Horrible story
Hard to understand how this stuff happens to nice families and cute kids...if I was a wimp I'd be tearing up right now

I'm very nearly crying if I'm honest

Here's how we set it right Silver, we adore our spouses, treat the kiddies like GOLD and seek professional help if needed
This crazy stuff does not need to happen

You and I ARE society, we can fix the mess, it just needs a polishing

I don't mind admitting that I shed a tear when I saw this on the news last night shogs. Couldn't help thinking about the terror, pain and confusion those little ones and their mum would have felt in their final moments.

I like your solutions, I just pray the people who need to change look at this tragedy and understand this is increasingly where domestic violence ends. That's the only good thing that could come of it.

reply

My mum is a nurse at the hospital where the mother was taken and later died. Shit is horrific.

reply

Man. Nurses have to see the most horrendous things. Hope your mum is ok, I heard the emergency staff at the scene needed immediate counselling.

reply

Yeah she is okay, she was a nurse in the army as well. But yeah when mum left work yesterday the lady was still alive but my mum said there wasnt much chance of her surving through the night.

reminds me of Chris Benoit. very sad. how does a person kill their own kids??

reply

That was a particularly horrific case.

reply

yeah, first thing I thought was Chris Benoit too, and roid rage

reply

In a million years I will never understand how anyone can kill their children.

reply

Horrible things have always happened. It's a part of society. Things weren't better "back in the day", we just like to romanticize the past.

reply

Definitely true, plus it seems people have more of an appetite to hear about these stories now.

reply

Appetite and avenues to get the info. We are barraged with stories.

reply

It makes people desensitized.

reply

I didn't say things were better back in the day.

reply

I just thought when you said that society might be irreparably broken that you thought at one time is wasn't. My apologies.

reply

I thought when you included quotation marks around back in the day you were suggesting you had quoted me. My apologies also.

with all due respect to the op, i think focusing on stories like this can really warp your view of what people are like and what our daily lives are really like.

not that there can't be a benefit in talking about these things & trying to sort out why they happen.

but focusing on these really ugly, one time events does skew our perceptions.

like most places in the developed world, australia's murder rate has dropped really significantly in the last 30 years. our daily news is filled with tragic things like this, but we should also be celebrating the (no exaggeration) millions of people who are alive & thriving who wouldn't be if we still had the murder rates we did in 1990.

most of us go through our daily lives with almost no trouble whatsoever, meet, pass by dozens, maybe hundreds of people without any kind of bother or incident.

personally, i don't watch the news at all anymore for the reasons i gave above: it can install an ugly pessimism in you that doesn't really reflect reality.

reply

This is true i never feel unsave in Australia, at anytime or anyplace.

reply

Yeah you're right it was a mistake to post it here it just affected me deeply. I'll delete it.
