oh, did i mention that the child had autism?
yesterday a woman was released from gaol to bury the son she murdered. not only that but she doesnt have to return, as she has been released on a five year good behaviour bond, on the grounds of diminshed responsibilty.
there are many heart-wrenching details to the story - an abusive alcholoic husband, clinical depression, suicide plans, but basically at the end of it all, a woman has walked away after killing her own child.
is this necessarily a bad thing? or will this open up yet another legal pandoras box?
when one has a child, i assume that one is aware of the massive amount fo committment that one is now in store for when the child is born. autistic or not, it is a commonly held belief that one is in for a serious committment. sure the autism adds an extra, shitty, dimension; but if its all too much, then there are other avenues open to you, particularly if you have an abusive significant other. there are agencies that would have an impromptu orgy just out of sheer delight from having someone in such dire need to assist. surely before you look at murder-suicide as your prime option, you check out what help you can recieve.
nah, screw that, its all too hard, ill take the murder-suicide thanks johnny!
but hold the suicide thanks.
so heres the moral folks: life getting you down? mortgage and 2.6 kids ruining your social life. no fear! have a bit of a cry and then hold a pillow over juniours face while hes asleep, youll do 10 months, and then youll get slapped with good behaivour bond. all of a sudden, BAM! friday nights just cleared right up, off to the pub we go!
is it more justifiable for the woman to have killed the child because it was severely mentally hadicapped (he couldnt speak, let alone be toilet-trained), than for her to have killed a 'normal' one?

Perhaps JUSTICE actually took place here.

Loki, if I've told you once, I've told you, well, maybe once... "No yippie shit outta MY baby."
There aren't enough details to this story for me to form an opinion of any merit. People lose it sometimes, it's awful, it's wrong, but it happens.
i left out the details on purpose, in fact most of the details contradict my hysterical (not meant in a funny way). for example she was in fact seeking help, but was having troubles with our useless bureaucracies. but those mitigating factors dont make for an inflammatory post.

Ahh, loki, your huskies are hunters too?
My mom's husky kept killing her neighbor's pomeranians. She had to find her a new home.

There have to be agencies out there that would help with this - jebus what is wrong with people.
although it occurred to me today that the voices in my head are urging me to trade in my huskies for oh I don't know something like that yippie little shit of Loren's
mostly because they are shedding like crazy and this morning there was an opossum sans head on my porch - don't think it was natural causes

I think it's much more acceptable to kill a retard than a normal kid. They're (retards) like animals, ya know? Although I would recommend a shovel to the head rather than a pillow because I've never seen a pillow big enough to fit over an autist's face!
And is it just me, or do autistic people appear more buoyant than normal people?
Ah well...

I do not care how mentally unstable you are. I do not care if you are outright crazy. If you kill a child you need to be in jail for the rest of your life or you need to be put to death.
That is just how it is.
