Thanks, Four Play. You're right, it's still depressing, but much less graphic. Thanks for indulging this PH with a weak stomach.Four Play wrote:I changed the title for you.

Yes this did happen then. My parents know a lady in her 80's who spent most of her life in a mental hospital for killing her whole family...a bunch of kids and her husband now determined to be PPD.Cousin Baxter wrote:What the hell is going on these days? Did this kind of stuff happen 30-40 years ago. I mean this kind of CRAZY things are happening here on a daily basis. I know nowadays the media can cover every incident all over the globe but it just seems like things get worse by the day.

And that's the thing, women who have no history of mental illness, individually or in their family, can suffer this. Pregnancy causes a whole lot of chemical changes in the brain, and it can strike the most 'unlikely' candidates.ph4ever wrote:ToplessRideFL wrote:I am telling you....

the thing about ppd is that it can strike ANYONE so there's really no way to determine who will have it.
However I do think that if a woman has had a history of ppd there needs to be some sort of additional monitoring set up to protect her or the children.
Dallas Morning News wrote:Dena Schlosser's capital murder trial ended in a hung jury Saturday, with one juror firmly against 10 others who had concluded she was not guilty by reason of insanity and one panelist who would not decide.
State District Judge Chris Oldner declared the mistrial about 5:45 p.m., after jurors said for the third time that they were hopelessly deadlocked. Jurors said the man who voted guilty refused to participate in deliberations.
They deliberated more than 40 hours over four days to decide whether Ms. Schlosser was guilty of killing her 10-month-old daughter, Maggie Schlosser. Ms. Schlosser's defense said that she was not guilty because she did not know right from wrong at the time she cut off her daughter's arms with a kitchen knife.

The woman had/has a brain tumor that has effected her mental state. Shouldn't that be a consideration when placing her for the remainder of her life?fins2theleft wrote:this really ticks me off!!Four Play wrote:Today, a judge ruled that the mother was not guilty by reason of insanity.

Not denying what she did was horrid...but we aren't talking a cold blooded, planned murder for personal gain. (Such as what Susan Smith did when drowing her boys so she could run away with a boyfriend.)
