3rd child dies in Duxbury tragedy

I can't imagine what this Dad is going through.

That dad just lost EVERYTHING literally everything

Parenting is tough, especially when you have 3 young ones, but there’s help out there. Please don’t end their lives. 🙏🏼 Children are completely innocent.

I don't understand why some murderers automatically get the crazy diagnosis. I think she knew what she was doing. This is pure evil

My son is 14 and in 9th grade, his Classmate and friend Ava woods funeral is actually today. Her father shot her while she slept and then took his own life. It is gut wrenching to think about. God rest all these children.

My mother suffered from postpartum depression back in the early 1960s She threatened to kill my baby sister. My dad had her taken to the hospital and committed she had a psychotic break. She then had 42 ECT she was on antipsychotics and antidepressants and tranquilizers until the day she died at the age of 75. Luckily nothing happened to my sister. This is a serious medical emergency. There is no shame in asking for help if you are seriously depressed. I feel so bad that this happened to that family. I will keep the family in prayer.🙏🏻 I never could bring myself to ever have kids after I saw what happened to my mother I was too afraid!

It just shows that those smiles rarely show what’s really happening.

This is a heartbreaking story and my prayers are with the family; such a tragedy...I had Postpartum Depression following the birth of both my sons and was hospitalized when my second born was 9 mos. old because I recognized the signs. Thank Jesus, PPD didn't cause me any psychosis or interfere with my ability to care for my babies. I have a very good friend who is an advocate for Perinatal Mental Health, Jennifer Hentz-Moyer, who wrote a book about her own journey with Postpartum Psychosis called "A Mother's Climb out of Darkness".

I just felt my heart tear. I am so deeply sorry to see this devastating loss. No word in our languages can possibly describe the internal cry when an innocent child leaves this Earth. I cannot imagine what the family, friends, treating team, entire community, and everyone else involved, be going through right now. This is a human tragedy that will bring anyone to their knees. I pray that you will all unite in this moment of sorrow and support one another in any way you can. This could happen to anyone, but more often, people who suffered trauma as children, or people whose parents or grandparents suffered traumatic events, are lifelong carriers of these silent epigenetic traumas. They are more sensitive to hormonal and environmental changes. None of us are immune to the tentacles of trauma. If you are in an abusive or severely stressful situation - leave (safely). It is having an impact on generations ahead of you. It is altering your brain, your genetic expression, your hormones. Young brains are much more sensitive than an adult’s. There are many places you can get help. Walk into a hospital, a police station, call one of many services dedicated or the very least, call 911 if you are struggling. Do it even if you don’t know what to say. They will help. If not, hang up and call the number again and again, until a helpful person answers.

All the murderers are not in the right mind when they murder. There is no excuse.

Nooo... Since he survived I thought that he would pull through..😥 My goodness this is heartbreaking news! I've read some horrible stories this past month and new year - but this really tugged at my heart and i couldn't help but shed a tear... I Can't imagine what that Father is feeling.. Lord Jesus Please Comfort and Touch that father and keep him in Your Peace.. Amen..🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 I wish the mom had sought help! What a Tragedy! My Condolences to the Father, family, loved ones, friends, medical staff, Police officers.and Community...🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

In the early 1950's my parents lived in Michigan. A lady that lived down the street offered my mother her children. My childless mom was later devastated to learn that the lady sent her tweens to the movies and drowned the baby in the bathtub before putting her her own in the gas oven and killing herself. My parents adopted me in 1958. Until she died my mom hurt because she didn't take those kids. PPD is a terrible thing.

Looking at pics on the mom's facebook page shows a loving mother of well cared for & happy looking children. If this is the result of postpartum depression, once the mom becomes lucid enough to hear what happened I don't think she will ever recover. Sending prayers for the Dad that he find strength & comfort from family & friends. What a sad sad sad ending to a young family. 💔

Heartbreaking! My condolences to the family! It’s a tough one.

I think that these type of cases are really a sign of the times that we are in. People are losing hope living in to stressful situations .There is a fine line between sanity and insanity. This is my belief.

I'm really lost for words, sorry to everyone involved.

RIP sweet angels....so sorry this happened to you 😭🙏💔

PPD is a real issue and there needs to be more, easily accessible resources for those presenting with early symptoms....cuz, THIS is sometimes, the end result. We've seen it before and, to think this could've been prevented is absolutely heart wrenching.

After my son was born I suffered in silence with severe postpartum depression for 10 months and finally sought help. It’s not your fault, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, and it’s not a failure on anyone’s part. Don’t wait for it to get better, ask your doctor for help, please.

elsewhere a woman commented that she too was diagnosed with PPD, her family had her institutionalized for therapy and that that decision saved her life.......perhaps her children as well. I can't get over what it had to be like as those precious little children were strangled! Really have a hard time feeling sympathy for anyone but those children.

That breaks my heart for the father. I don't know how he will come through this without losing his mind. Prayers for his family.

