Quoting: ABADDON - APOLLYON . By the sounds of the names, sounds black, but not sure. Probaly going to lose home and lose everything, Would rather kill the family then see kids live in shelter or foster care. My theories only, But by theory was the ACTUAL background of another Mom in the news recently that killed her kids and those were the reasons. Raising a child as single mom = bearable raising 4 is very bad! I feel for those single moms. I am a single mother with four kids. There is nothing bad about it at all. |

According to the article, the mother shot 3 of her kids. The kids, AFTER being shot, go to the neighbors house to tell them that they HAD JUST GOTTEN SHOT!! Then, the mom CALLS THEM BACK to the house? The neighbors let them GO BACK? Each already having a gunshot wound, go BACK for more? |

Crystal meth? Also a possibility since it is so heavily abused but I tend to not think of it as the culprit in these types of scenarios because I, unfortunately, have had lots of friends addicted to meth and would they steal? yes. murder their children then commit suicide...not as much unless they were up for two weeks straight and had drug induced psychosis. But, to be sure, if someone found a pic of her and posted it here I could probably to you yea or nay. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 15631431 United States 05/16/2012 04:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No when people are that desperate they somehow feel they have failed the kids etc and that leaving them behind would be the worst thing to do.Many worry what will happen to the kids and some have no family to come in and take care of the kids.Others worry the state will place them in places they are abused,etc etc.So they convince them self its for the childrens on good to not be left in this horrible place once they are gone.No its not logical or sane but once a person is that far gone they lose the ability to think a sane way. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16104730 Has nothing to do with a witness.If you are dead it dont make a flip what is said or done as far as what was witnessed.its a done deal by that time. That sounds like Jim Jones and the excuse his little commune had for killing the children too. But, that one case stands out in national memory till this day just because it was so bizarre and now, in this decade, it's a regular occurrence. You don't think there's something just a bit 'off' about that? If it were all as simple as you make it sound, somebody in a position to intervene would surely have figured that out as well. As to what anyone witnessed, how do you know it wasn't professional assassins or space aliens? As crazy as these cases are, neither of those two possibilities could even be considered unreasonable anymore. What is reasonable? I don't think just explaining away weird occurrences with pop psychology so we can relax and forget about them offers us any hope of getting to the bottom of this - and it's not a safe attitude to take either. Until we know the cause of this rampant sudden psychosis, we are all in danger; it can happen to any one of us. |

Scuba7 User ID: 16144193 Australia 05/16/2012 04:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Authorities say a Florida mother shot and killed her four children before shooting herself. Sheriff's deputies in Brevard County said 33-year-old Tanya Thomas on Tuesday shot her four children, who ranged in age from 12 to 17. Quoting: ~Jay~ Cool, a touching story for once. Glad to see that the world has not gone crazy or anything. Do not take memories of what happened yesterday, into what might happen today. When love is your greatest weakness, you will be the strongest person in the world. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13380113 United States 05/17/2012 06:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | PORT ST. JOHN -- A 33-year-old mother went on a shooting spree, taking the lives of her four children and then herself during an early morning confrontation, Brevard County Sheriff’s investigators said. Quoting: One Moment At one point, three of the wounded children ran to a neighbor’s house but the mother stepped out and beckoned them to return to the home at 7245 Bright Ave., where they were fatally wounded before deputies arrived. The BCSO, which is leading the investigation, identified the shooting victims as Joel Johnson, 12, Jazlin Johnson, 13, Jaxs, Johnson, 15, and Pebbles Johnson, 17. The mother, Tonya Thomas, reportedly sent a text out to a friend about 3 a.m. saying that she wanted to be cremated with her children but the friend did not receive the message until much later, said Tod Goodyear of the Brevard County sheriff’s office. Names = not white |

Yep... sounds like one of those village sacrifices. lol...yeah. like "it takes a village to raise a child." Or one neighbor to turn them back to the door of their gun-wielding psycho mom. :) |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15427431 United States 05/17/2012 07:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Being a single parent is not an excuse for this kind of behavior. My husband and I have 7 children and I know how hard it is to raise kids basically on my own as my husband works long hours. I have been so stressed at times, I wanted to pull my hair out. All parents, one parent home or two, feel this way. Many families have financial difficulties. You do not kill your kids because you are a single parent and having financial problems. Doesn't happen. This mother was not mentally ill. She knew what she was doing and she knew it was wrong. Just the act of calling her children home to finish off the job...she knew exactly what she was doing. My question is, were the neighbors mentally ill or just plain stupid? Quoting: CarrieRosie This is becoming the norm. It is sad. Each week we are hearing of another parent harming their children. This trend is not going to stop. It will only get worse. She probably went berzerkers on antidepressants. Better living through chemistry. That was my first thought as well. So many people are on medications these days and too many people (men, women, black, white, asian, hispanic, etc) are losing it. It's all by design. They make living very difficult. They poison our air, food and water. Then they offer us deadly medications to make us feel better. It's the perfect recipe for disaster. |

Lioness and cubs User ID: 7031407 United States 05/17/2012 08:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Did it ever occur to you assclowns that the father is abusive and psycho? Ridiculous to think that any father is better than none even if he is a deadbeat, cheating, abusive prick? This mother probably thought better for them to be dead than to live with the baggage of an abusive household where the boys end up in jail and the girls pg at 16. My prayers go out to the victims and their family, if there is anyone left. Lioness I'm not the Lioness that has been vilified on some other threads. I'm a newbie :) |
