Her scrawled note thing looks like the kind of insane ramblings you'd see in a horror game. There is something deeply, disturbingly wrong with that woman and I hope they get a shrink in there to see what the hell it is. Those families deserve to know why someone would do this kind of nightmare shit

Exactly right. We need to root out how this happened if we want to stop it happening again. That would probably include an honest long look at the NHS in general and whatever went on in her mind in particular. It's never going to be as simple as "this woman's a monster". We need to know what impulses she felt and what justifications she told herself, knowing it was the worst kind of wrong. And how did she get into a position where it was possible. The families deserve answers and we all need to know it can't happen again.

You're not exaggerating

I wonder if she had sought out psychiatric help years ago but found a dead end.

Recently had a case in Denmark with a mass murderer who had been in loads of contact with psychiatric institutions but he apparently felt even more alone as a result.

I can't read that too scribbled.... And I'm not sure I want to.... I can't imagine what the parents must be feeling right now...

It's really sad. Just a few snippets:

NO HOPE

I feel so alone

What does the future hold?

I DID IT!
