Oh my god.

Apparently dead is the new alive. :headshake

There's probably all sorts of complex psychological reasons for someone to kill their family. If I recall correctly from the last time this topic came up men are far more likely to kill their whole family than women. As I also recall, where women kill their children there is usually mental illness involved (such as post natal depression of a severe kind) whereas men who kill their families are more likely to be acting on different impulses, not governed by insanity.

Why would those men kill their families? Like I said, there are probably all kinds of psychological factors, but mainly I think its because we are at our core, just another animal. Look at the animal kingdom and you will find plenty of murderous mums and dads.

Perhaps that is because women are typically smaller than their male counterparts and don't usually kill by the same means. Women tend to use drowning or drugs to murder their children. Men on the other hand are far more likely to murder with a weapon like a knife or gun.

FAIL! Sorry, first off, no one murders their children without severe mental illness involved. Secondly, perhaps women are more open in sharing emotional things beforehand and thats why their diagnoses are more readily defined, categorized than mens.

Tain't necessarily so.

Or, perhaps the answer is "depends on how you define mental illness."

Being a self-centered bitch is not a mental illness.

(Susan Smith, Casey Anthony)

thanks wolf - I'll take the "definition" option.
IMO - if you kill your own kids you're nuts - period. Then again perhaps there is a Darwinian justice here somewhere.

Yah I am not sure how men could act on "different impulses" and kill their family. Is really killing your family merely just an impulse? Or an insane impulse that was carried out?

I was referring to the stuff we looked at on the bad santa thread. There were various sources shown which suggested that there was a difference in terms of mental health.

Naturally it depends on your definition of what is or is not mentally healthy.
