Looking at her facebook postings my impression is attention seeking and victim like behaviour which are traits of Borderline PD.
IMO
Hi all! Just found this thread. How horrific! My prayers to the surviving children and other family members.
I have not read the sm rumors. My first thought was some kind of extreme religious type of motivation? Maybe it was meant to be murder/suicide of the whole family. A folie a deux type of thing? jmo
Very sad for the kids
Found one that says he was remanded also.Why are they all reporting it as SB has been remanded and not BM as well ?

She also has the 3 attempted murder charges over 2 days which he doesn't. But I'd be happy for them to have equal focus until we know more.Some people have been saying this is sexist because media are just focussed on the mother. Maybe it's because she reportedly shouted and said "they're my children' and complained about the court getting their names right...whilst the male accused stayed silent. So really just less to report about him?
Or maybe the people in the court heard more about what happened and think the charges against the man are less likely to stick?
6 children. of course there is the possibility some may have been SEN or have disabilities.
Thanks for your detailed response. I didn't read much into it, probably should have before posting. Was thinking about Beverley Allitt. Something about her FB history made me think of that.The term Munchausens is no longer used.
The term used now is Factitious disorder/ on self or on another.
It's something I know a little about and on what we know now, I would have that waaaay down the list on motive.
People with FDIA don't want to kill the person they're using - there is usually long term, increasing abuse, yes, and perhaps occasionally life is lost as a result but that would be unintentional.
This case is very clearly a double murder and triple attempted murder.
I sincerely hope the surviving children are placed in good care and can go on to be given some semblance of a 'normal life' though the older 2 children will never be able to forget the horror they've been through

Special educational needs.This American is not familiar with the acronym 'SEN' - can you enlighten please?
I'm sure I'm a day late and a dollar short, but did they ever release the cause of deaths?

Me too. And those very vocal relatives haven't denied any of it as far as I've seen. Those poor, poor little kids, I hope the surviving ones are in a safe loving place right now, the oldest ones will likely never get over this.From what I’ve seen unofficially reported ... this is possibly the sickest case I’ve ever read about.
