I was quite disturbed to just see this story in the lunchtime news. A mother who admitted killing her three young disabled children will not face murder charges. While I have a lot of sympathy for her, disabled or not, these kids could have gone on to have happy lives; by letting her go free, the court has given the green light to the murder of people with disabilities and has lessened the value of our lives. Moreover, I know mothers of disabled children – among the bravest, strongest people I’ve ever known – who would be horrified at this news. I may not know everything about this precise case, but on the face of it, I must say I’m frankly petrified.
