Has there been any reports that this was likely a "mercy killing"?
I have tried going back to read the MSM articles but I have not found it....have I missed it?

Australia's disability discrimination commissioner condemns "dangerous narratives" surrounding the deaths of teenage brothers Leon and Otis Clune, saying the burden of disability should never be a justification for family violence.

Australians in particular, what is your take on the help available?

On another topic, I do wonder why they didn't just leave the boys in a safe place if they themselves didn't want to go on. But it does not sound like the notes they left behind will be released.

In my opinion, the help available is not relevant. Millions of families care for disabled family members, with or without support, and manage to do so without murdering them.

One of the links I have posted in the thread talks about how this kind of murder is often all about displaced anger. Killing the children was the whole point, in my opinion, and killing themselves was to avoid consequences. Killing the pets is less straightforward, but some family annihilators do kill the family pets as well.
