This is just sad.

When asked, Thompson said she'd received notification that her welfare benefits were being cut off and explained that she could no longer support herself or her children. Thompson said slamming the car into a power pole was was her only option.

Only option? Call state and tell them to come take the kids away!:willy_nilly:
 
Piss poor reporting. Why is she on welfare and why is it being cut off? If the kids are lucky maybe they'll get a nice adopted family that will lie to them about how much their mother loved them so much that she gave them a better life.

That is awful how some mothers can do things like that to their children is beyond me. If she wanted to kill herself fair enough but she shouldn't try killing her kids aswell.

Sometimes it's not that simple cos the state doesn't take the call seriously or takes too long to act. I've read several cases of parents in the UK killing their kids, or trying to, AFTER trying to get their children taken off them.

Her options could have been to get with her family to help watching the children and go to work. There is high unemployment in this region but there are help wanted signs in 50% or more of the businesses.
 
I have felt desperate, but barring a mental illness I can't see why I would ever think endangering my kids would help me......maybe risking myself but not my kids, abandon them, it's better than killing them my 2 cents
 
calling
someone who obviously has a mental illness " fucking cuckoo" is crass and downright reprehensible.
boohoo... Where the fuck in that article did it say she was mentally ill? Here's a thought maybe she couldve got a job at McDonalds or not had 4 children? Because obviously someone like that doesn't deserve them.
 
sorry i don't show compassion for those that feel they need to harm themselves and their children and my heart will do fine. You ever stop to think maybe your heart bleeds a little too much?
