What a very sad story. It's a shame that there were not more outside people involved with this family on a daily basis so that maybe it could have been prevented. One thought that came to my mind was that perhaps it was a case of extreme post-partum psychosis since the mother had a one year old. I know post partum psychiatric conditions can happen up until one year after birth and one of the article mentioned that the mother had a history of mental illness. Maybe it was just plain psychosis. On the other hand, since another adult was involved or present, could it have been cult related? Or drug related? Or a combination of all three?
I really feel for the children that survived.
