost his entire world because he left them alone with her knowing the risk.
@Dan crazy how idiotic people can be. I could already judge that from her profile pic
@Dan stop Fing bringing political divide into everything you moronn
@Jolawrence this has everything to do with politics because they’re making it out to be exactly that. Rather than calling a killer a killer they’re trying to blame it on some sort of thing that millions of women had. Maybe these libs got a point about abortion and should instead abort the mother rather than the baby.
May God look down on this family😢🫂
This “god” character is a pretty poor excuse for a supreme being.
The father did’n do nothing about it!…..WHY?
How do you know? Who told you that?
Yeah now he is gonna retire off the gofundme money … why does need money when he had lost all of his children ? Seems narcissistic. I think he is at fault
The grief of a father.
🙏
I Honestly can’t understand it i would be unstoppablely murderous.
Postpartum is real, if only the husband, family and friends had known and stepped in.
“If only xyz stepped in“ can be said about most murderers including Bryan Kohberger. At the end of the day she murdered her children.
PURE EVIL. and the husband knew something about a spiral effect
@Veins yeah but people with postpartum depression or psychosis can sometimes display symptoms of it and some people are able to catch on. when bryan was arrested it took everyone by surprise. that’s what the commenter is trying to say.
May I inform the ignorant medical field & general public – there is such a thing as post partum depression that can be very severe – in my experience medical doctors just ignored it and I don’t think even today there is much teaching or understanding. I was thrilled to be pregnant with my first child, easy pregnancy, about 24 hrs of labor & was so happy immediately after the birth of my beautiful baby. Depression (I personally think it has to do with a hormone imbalance that happens during & after pregnancy) set in & these were some of my thoughts: “I don’t want the baby, I want to give it away…but who would want a new born baby – in my mind, no one would. No one spoke about in my day, I was lucky in many ways with supportive family and was able to get back to my old self in a relatively short period (it can go on for months) of time. Family members must look for clues and take over some of overwhelming burdens on a new Mom. DO NOT BE QUICK TO JUDGE
Don’t be quick to judge someone who strangled their children to death?
People who commit suicide are weak! In most cases
So where was the support for the mother, why didnt family get her help?, why didnt her husband get help for his wife, this could have been prevented. Family always loves and cares after the facts.
How do you know that there was no support?
@KARIM Benzene Those babies would be alive still, she need help and they failed to help her.
@323mell You say that about all the other murderers with mental health struggles or just her?
@KARIM Benzene Something tells me you need to be locked up due to your mental health. You are WEIRD!
I honestly don’t know how this man can fully recover, having lost his entire family… 3 young children and his wife, who will probably spend the rest of her life in jail?
The 3 little ones have made a lasting mark to millions across the country and will be in our hearts forever. May they find comfort in God’s arms.
RIP 🙏
Get over 50 million aborted kids. It can be done 🤟
@Jose Bro not everyone is the same some can deal with traumatizing events differently, people also commit suicide .
He’s probably planning revenge lol I couldn’t forgive her
I’m gonna suspect that he married someone who he knew was disturbed and people who marry people like that are probably not very stable themselves.
@Jose Bro Rusty Yates was a thoughtless, selfish man.

@Dan Interesting. And who or what is your god?
@Bvokey88 None of the religious ones, that I know of. God of the universe is something that may or may not be conscious of what it does but it creates a common denominator of what everything is. It may also be a byproduct of something created in a different dimension that we will never know or understand of. Carl Segan best explains it by using a 2 dimensional example. If something only lives in 2 dimensions, then it would know there is something acting on it but it would never be able to understand or study it. There’s something acting on this universe, which may be our “god” but there’s no way to know or ever understand it.
@Dan Sounds abstract but at least you appear have some intuition that there is more than meets the eye. I do however think you can come to know, or understand that “something” that is acting on the universe. I’m not making a truth claim about that, I’m just giving my opinion. I think some people can know things that some others do not know.
@Bvokey88 well sure I know you’re full of crap but I’m the only one observing that right now. So yeah I could be abstract but at the same time regardless of what may be out there one thing we know for sure god has unlimited or very unusual control of his creations. Either he’s not actively involved or we must assume that something more than meet the eyes involved. Either way what’s left is a lot of pain and misery for those left behind to witness whatever it is that god has done.
@Dan You seem to know a lot of things. You “know I’m full of crap” – Which I’m not, but I’m also not surprised by your behavior and treatment of others. But more curious is your claim that one thing we “know for sure” is that god has some particular and unlimited control of his creations. You seem to have many assertions to truth I just don’t know from what ground all these truths are sourced from.
Forgive!???! Nahhh she getting gunned down execution style
Execute the father , automatic death penalty no trial.