Since at least 2001, when Andrea Yates drowned her kids, we've been hearing these stories and saying things like the woman said in this story, "If something good can come from this, it's that it'll put more focus on mental health issues.". Then we have people killed by police and others because they were behaving in scary ways and a possible danger to others when all they needed was medical treatment. And the same words come up, "more focus on mental health". A six-year-old willfully and purposely shoots his teacher, and mental health care gets mentioned again. As someone who has mental health challenges, I look at these situations and wonder when that focus is going to turn into caring, dedicated mental health care for all that need it.

I hope he recovers despite the injuries. He has so much more to live for.

So so sad 😞 Rest In Peace little ones 🙏🏾♥️

I am speechless. I just don't understand. RIP little ones.

Those poor children, that poor father and even though this may not be a popular opinion, that poor mother. When she gets well and pulled out of this psychosis she'll have to live with this for the rest of her life. Those children were absolutely beautiful. This is beyond gut wrenching. I had ppd but not post partem psychosis. I never wanted to hurt my kids, just myself. This is real and very scary.

Holding the children in my heart.

My God , Mom's, Ladies, Girls , and Guys if you see any mother or Women or Kids Struggling in anyway..Please Help immediately with anything 🌹 a little help goes a long way ,

Wow! So sad and my condolences go out to the family of this tragedy. I don't know much about PPD and I'm sure it's horrible but the mom needs to be locked up IMO

They look like a picture perfect family. Post partum psychosis is real and so are other mental health issues. Too bad she didn't get the help she needed in time. I cannot imagine how the husband's feeling to lose his entire family in the blink of an eye.

"Tragedy"... This is how they label this? HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE

Happened down the street from where I grew up. What a tragedy. Poor father.

Very sad😢Sending my condolences to the family 🙏

My prayers for all. This is heart breaking.

My son is autistic and it's really hard trying to raise him as I get frustrated and lose patience sometimes but I could never imagine hurting him. It's not his fault and I love my children more than anything. Rip to the little ones and condolences to that poor father.

Our mental health programs need a huge reform. From mothers suffering from a very real postpartum depression to kids killing kids, this will not stop until the stigma is removed and better mental health services are available.

Tears and prayers for everyone!!! 😭😭😭😭😭💗🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rest in peace Cora, Dawson, Callan 💐

So sorry for the family. Her husband needs so much care now.

No, you don't tell your children unless they were in very close proximity in life to the oldest girl, or are older and would hear about it somehow. Little children don't need to be exposed to something so horrible.

Rest in Peace 🕊

I have kids that age UNBELIEVABLE PAIN!!!

Sorry for the loss rip little angels, I am sending prayers n healing taughts 🙏

The one shred of hope for that dad, is gone.

For the mother...I don't know what is worse; living with the memory of killing your children, or dying and standing before God with what you've done. So sad. RIP to the little angels.

Amazing how I'm forced to watch two, 30 second (UNSKIPABLE) ad's before I'm allowed to hear a news report about a child's death..

Prayers to her and her children sad she resorted to these actions and felt helpless truly sad wish her the best in her mental health and physical self

She’s getting so much sympathy in the comment section after murdering her children I wonder why

The society is going crazy....

Heartbreaking. My heart hurts for all of them. I pray PPD gets the attention it needs. So many people don’t understand that it’s the body’s response to hormones gone wild. It’s very real. Just a tragedy.🥺

This woman acted out of psychotic and tragic desperation. How terrifying to think that a trusted midwife and by all accounts loving mother could be overtaken by insanity.

Mental health in this country is awful 😢

My mom had postpartum depression so bad that it broke up her marriage, ruined her life to this day. Postpartum depression/ psychosis is very serious and no joke. She appeared to be getting help but that was not enough 😞

I hate it for the father, the rest of the family.... such a shame....

Post Partum depression isn't anything to ignore. I almost waited too late to talk to my doctor after my son was born. I thought I was just a bad mom!!

OMGOODNESS this is so tragic. PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY!

Prayers for everyone

She actually slit their wrists and throats then hung them according to first responders but it's being reported that she strangled them because they don't want to make it seem as bad as it really was. Told directly from someone who works at the hospital that the mother is being detained at.

In tears 😢 heartbreaking 💔

There should be more attention to post partum depression. No words cannot describe this tragedy. My heart is so sad for everyone involved. I feel in my heart that she was overwhelmed and no one realized it. This country has to wake up to very important issues like this one. People who are suffering do not speak out because they feel they will be judged and then they go into deep depression. We use to be such a compassionate country and it still is but not enough. Our politicians for the most part only care about money and power. Horrible things happen like this because money is their god.

Terrible tragedy for this family

I feel so sorry for her, for her kids, for her husband, and for her family. I cannot imagine the depths of her depression that made her think this was the best thing to do.

