One life experience does not define all the others who wish to express without disdain. There is no way for you to know the personal experience, knowledge, faith, or varied background that each individual represents. What you can realize is that your's is not the only one represented here.
In truth, whether she was mentally competent or not is even an issue. She will not have to face the legal system. As joepole says, problem solved.

No the problem is not solved sister because the country is full of people just like you who do not seem to understand the situation at hand. It is that discussion we have been having today and it's led to this long, heated thread. My life experience with it (mental illness and depression) is the same experience that thousands of others across this country are experiencing DAILY!. Perhaps you haven't experienced, perhaps it's going on in your own homoe right now with someone and you don't realize it, perhaps you have a coworker severely depressed and you don't realize it, and the point is that it is very real. It touches more lives than you can know and it might just be your life next. I do realize that we all share different experiences here which is what we like to share with each other and learn from each other. Perhaps you have missed that?
I suggest this to you before you keep trying to hack away at me for trying to get you to see what perhaps could have led this woman down this road, why don't you take the time to read up on depression? Why don't you Google "Mothers who kill children"? Read those stories and statistics for awhile and see if your attitude changes. Why don't you spend some time perhaps on the Suicide Prevention hotline and talk to these people and see if your attitude changes? I think it would. God did not put us on this earth to tear each other down but rather to lift each other up. These people really need our strong shoulders to lean on and our voices to speak out and get them some help.