🕊 📖 📯 👑 ➕ 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🛐 🛐 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 💐 🌼 🌻 🌸 🏵 💔 😢 😭
Simp
I think people should know that it is okay to not forgive someone who did such an appalling act
GOD’S WORD IS THE TRUTH AND GOD says forgiveness seven times seventy. People better listen to God and not you
@April Torres I promise I understand what you’re saying,I somewhat agree too. But Jesus forgives for the same thing this woman did. Im pretty sure I couldn’t
Thanks Sigmund
I agree.
“Die with courage” definitely the grief talking cause that’s a stretch
Grief like 50 million aborted kids. and cuntinual excuses
No, you pos. He said that because the 8 month old continued to stay alive for days after the incident. His son has died a warrior and you better respect it.
Exactly. How did he know they died with courage, if he wasn’t there when it happened ??
MOTHERS, FATHERS, HUSBANDS, GRANDPARENTS…..
Please listen to Mothers when they need comfort and support. Be loving, listen, find the best help for them, for the sake of their mental health and the babies’ safety!
NOONE WANTS TO UNDERSTAND!
Post Partum depression is life changing.
If you cannot help, you can still listen and be supportive.
The worst thing you can do is invalidate her feelings.
@kchilz32 nothing justifies hurting children; they are innocent.
@Simon Calrisian 🎯 👏🏻 👏🏻 💯 truth!!!
@Alisha I didn’t know she had a child die.
@Ikwik that’s what they said on the news
@kchilz32 on a case by case bases that should be seriously evaluated. Just because it is a mental issue doesn’t mean the children should be left in that kind of dangerous situation.
it’s all cool we can make new kids…
HowEver , chiLdren are not items … for the father to tell about the amout of his “love” , children , people are persons , autonomous persons , so , quick kids will become independent , leave parents , and , as if nothingue happened , or parents will die , having children is a roller coaster ride for once emotions , with deceptions , griefs , and , joy , but , one must know is it worth or not , worth trying even or not , and , one must be aware of his position , where is he , who is he , often , mum , while arguing with dad , many years ago , was telling such things as : people did ToLd me that You MiLoshevitch are menthaLy iLL disordered ( crazy ) and that i ought to NOT have chiLdren with you …. and that s too part of the equazzion ( equation ) is a Thing in this short Life Trying worth trying doing for Later To reguret it , i think it s NOT worth even trying , espessially after a serteinn age ( 45 or so ) … !
Post partum psychosis is a real thing. It needs to be treated as seriously as it is
Excuses are even more real 🤗
@Nathan no ones making excuses, or trying to justify what the mother did. Shelly was just reiterating that postpartum psychosis needs just as much light shed on it, as say postpartum depression, for obvious reasons. i wasn’t aware of any post-pregnancy related mental illnesses besides depression until this case. & to top it off, those who have bipolar disorder etc. are at higher risk for it which is why it probably doesn’t happen to every new mother.
@bigphatemergy Still doesn’t justify murdering your own children, hun.
@Nathan don’t be so bitchy, Nathan
WHO is going to be accountable? That’s the bigger question isn’t it? Everyone knew she was suffering from post partum psychosis – its real, its serious just as any psychosis, schizophrenic or delusional disorder. Its serious and should be treated as such (serious) rather than turn your head look the other way and pretend it will go away with a few pills, exercise and prayers.
As she’s just another very-sick person on this planet of sinners, I could forgive her for being human; but it’d take a lot more time and work before I’d be able to forgive her for such a heinous act of utter evil. For me, if someone doesn’t truly repent and ask for forgiveness and prove they mean it, then it becomes infinitely more difficult to even consider forgiving them.
So very sad.
I like your comment because it’s simple and non-judgmental, unlike most of the comments on here.
@Jose Bro I agree. People love to get up on their soap boxes & judge 💯💯💯
Regardless of her problem, if she thought about murder she needed to seek mental help. There’s no help now except life in prison
she should have never been left alone with them if they knew she was mentally ill . it’s the fathers fault as much as the mothers . she should have seemed helped
He’s as crazy as she is. How were these kids not protected from their parents? How did no one notice mom was off her rocker?
I used to work at the Medicaid office and one of my co-workers had depression and had even spent some time in a mental hospital when she was in her twenties. They learn to hide it well and live their day to day lives putting on a show. It’s very hard. I hope Lyndsay can get the care she needs whether it’s in prison or wherever. Prayers for her husband as well.
Agreed. Not guilty by reason of insanity is simply wrong. At least in her case…
The husband knew and she was a nurse. Something doesn’t make sense
If you think the parents are crazy, you should read all the comments here.
@Jose Bro almost everyone depressed. Depression doesn’t make people act insane. This just helps the stigma.
how can this guy forgive his wife for murdering his own 3 children?! I’d file divorce and make sure she stays in jail
Make sense. His wife heartless killer
bots everwhere
Andrea Yates 2.0.