So so sad. My heart with this poor family

R.I.P. Dear Babies 🥀🌹❤️🌹💔❤️🥀

God Bless the Children 💯 🙌🏽😇

Postpartum psychosis is a real thing. I’ve seen someone who had it. She was in another world.

I read it takes 4-5 minutes for a human being to die of strangulation. To kill the person you would have to continue to apply pressure sufficient to strangulate for about 4-5 min in order to ensure death…probably longer in some cases. That is why it is one of the more horrible and harshly punished murders. It takes a long time to do. You have a minimum of 3-6 min to sit there quietly with the person unconscious squeezing with time to stop and reconsider. It’s not a trigger pull instant decision. It’s a process. You can’t argue self defense or heat of the moment with strangulation. If the husband was gone 25 minutes only? How can she have done all this to all them 3 babies?? Without having a change of heart makes no sense. People are quick to throw mental health and not think logically. The only victims here are those kids.

May they rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🙏

Jesus Have Mercy,. May they all rest in peace. My deepest condolences to all

Omg....I feel so bad for the dad and family members. I am lost for words. If you go to talk to someone please make sure they are good at what they do. So just try to pump you with pills. Very important to know what's in the food your eating. The stuff in some of these foods is not ok. It should be illegal

My daughter has been dealing with post pardum depression for a long time. The kids go to Renner Elementary in Sioux falls south Dakota. The father makes it worse. The principal of the school doesn't care even though the kids are obviously being affected. I pray they live through it. I'm concerned for their lives but it falls on deaf ears

🕊🙏🕊RIP MY 3 LITTLE ONES🕊🙏🕊

Death penalty for murderers!

This is why mental health needs to be prioritized for infant mothers - whether they’ve had children before or not.

I don't believe it could have been anybody for one second. This is a monster as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry to hear that. My goodness .

I had postpartum psychosis following the birth of my second kid and it was indescribably terrible. When I attended college years earlier, I took numerous courses on general biology and neurology so I knew that what I was experiencing was my brain going haywire. This all lasted about 5 months before I improved. If this happens to you, hang in there. You will be normal again. All you need to do is get through one day at a time and give yourself credit every night for accomplishing one more day on this earth.

The news just keeps getting worse, so many killings!! 😭😭😭😭

The comments are really interesting. It seems like there is a lot of room for forgiveness for this woman but a similar story where a woman killed her 3 week old infant and was obviously suffering post partum psychosis people were ready to give her the chair. People are right, once she came out of the psychosis, she didn't have any memory or understanding of why she did what she did and her family was beside themselves for seeing her in her psychotic break and not realizing she could hurt the baby.

There are no words 😢 💔 my heart is broken 💔

It's very sad that even with 5 day a week PPD counseling and her husband working from home, that this would still have happened. I can't even imagine the pain this mother, father, extended family and community are going through. 🙏🏼

She will have to live with this…. It’s sad

This is totally insane! I can’t rap my mind around the mental illness of parents that take the lives of their innocent children! More needs to be done about post pardon depression! Noticing the signs early, help from family members in this area when they see “something off” and take custody of the children until the mother’s condition improve under medical supervision! This would help save the lives of these innocent children! Praying 🙏 for all the mothers of post Parton depression…it’s a very serious illness that effect the lives of the innocent 😢❤️✝️

It’s mind blowing how many idiotic degenerates are actually blaming the dad. The guy went to get take out food for everyone. He comes back and his kids are dead. God I hate society

Could there have been marital problems or something that led her to this??? We don’t really know

Andrea Yates all over again... Rest in Divine embrace little angels.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Nothing will come out of this because the states have cut funding for mental hospitals and facilities. They have closed so many mental institutions nationwide, that’s why we are in a crisis! RIP those beautiful children and prayers for the mother. BTW, the husband had to know something was going on with his wife😞

Wow. No words

Shocking!!! I wish Duxbury was like the town of Chillingbourne - no homicides ever!!! 💔💔💔

Oh my RIP!!

So very sad. I don’t quite understand the mom saying “That could have been me.” Very confused by this.

Very sad event. RIP those angels. Post PARTum is real. It happens more then we think. I had it, lasted for 30 days. Why don’t doctors take action of some kind?

May God wrap His arms around this tragic moment. 🙏🙏

World going crazy. God help us🙏💕

This is so sad. My heart goes out to those children. What I don’t understand is why the men don’t face charges? You must know your wife is going through something and yet you have another child? There was another woman, in NY that killed her three young children. When I looked her up o found a pic of her looking crazy lying on a hospital bed being rolled somewhere. She wasn’t cute and I’m sure she didn’t live in a cute house in the suburbs. At the end of the day this woman took 3 lives and she needs to pay for that:

Rest in peace

If they have the death penalty where she is, she should get it without question.

Children aren't a commodity their a blessing. May the children RIP ❤️🙏

My condolences to all the family including mom🤍🙏🕊️

😢😢😢 rest in peace babys
