Another family destroyed ...

[Ann]

How many more families are going to be destroyed in this way - there have been a spate of them in the past 6 weeks, it so sad and seems to be an epidemic, that a father kills all his family.

I was thinking just the same thing-how there have been several in the last few weeks. Its so sad and I cant imagine what any father must be going through enough to make him kill his children.

I wasthinking the same, how it's becoming too frequent. Is there a copy-cat element? Less media coverage might help?

But he hasn't attempted to kill himself has he? I find that very odd. What happens to people to make them so desperate. I have always thought that no-one has the right to take anyone else's life from them. When they do it makes me wonder what has happened to them.

I've often thought "if that little bastard doesn't stop that I'll strangle him/her" but I can't imagine just what it would take to actually make me do it.

Who knows what makes them do it - the one who lived near to us was a truly loving father, everyone who knew him said so, its quite frightening that your mind could snap so much that you lose all sense of reality. Very sad.
