this is so sad! What is happening to our world?

I saw this story today and see similar stories more often than I wish to see. It is sad that domestic disputes lead to one spouse or the other threatening the children and killing them just to hurt the other parent. It is not only sickening but heart-wrenching as well. My prayers are with the mother, the worst hurt in the world is the loss of a child. I am thankful I have mine, couldn't imagine losing them. My condolences and prayers are with the mother, family & friends and with the souls of the innocent children who were so cruely murdered by their own father.

It sounds to me like the mother did the killing. She probably had an affair, the husband busted her and said he's going to expose her and get custody of the kids, leaving her to be an unfit mother and making her pay alimony and child support. That's probably what really happened.

Sounds to me like you're nuts!!! What did she do, have them stand in line as she killed them?? Give me a break!!!

My thoughts are with the families...

My thoughts go out to the families.

BTW having postpartum depression is no excuse to go out and kill your husband and kids.
