It's difficult to speculate what may have happened to trigger this tragedy until more facts are at hand.
....there is usually a marked deterioration prior to an extreme episode of psychosis(if that is what took place). A woman caring for 8 young children leading up to a stressful time of the year, Christmas....requires assistance.
...but the women may have been completely delusional, hearing voices....instructions to kill the children? In other words, totally off this planet. If so, surely there must have been outer signs visible to the community previously?? One wonders? More will come to surface in the next few days, no doubt.
So often after a tragedy such as this....we see "the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff" measures taken by Government agencies.
Surely there were prior indicators that all was not right in this particular home? Where was the extended family? Friends? Social Services? Teachers? Neighbours?
A woman who is caring for 8 children needs a strong support system in place.

I think he may like to be...but we don't cross that line.
He is a friend.
