Imagine how her son felt.

It’s alarming to me how many of you are saying things like, “that poor woman. It must have been very bad for her to make that choice.” C’mon y’all! This very clearly sounds like a tragic case of Munchausen by proxy. CPS most likely was investigating the family because of suspicions she was responsible for his…

I can’t believe all the people here who feel sorry for her. She killed a 5 year old child. That's not ok.

A lot of disabled people have spoken out about this phenomenon. Needless to say, it’s pretty terrifying to see, especially when the child and the person have the same disability.

This woman murdered her five year old son. I’m sure she felt she was in a hopeless position but let’s not forget the fact that she made the decision to take her son’s life as well as her own.

We don’t know that it was her only option. It’s the option she took.

Go read the replies on the post about the father who threw his (apparently able bodied) child off the top of seat building, and then himself. You won’t find any sympathetic, “poor him”, there. Yet on this post, and other posts about disabled children and adults being murdered, you’ll find sympathy.

Can we cut the sympathy “poor mom of a disabled kid” bullshit? I’m already seeing it in the comments. Killing your child is not okay. This mother is no more sympathetic than a mother (or father!) who kills her able bodied child because of stress or whatever other reason.
