Mother accused of murdering her three children in Dublin too unwell to attend court

 

[nothinonyou]

she'll be locked up in a mental hospital for life, hopefully. mental health or not, there is something very very cruel to do this to your own children. I've suffered with my mental health and I've never even considered harming anybody. I understand maybe she wanted to take her own life and then thought the children "couldn't survive" without a mother... but I never understood that thinking either. Just selfish and evil I think

Deirdre Morley sent forward for trial. A date has yet to be set and there is no indication how she will plead.

Dad's youtube and twitter are very sweet, he seems like a great man and a great dad. No sign of the mother in any of the youtube clips which I imagine is done deliberately

I wonder if Morley showed previous signs of mental instability.

This case is so very sad

Think she was off work for a while and was in and out of hospital or so I heard

A GRIEVING father who wants to set up a charity in the name of his son will not be able to publicise it because of the court ruling on the identification of children who are victims of crime.
The man, who lost his son and two other children in tragic circumstances, has spoken of his “hurt and anger” over the ruling, which effectively gags parents in his situation from naming their children in the media.
Section 252 of the Children Act 2001, which provides mandatory and automatic reporting restrictions in the case of "any proceedings for an offence against a child". In October, the court of Appeal found that these prohibitions extend to children who had died or since turned 18.

'I need to celebrate their lives' - Father who lost children in tragic circumstances angry at court naming ban

I think this is about this family? Should the thread title be changed because of the amendment to the Children's Act?

Trial starting tomorrow. Expected to last 3 days. Children can be named. She's pleading guilty by reason of insanity to all charges (an easy cop out imo)