He sounds like Andrea Yates husband who was aware of his wife’s mental health but did nothing so he helped contribute to their deaths. Yates husband moved on very quickly remarried and had more kids which is sad because he should be in prison as well
These are my thoughts as well. He will move on.
I would never forgive he is a better man than myself
RIP sweet babies ❤
😳
Some things are unforgivable.
Pity our judicial system is a business and she is now on our tab.
The husband has no right to forgive his wife for killing the three children. Only the children themselves can do that. IMO it’s madness to forgive her for the ruination of his life, but it’s his life. This is the problem of “Christian” forgiveness. It makes a mockery of everything decent and kind. And no, I don’t believe that punishment even exists. Some people need to be locked away or killed to protect the innocent.
YOUR comment makes no sense
Just like you have no right on speaking on someone else’s family
He’s not “Christian.” He’s an ape that lost his mind.
I believe you have the wrong view of Christian forgiveness. Christian forgiveness doesn’t mean everyone avoids punishment. In fact the Bible describes the government as having authority over evildoers. Romans 13:4 – For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.
God does not forgive children killers nor will her prison inmates forgive this….just the way it is
Many making excuses for the mother. I don’t care how depressed you are, you don’t hurt your kids.
And you don’t forgive the mother for hurting your kids. Russian bots are flooding this video trying to say both the father and mother are innocent.
@Runner Go each of them where responsible for this horrific crime
I was a new mother at a very difficult time in my life- and my baby never slept- it’s like I never slept for over a year and had to hold down a job, take care of a terminally ill parent and a prescription addict parent, my marriage was bad- no help from my husband or anyone. I was very depressed, but never went into psychosis thankfully. Depression and psychosis are different things. People can hallucinate with psychosis. No one can understand it unless they have experienced it. Postpartum depression is much more common than psychosis.
Divorce my due.
We ain’t in it
Omg the coverage of the dad to give his comment’s what a remarkable man !! My heart is broken for him total devastation !! Dear God 😥💔
Dumb dumb dumb
Poor little souls! 💕
Feminist: Men are pure evuI
Russian bot
You can always tell when the killer is yt because no picture accompanies the story. I had to look at 4 stories to find a pic.
orly?
Post partum. Nice Try. She is a vicious deviant killer of her own children. A danger to society and that thug should be locked away for good. Stop trying to put roses on it.
That weirdo killed them.
America is full of crazy people… killing for small or no reason at all…
Not full of. There are some.
Mental health at it’s peak in these times of the end
Unreal unreal she kills her 3 kids and the father raises 800k on go fund me and she’s not in a real jail she’s hospitalized after taking 3 lives. Gtfoh AMERICA WHAT OTHER PERSON DOES THAT HAPPEN FOR!!!
This woman didn’t exhibit any warning signs before this happened? I am not familiar with the case, guess I need to read up on it. What a tragedy. Does anyone notice this seems to be happening more and more lately??
That’s because men are acting like children themselves. They don’t put their lives on hold for raising kids ….. but expect the women to work, earn for herself, also do household chores and raise infants
If all there family members knew she had a mental issue why wasn’t something done?
🙏 God save and keep all families. Rest in Paradise. 😢
GOD bless this father and I pray that he can go on from this awful tragedy!
“God Bless…”? Are you insane? There is no god. If there was, this wouldn’t have happened. Think about that.
So sad
post partum psychosis is real. listen to women, pay attention to and help them after labor. it’s no joke, but prompt treatment can prevent tragedy like this!
Few in this World understand the spiritual World. Psychology and psychiatry, especially. And the supposedly scientific world, focused on the human body.
The demons tear at the wounds of the human heart [the spiritual one] hidden within and then offer them temptations to escape their hearts.
Emotional trauma does NOT exist in the mind but the human heart.
Why is it always woman doing these things?
Allegedly killed her kids…
That’s correct.
All we have is hub’s narrative & his GoFundMe is approaching $1million & he”s already talking about his new purpose in life & babes aren’t even buried yet.
My prayers are for the mother
Not convinced she did it. Very wordy statement. Children not even buried & talking of his new purpose.
