I have sat reading through this since yesterday to try to make some sense of this mindless waste of 2 innocent young lives.
Of course there is no sense to be made from it, just more questions and a deep feeling of sorrow, those poor girls, their poor family, such a tragic waste.
A couple of points i had noted though, there was a lot of talk from family about 'the system failing', and evidence of the involvement of social services was heard. It brought me to wonder if some of the 'missed' reporting was due to restrictions, social workers giving evidence for example and if there will be a Serious Case Review forthcoming. How the hell was she even given an opportunity to harm the second child, more failure of services perhaps?
I struggle to accept there is absolutely no mental illness or impairment, because surely sane people in their right mind, dont just decide to end the lives of not one but both of their children within a few short weeks of each other? But maybe that is a protection mechanism and i cant allow myself to believe it.
So sad, so senseless. RIP Lexi and Scarlett, fly high girls.
