Maybe some will say string her up and hang her high, however is she bad or sad, well to early to tell but. What would make a seemingly nice, decent successful mother kill her kids? What made her snap? How does a husband who loves his wife and kids start to deal with it? Stories like this always make me feel their are a lot of victims and a lot of sadness. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Wandsworth Deaths: Felicia Boots, 34, Charged With Murder please log in to view this image A woman has been charged with the murder of her baby son and daughter. The 10-week-old boy and his 14-month-old sister, Lily Sky Boots, were found unconscious on Wednesday evening by their father, Jeff Boots, when he returned from work to his home in Wandsworth, south-west London, sources said. Metropolitan Police officers arrested their mother, Felicia, 34, at the semi-detached home after emergency services were unable to revive the children at the scene. Scotland Yard said a 34-year-old woman had been charged with two counts of murder and would appear at South Western Magistrates Court in south London today. A police spokesman said: "A 34-year-old woman has been charged with two counts of murder following the discovery of the bodies of a 14-month-old girl and a 10-week-old boy at an address in Killarney Road on Wednesday May 9." Further tests had been carried out after a pathologist could find no formal cause of death for the two children, police said. Post-mortem examinations took place yesterday at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London but a cause of death had not been given. The bodies of the children were discovered at the upmarket property which the family moved into. It had recently been sold by Savills estate agency for £1.2m. Boots, a trained hairdresser, had been busy completing removal from a nearby penthouse apartment in the weeks before the deaths. Both Mr Boots, an investment banker, and his wife are understood to have moved to the UK in the last few years from Canada.
Things like this are very hard to comprehend, and without knowing the circumstances of the lady involved, I would not pass judgement regarding whether she is a cold-blooded murder or if something has just snapped in her mind..
Sounds like post natal depression to me, My wife gets it, she hasnt done anything alike that, thank god, but the thought is always in the back of my mind that she might (just thinking the worst basically). She basically gets bad thoughts of doing nasty stuff then sits there thinking and feeling guilty which in turn starts more bad thoughts, its a bit of a nightmare tbh, but we battle through it, but sounds like she got Pregnant, Gve Birth, then got pregnant again almost immediately 14 months and 10 weeks old kids, so that would take it out of the best of them never mind a first time mother. basically she needs help, not life in prison (if it is PND) is she has just killed them and she is fine, then throw away the key.
There are only victims here in this story and its absolutely heartbreaking to read about it. As the father of a 7 year old girl, I cant even begin to fill this fathers shoes and feel his pain. Tragedy indeed.
Its the father I think about Cest, what a place to be, he must hate and love his wife at the same time, grieve for his kids and no doubt blame himself for not seeing it coming, irrational blame I know.
There wont be a moments peace for the bloke for the rest of his life, even if he manages to find someone else and starts another family, he will always have this hanging over him in darkest moments. Its hearbreaking mate.
Sounds like she may have had a mental illness, it's the worst kind of illness anyone can get, yes, she killed her children & it is an awful thing to happen, but, if it is mental illness I hope she gets all the help in the world because sooner or later she will realise what she has done
There is no get out for her, Evil and life in jail. Ill, its what I think, and its ill for life so no life or gets help and like you say what she has done will hit home and destroy her life.
What gets me is, she has already been charged for Murder, They have not charged her with involuntary manslaughter or as far as i am aware done a Psychological evaluation on here. So from the outside without knowing anything else, it does seem she was bang to rights, and knows exactly what she done (I could be way wrong though but looking at the press piece, she is done for). It may have just been the pressure, Husband is an investment banker, bet he doesnt work 9-5, it will be 6am to 11pm so she has the 2 kids to look after, but then that brings me to another point, why didnt they hire a nanny, sounds like they could afford it, just to take the pressure off her. ah well some things we may never know, but this is 3 in the last year or 2 that i have read about.
That's all guess work there mate. I think it's about time mental illness was brought more to peoples attention as my opinion is there is a massive lack of understanding when it comes to this issue.
Well its what the papers said and the police have charged her with Murder which is usually premeditated and was meant, so not sure how its all guesswork. I do agree with the mental health thing though, I havnt had a bad day like that in my life, I dont know whats like personally, but like I said above, My wife is bad with her nerves, so i have had to live with it for 10 years, she even cut her wrists (not fatally just at the sides) in front of me, kicked me out, I rang her mam straight away, kids were in the house, they came and she blamed it on me. Luckily her mam and brother knew what she was like, she usually goes to her mams for a few days and she is fine for a few months, then it starts again (not the cutting wrists thankfully, thats only happened once). yeah, its scary as **** and sometimes I just feel like walking, as most of the time i dont know what to do, be nice she thinks i have done something i shouldnt (shagged someone lol), tell her home truths, she just cries and pisses off to her mams anyway. But if she was suffering mentally, there is no way her husband would not know, you can spot it a mile off. Probably just reported more. Guy who set fire to his whole family, in the house, wales i think Asian wife who killed her kids (not that the asian bit means **** all but it may trigger a memory from someone, sollihull strikes a chord for some reason). Wife who thought he husband was having an affair, cracked up, killed her 2 kids and put them in the trunk of her car. this one that is 4 and just from memory, I very rarely watch the news or read papers, so there may have been a ton more.
the way I look at things is. We all have our problems, but there is always someone, somewhere, a hell of a lot worse off than I am. You get by, you have too dont you.
Sometimes people are sick, and i don't mean mentally, but they are brutal, and deserve locking up for life, or worse..... The horrors that they can make a child suffer is un-describable...... This is a case that will take time to solve.... ............................................................................................... How-ever there is this one, which made me quite uneasy, about a Malaysian woman and what she did to her child.. I will post the link, but please feel free to ignore it..........i watch some things that i probably shouldn't, but it's to bad to describe... Any rambling, so just ignore it please..
