[quote=Anonymous]I posted above that I think LC likely had a history of abusing her kids prior to murdering them. Why do I think this? Because she has been in treatment for months for what seems to be severe mental illness and was heavily medicated for same. Yet throughout that time, as far as we know, she was also still one of the if not the primary caregivers for her kids while her husband worked. It’s not likely that she was this wonderful parent for 8 months+ and then one day just murdered her kids. What’s more likely unfortunately is that she was abusive toward her kids for a long time leading up to the murders. Of course I could be wrong and I hope I am. But I’ve been around enough cases of domestic violence and child abuse to recognize that typically homicidal people don’t become homicidal all of a sudden on a particularly “bad day” without any prior instances of abuse/violence. It’s much more likely that LC abused and mistreated her kids for awhile leading up to this. It’s not something any of us want to be true but it is the most likely scenario.

People who are imagining this normal, typical parent who had psychosis and snapped and killed her kids without any prior instances of abuse are not looking at this realistically.[/quote]