It exists and it’s real this poor woman must have lost it completely when she realizes what she has done she won’t be able to live with it she must have been gone from everything strangling one kid after the other I mean it takes something I was in a domestic abusive relationship I was in and off medication i knew that I wasn’t going to stay with her dad in New York there she was an angel the love of my life the most beautiful baby I have ever seen I had no one the father did not want her but 🥅 wanted my baby one day I put my hands around her little neck to measure it I quickly realize I might endanger her I had that reflex but it’s hard for me to talk about it I did talk about it to my psychiatrist she Did nothing t judge me she knew how much I lived my baby but it haunted me I suffer from obsessive compulsive behavior anyway I left the jerk and moved to paris my daughter said is 22 a chess champion preparing her master at La Sorbonne university she is healthy she is beautiful I will never tell her so she if I put my hands around my baby’s neck for whatever reasons I was conscious enough to back away because iam not a killer or my post baby blue syndrome wasn’t to that anxiety level where you are hopeless and strangle your kids see it’s different the right or the wrong of course it is horrific to strangle your children one by one she was a psycho she did it discern between right gut and wrong she squeezed her hands around their little necks and the kids last moment was seeing their mom hurting them . Evil is everywhere in everyone
Thank you for sharing. You are a wonderful and strong mother. The society is cruel to women – men want woman to be equal contributor to the household expenses, corporations give min of 6 six weeks after delivering a baby, and yet for some reason cleaning cooking and nighttime baby duties are a “mother’s job “
Oh no I am absolutely devasted to learn the little baby passed away too. I was holding onto hope that he could still raise his son. Omg this is truly HEART BREAKING. RIP ANGELS
Having gone to the doctor for 4 years for mental health help, Nothing helps. I wish they had a euthenasia program for people like myself.
Ohhh Michelle you poor sweet young lady, I wish more than anything that I could help you and not by ending your life either, I’m shocked that in the 13 hours since your post not 1 person has said anything positive to you!
I can’t wrap my mind around how he’s forgiven her so quickly. Strange. The true victims here are those innocent babies. Rest in peace angels.
@Toys surprise Same. Almost excusing it. As though what she did wasn’t grotesque and barbaric.
Ritual voodoo
I agree. It is strange. I think there is more to the story than just the postpartum depression of the wife.
If ppd is that much dangerous moms can’t have custody of their babies after the birth
If he would have listen when told not to leave the kids with her and not be lazy about taking his kids with him they probably still be here.
Prayers
I can’t believe as a parent who lost his or her children and so quick to forgive even if his or her spouse did it. If it is so, there is only possible explanation I can think of, his love to his wife is way above love to his children. It led me to speculate if wellbeing of his children has been neglected all the time.
Some people are not meant to be parents. Period.
It is an absolute tragedy. The reaction of society is very interesting…When we see news about alcoholics, drug-addicted, and poor parents harming their children, we despise those people. We don’t try to understand. Maybe those people needed help, did not have money, were depressed, etc. When we see a crime involving a beautiful, educated couple, middle-high class, we try to explain, blame everyone around, and find an explanation that it is not their fault.
Yeah let’s blame the husband
Why is the target goal on the go fund me keep getting raised? Wow unreal
Trying to take advantage of his children death and retire from full time work. He is SICK I think
He married a monster. Sad.
Wow! I never killed my kids, or anyone else. I can’t imagine. That is unimaginable!
this is beyond heartbreaking. I can’t comprehend tragedies like this
What was the husband doing when the mother was in distress? He says he left for 20 mins to get dinner and this happened? Hmmmm I hope the police looks into the husband too
Why does he need all this gofundme money?
Look at him upping his gofundme campaign with sympathy gaining messages …… which father goes to setup a gofundme page immediately after losing 2 children? And now that he has lost the 3rd child too, why does need the money for?
This isn’t legal in Massachusetts??
So heartbreaking
There had to be signs….always
She WAITED until her husband left the house. That shows premeditation.
She should never see the light of day
She was lucid enough to strangle her children methodically which takes several minutes each while conveniently hey husband was away.
Only reason he forgives her is he is also guilty. Could have done something and didn’t because he is weak. Guilty.
It is entirely up to the individual involved to actively seek help (assuming it is even available). Even if someone notices something like severe depression- unless the person involved wants help and agrees to it (and finds it) – nothing can or will be done and most often – even when in their “sane” state mind you cannot convince them. Their families often look the other way – rather than face the truth Their delusions are every bit of reality to them – and nothing you can do will convince them otherwise – What a tragedy, what a shame – such beautiful babies!!! We need accountability. I think it’s a family member’s responsibility to bring this out into the open and stop pretending they are going to be ok – that it isn’t that bad, yet – so they can get the kind of help they need. They are NOT OK they need help. We need more funding and resources for mental illness but if someone doesn’t take the lead (much like an intervention) and insist they get help it won’t do much good. Unstable is unstable I don’t care how you look at it. Who is going to be accountable?
I would not have the heart to forgive, no matter how much I loved my spouse. The pain kids had to go through, they were killed by theirs mother(who supposed to be the safest place that anyone ask for). How must have they felt when they left the world. Though I understand she was sick, I am guessing, she was terribly sick to the point she killed them. This didn’t happen overnight. Dad supposed to take the hints and get her help or take the kids to the safe place for a awhile. This could be preventable. Poor babies. The horror they felt breaks my hearts. I hope they forgot everything and rest in peace in heaven. We are sorry as a society and as adults who couldn’t prevent these.
