If she was dubbed a "social time bomb" why didn't someone reach out to her? It's bad enough when you don't know that someone is hurting so much, but if you know...I just think that is sooo sad. And that she took her children's lives. Very sad.

Several years ago at the school where my mom taught something similar happened. A deranged mother tossed her kids off of the 14th floor roof where they lived and then jumped. Amazingly, I know at least one of them (maybe two) lived. Tragic.

Wait a minute. A woman murders her children and we think that is because of a lack of social welfare??!

Maybe it was because the woman wasn't locked up.
Maybe it was her children weren't taken away from her.
Maybe it was because her family didn't give a crap.
Maybe it was because her friends didn't give a crap.
Maybe it was because she was just nuts.

Society is not to blame for all ills.

If a man murdered his children you would never ever hear that it was society's fault.

She wasn't, the area she lived in was. Which is probably why this is also dubbed a welfare issue - think slum.
