This week a mother, Kelli Stapleton attempted to kill herself and her 14 year old daughter. The daughter had been in a treatment center for several months and had recently returned home. Issy....the daughter is extremely violent. Both mother and daughter survived but Issy is still in the hospital and the extent of her injuries are unknown. Kelli lit two grills and put them in her minivan with herself and Kelli inside. Kelli is now in jail charged with attempted murder.
Kelli has a blog The Status Woe outlining her life with Issy and her frustrations trying to get help for her daughter. She did everything humanly possible and her efforts were paying off.
I think what set her over the edge is the fact that the school that Issy was to attend told her and her husband that Issy would not be allowed to attend. Kelli was told she should homeschool. The reason given is that it would be a conflict of interest.....Kelli's husband and Issy's father is the principal of that school.
It's a local story for me. I've read the news reports and read the blog after the fact. Of course I do not condone violence toward children...I feel much sympathy toward Kelli.
Sorry....I am not able to provide links...(I am an idiot) but I am hoping someone can for me. Curious to see what you guys think.
