Reply to comment by jtet93 in 2 Young Children Killed in Duxbury Home, Authorities Say by Boston1_
I watched it, that was heart wrenching. The terrible loss of the kids, a woman who was clearly out of her mind and obviously remorseful, which is what sticks with you. So much lip service is paid to mental health, so little is actually put in to treating it. Tragedies like these can be if at least not prevented then mitigated.

I warned you it was a tough watch ðŸ˜
What gets me is in this Duxbury case it seems like the mom had sought help but I heard she may have been on a waiting list for inpatient care. And dad just went out to get takeout. Sooo horrible. I feel bad for the entire family.

The medical community is failing or failing to prioritize appropriately. I have been dealing with same for my son at Boston Children’s. (My 7 year old stopped eating). It’s ridiculous, but they let non medical people make the important decisions. My heart breaks for everyone, this could have been avoided and unfortunately an event like this won’t shine a light on how the system failed her and ultimately her family. All the talk about mental health being so important is just lip service unfortunately.
I pass the house twice daily as it’s near my sons school, my heart breaks over and over for all of them.
