So heartbreaking
This isn’t legal in Massachusetts??
Look at him upping his gofundme campaign with sympathy gaining messages …… which father goes to setup a gofundme page immediately after losing 2 children? And now that he has lost the 3rd child too, why does need the money for?
Why does he need all this gofundme money?
What was the husband doing when the mother was in distress? He says he left for 20 mins to get dinner and this happened? Hmmmm I hope the police looks into the husband too
how about the Americans stop stealing Syria's oil and also removing the draconian sanctions?!?
this is beyond heartbreaking. I can't comprehend tragedies like this
Wow! I never killed my kids, or anyone else. I can't imagine. That is unimaginable!
He married a monster. Sad.
Why is the target goal on the go fund me keep getting raised? Wow unreal
It is an absolute tragedy. The reaction of society is very interesting…When we see news about alcoholics, drug-addicted, and poor parents harming their children, we despise those people. We don't try to understand. Maybe those people needed help, did not have money, were depressed, etc. When we see a crime involving a beautiful, educated couple, middle-high class, we try to explain, blame everyone around, and find an explanation that it is not their fault.
Gfys
Some people are not meant to be parents. Period.
I can’t believe as a parent who lost his or her children and so quick to forgive even if his or her spouse did it. If it is so, there is only possible explanation I can think of, his love to his wife is way above love to his children. It led me to speculate if wellbeing of his children has been neglected all the time.
Prayers
I can’t wrap my mind around how he’s forgiven her so quickly. Strange. The true victims here are those innocent babies. Rest in peace angels.
Having gone to the doctor for 4 years for mental health help, Nothing helps. I wish they had a euthenasia program for people like myself.
Oh no I am absolutely devasted to learn the little baby passed away too. I was holding onto hope that he could still raise his son. Omg this is truly HEART BREAKING. RIP ANGELS
It exists and it’s real this poor woman must have lost it completely when she realizes what she has done she won’t be able to live with it she must have been gone from everything strangling one kid after the other I mean it takes something I was in a domestic abusive relationship I was in and off medication i knew that I wasn’t going to stay with her dad in New York there she was an angel the love of my life the most beautiful baby I have ever seen I had no one the father did not want her but 🥅 wanted my baby one day I put my hands around her little neck to measure it I quickly realize I might endanger her I had that reflex but it’s hard for me to talk about it I did talk about it to my psychiatrist she Did nothing t judge me she knew how much I lived my baby but it haunted me I suffer from obsessive compulsive behavior anyway I left the jerk and moved to paris my daughter said is 22 a chess champion preparing her master at La Sorbonne university she is healthy she is beautiful I will never tell her so she if I put my hands around my baby’s neck for whatever reasons I was conscious enough to back away because iam not a killer or my post baby blue syndrome wasn’t to that anxiety level where you are hopeless and strangle your kids see it’s different the right or the wrong of course it is horrific to strangle your children one by one she was a psycho she did it discern between right gut and wrong she squeezed her hands around their little necks and the kids last moment was seeing their mom hurting them . Evil is everywhere in everyone
Not convinced she did it. Very wordy statement. Children not even buried & talking of his new purpose.
Allegedly killed her kids…
Why is it always woman doing these things?
Few in this World understand the spiritual World. Psychology and psychiatry, especially. And the supposedly scientific world, focused on the human body.
The demons tear at the wounds of the human heart [the spiritual one] hidden within and then offer them temptations to escape their hearts.
Emotional trauma does NOT exist in the mind but the human heart.
post partum psychosis is real. listen to women, pay attention to and help them after labor. it's no joke, but prompt treatment can prevent tragedy like this!
So sad
GOD bless this father and I pray that he can go on from this awful tragedy!
🙏 God save and keep all families. Rest in Paradise. 😢
If all there family members knew she had a mental issue why wasn't something done?
This woman didn't exhibit any warning signs before this happened? I am not familiar with the case, guess I need to read up on it. What a tragedy. Does anyone notice this seems to be happening more and more lately??
Unreal unreal she kills her 3 kids and the father raises 800k on go fund me and she’s not in a real jail she’s hospitalized after taking 3 lives. Gtfoh AMERICA WHAT OTHER PERSON DOES THAT HAPPEN FOR!!!
Mental health at it's peak in these times of the end
America is full of crazy people… killing for small or no reason at all…
That weirdo killed them.
Post partum. Nice Try. She is a vicious deviant killer of her own children. A danger to society and that thug should be locked away for good. Stop trying to put roses on it.
You can always tell when the killer is yt because no picture accompanies the story. I had to look at 4 stories to find a pic.
Feminist: Men are pure evuI
Poor little souls! 💕
Omg the coverage of the dad to give his comment's what a remarkable man !! My heart is broken for him total devastation !! Dear God 😥💔
Divorce my due.
Many making excuses for the mother. I don’t care how depressed you are, you don’t hurt your kids.
God does not forgive children killers nor will her prison inmates forgive this….just the way it is
The husband has no right to forgive his wife for killing the three children. Only the children themselves can do that. IMO it's madness to forgive her for the ruination of his life, but it's his life. This is the problem of "Christian" forgiveness. It makes a mockery of everything decent and kind. And no, I don't believe that punishment even exists. Some people need to be locked away or killed to protect the innocent.
Some things are unforgivable.
Pity our judicial system is a business and she is now on our tab.
😳
RIP sweet babies ❤
I would never forgive he is a better man than myself
