Mum killed disabled daughter before taking own life, coroner rules

'We want their deaths to change the way disabled children, but also their parents, are perceived.'

trib.al

I can't really judge her to be honest, especially because she chose a painless method (carbon monoxide) to kill herself and her disabled daughter.

But... how??? Sometimes these news articles pop up and make this shit look easy. How did she generate enough carbon monoxide at home in her bedroom?

RIP

The immediate reaction from me was anger, but then I remembered the disabled children dying in foster care and under the care of unaccustomed family members. I hope it was painless. I just wish someone would have helped the mom instead.

The daughter "was blind, non-verbal and had severely restricted mobility meaning her mum was her full -time carer". I can sympathise that she would have been difficult to care for, and time consuming, leading to isolation. And it seems to have been painless.
