Tragic, but I don't understand why her children lined up to be executed, what sort of power or control did she have ?? the work of a very sick mind, cold hearted and inexplicable

I don't believe this woman suddenly decided that life for herself and her children wasn't worth living. There had to be signs that something wasn't right within that household. There is no mention of the father of the children, other family members, or friends in this article. Why wouldn't a neighbor help three children asking for help? Why didn't the children fight back? This was no act of love. She didn't have to killed her children just because she didn't want to live anymore.

Horrible story ... but what is the STIR?? Reading some of the other headlines makes this publication look like all the other tabloids you find at the checkout counter (Just wondering). Brings to mind a local story in our area where a mother started a house fire that killed her four small children.

This is so disturbing,.I cant imagine for the life of me how she could have killed all her chidren in that fashion. I dont understand the neighbors, they could have saved 3 of those children. People without empathy. I would think that the mother had a breakdown or a existing mental condition, no sane mother would do something so horrifying. May they all rest in peace.

Dooms day zealots top my list of folk most likely to kill themselves, family members and others. The Rev. Jim Jones managed to wipe out his religious followers. There have been lots of folk killed themselves and their whole families in really stupid ways some consider to be accidents. The stigma of suicide is so horrific that families will accuse their “worth-less” boyfriend or girlfriend of the “crime” when the fact is more like covering blood with blood. Some folk commit suicide rather than face cancer or some nasty disease even if the diagnosis may be incorrect. The escape from the intollerable justifies any measure of relief in their mind.

IT`S BEYOND BELIEF that any Mother/parent can line their children up and take their lives!IMHO..She must have been EXTREMELY MENTALLY ILL to do such an appalling act!..a A Mother`s instinct is unconditional love for her children..Sadly a lot of cases get missed..some people have no idea what goes on in their neighbourhood..some people don`t want to acknowledge it!:-(Their must have been signs)!.I write this as I watch my youngest little girl peacefully sleeping and just cannot imagine what must have been going on inside that women`s head!!:-(...God bless those children and all the family and friends remaining who are left to try and come to terms with it!

One has to wonder why they did not RUN, after the first child was shot
I had a man working with me in the sixties, when I was a GM, who was in the Regular German Army when Hitler came to power.
He tells a story that one day they were ordered to march around 50 civilian prisoners out into a field, where a trench had been opened by a dozer.
The Captain had them in lines of eight or ten, then he marched the first line to the edge of the trench.
He order the troops to SHOOT THEM. He said the troops looked at him and each other in disbelief and did not shoot, wondering WHY shoot civilians?.
The Captain pulled out his Luger and yelled SHOOT THEM or, I will SHOOT YOU!
They did, and the people fell into the trench. He said he could not believe the rest DID NOT RUN AWAY!. He said, they just stood there, an animal will run from danger but those people just did as ordered. He said line after line just walked to the edge as ordered, to be shoot
A few weeks later SS Troops took over the prison camp and his Battalion was sent to the front in Poland.
Amazing isn't it? .
