Killing Angels

A big tragedy in Texas happened last week.

A mother—25-year-old-- was found hanged in her trailer home. Before she hanged herself she also hung her four daughters (5,3,2 years-old, and 8 month-old). The youngest, an infant, was still alive when found.
In reality, the mother was little more than a "child" herself.

Texas has had a lot of recent tragedies with mothers killing their own children.
I got an e mail from a friend who lost her four-year-old daughter to cancer. Every time she reads about parents that have killed their children she gets heartbroken—she would do anything to have her daughter back in life. Every day is a reminder for her; when she sees other children playing and laughing, every day she thinks different thoughts marking the childhood progress that will never be, such as “today Kathy would start school...”

What is wrong with our world? Why are too many so mean to our children?
They are our angels from above that come down with so much unconditional love. They are innocent and only want to give us joy (and grey hair—by the way, we have great coloring products today)
Are we so busy that we miss all the mothers’ signs of depression? And why are we having so many depressed, sick people anyway? Is there something about the society we’ve created devoid of morals, or with “relative morality”?

Texas has seen a number of child killings by mothers in recent years.
Less than five years earlier, another Hudson Oaks family was torn apart when Dee Etta Perez, 39, shot her three children, ages 4, 9 and 10, before killing herself.
Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family's Houston bathtub in 2001. In 2003, Deanna Laney beat her two young sons to death with stones in East Texas, and Lisa Ann Diaz drowned her daughters in a Plano bathtub.
Dena Schlosser killed her 10-month-old by severing the child's arms with a kitchen knife in 2004.
All four of those women were found innocent by reason of insanity. Yates initially was convicted of capital murder, but that verdict was overturned on appeal.
