German mother kills her 5 children
Suspected of having a mental illness (no duh!), a 31 year old mother in Germany is suspected of killing all 5 of her young children, ranging from previously reported infant deaths to the new slayings which included the rest of her children, ages 3 - 9.
Since we hear about this so much, I have to wonder, is it safe to leave children with mothers who are mentally ill??? It’s not fair to the children to take a gamble. Mentally ill mothers must be closely monitored and not left alone with their children. I don’t know how to monitor that, but we owe it to these children to make some safety protocols on their behalf.
(CNN) — Police in Darry in northern Germany found the bodies of five children Wednesday, and a spokesman said their 31-year-old mother is the prime suspect in the slayings.
The children were between 3 and 9 years old. Police said the mother appears to suffer from a mental illness, and was taken to a mental health facility.
