It can happen anywhere...
Last night when I got home I noticed a bunch of police activity a few blocks down from my house. They had a large section of the block roped off with crime scene tape.
It turns out my neighbor killed her two children ages 6 and 9, She also attempted to kill herself by cutting her wrist. The mother was due in court this morning to arrange a parenting time schedule with her ex-husband but chose murder/suicide instead.
It's so hard to believe that this took place just a few blocks from my house. It was so hard seeing the crime scene tape this morning knowing it was there because two innocent children were murdered. I think it's so selfish of people who want to commit suicide to take other people, especially children, with them.RIP Liam and Madigan.
Any thoughts? Here's a link to the story. http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-castle-rock-mom-to-face-murder-charges-in-childrens-deaths-20110523,0,2994681.story
Re: It can happen anywhere...
So sad! I really can't comprehend the motivation behind these types of crimes.
There was a murder in our neighborhood yesterday too...luckily not a child, but still disturbing.
I am sitting here with my mouth wide open in disbelieve. How can a "parent" do something like that?
Me and DH were talking about something like this the other day. A friend of ours sister who has 2 kids decided to move across the country with her new boyfriend. She signed the kids over to her mom becaue it would be "easier." I told dh there is no way in hell my life would be easier without my kids. They are what I wake up for every morning.

Wow people absolutely disgust me. I hope that she gets what she deserves. It makes me sick at the thought of a child hurting.
Mo you deserve to be a parent more than anyone I know. I'm still thinking about and praying that your miracle will happen soon!
This seriously breaks my heart. Another innocent child (children in this case) at the hands of a parent. I can never understand the why behind it all.
The news still talks about the little boy who was murdered by his mother last weekend, and I can't even look at it anymore.

Cases like this are horrible, but always make me think of the number of kids who experience violence in the home who we don't see. Or the kids who don't have enough food to eat that we don't see starving every day.
