They are now saying she has a pre-existing medical condition, but won't release information.
This poor family!

I read about this over the weekend. I just feel sick for all involved. She must have had a psychotic break of some sort. So very very sad.

I read this a few days ago and just felt sick to my stomach. Crushingly sad and horrifying.

Whats scary is, this happens more often then we would think. I remember the story of the mother driving her car into a body of water with the kids in it, and I wasn't at the particular school where the kids went when it happened, but a mother burnt her house down with the kids in it. One of the three made it out alive. The one from my class didn't. I can't imagine the sicking mental illness to do this to one's own children.

I read about this, too. I was a horrible, nasty, foul-mouthed, lying, disrespectful teenager. I know what I put my mom through. And I know as people read this story, they may even jokingly say, "I've got teenagers. Don't think THAT hasn't crossed my mind, too." But they were children. How absolutely heartbreaking.
