Does anyone remember the case where a mother murdered her 5 children? She was found guilty & appealed. On the news (I think last night) she won the appeal & was found innocent on the grounds of temporary insanity, 'cos she suffered from post natal depression. I find that disgusting... and it really makes my blood boil. Children are special treasures & they are our future, but what kinda messages are being sent by cases like this one?

That happened around the time my daughter was born and I'd get seriously spooked when lying her back in the bath.

That woman was a seriously sick puppy for a long time before the incident and alot of people knew that. There was no way she should have been left alone with those kids - and the husband etc are culpable for the murders I believe. Given that she wasn't normally alone with them is proof enough that they knew what a risk she was.

It's very sad, but a stack of people let those kids down.

I just don't understand how a parent can do something like that to his/her own children.
