Has anyone considered that not all women bond with their children?  Or, even want them? Or attend to them properly?

Perhaps Gerrish was concerned baby M was being neglected during his office hours and employed a nanny so he could focus on his work without interruption and fear something might go wrong.

Maybe Chung didn’t want to “mother” and preferred screen and yoga time.  Maybe she disliked dirty diapers, crying, snotty nosed, teething toddlers.  Just because a few people say complimentary things doesn’t make it so.  It only means what they observed appeared normal.

Off the top of my head I can list at least fifty cases of women 
killing their kids.  And most of the women had flattering comments about their parenting skills prior to murdering them.[/quote]

You can list 50 cases of women killing their kids OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD?

Statistically it is not common, although yes it does happen, and is more likely to happen in the post partum period.

I am not saying that it is impossible she was a disconnected mother, or that Gerrish was a very connected father, but your post seems insane. [/quote]
Cases, yes.  Highly publicized cases. [b] Postpartum psychosis is actually very common.[/b]  [/quote]

It is not "very common." It's actually quite rare - 0.1%-0.2% of births. Did you mean postpartum psychosis is a common reason given by women who kill their children and husbands?

You seem like a fairly nasty person, the way you are talking about this woman. It is positively ghoulish. It is possible to be interested in a case and speculate about what happened without being ghoulish. [/quote]. Thanks for the compliment.  Wanna go back to pretending it got to hot for them?  [/quote]

It wasn't a compliment, I was never on Team Heatstroke, and try basing your theories on more than your own imagination if you want to sound like a thinking adult. You have zero basis for suggesting that this baby was neglected by either parent. The only basis you have for assuming that Chung was neglectful are statements about how involved Gerrish was as a father. They employed a nanny, which is something that probably 50% of the parents on this site do. He worked from home. She did other stuff. She didn't need to work to pay the bills, and there is no indication that that was a problem for anyone.

I 100% think that something strange happened here. Even if you are sure you are right, and even if you end up being totally right, it is still a very strange thing, and the length of time it's taking answers to arrive makes it all the stranger. That said, I think the heat was certainly implicated in at least one aspect of the deaths, if for no other reason than that as a person who has ever hiked in the heat before, I know it makes every dangerous situation that much more potentially dangerous. But I do not think it is the primary cause of the overall situation or likely no one on this site would ever have heard of these people.[/quote]

It’s not about being right.  It’s about the obvious and critical thinking.  The length of time alone means one thing!  Drugs or a toxic agent was found and deeper analysis is underway.  A tox test can yield positive for meth.  However, the presence of meth would not conclude a fatal dose was used, so back to the drawing board for quantitatives.  If tox’ tests on this case had returned negative results, we’d know.  Really quite simple.[/quote]

Are you the poster who had issues with being moderated on other boards? Nothing about the tox results has been released so your speculation is baseless. [/quote]. 
You’re pathetically behind.  If you’re going to comment you should be versed in the subject matter.

In response to a question during Thursday's sheriff update, about whether toxicology results were back yet, Briese said, "Some are, yes. But we still do not have an exact cause of death yet."

Authorities say they have not been able to rule out the possibility of foul play.

Wow.  Obvy things are heating up.  Who lawyered up, if you know? 
Yeah foul play…could be selling/providing drugs or tainting water container, or even worse.  [/quote]
