According to the police report, the 56-year-old woman strangled and killed her 26-year-old son who has a severe mental disability, using a necktie. She then tried to kill herself by taking sleep pills but failed. The woman confessed her crime to her husband who was at work at the time, and he convinced her to turn herself in.
At the police station, the mother stated, "My son had disabilities since his birth, and recently he started to have epilepsy seizures; I have to look after him all day long. I didn't sleep for the last two days, and it was difficult to take care of him who couldn't even move."

I've worked with children with severe mental disabilities and I can honestly say that I understand why she did that. I'm not saying I would do it or that it's acceptable, but I can see what pushed her to do it. She's spent 26 years of her life caring for a child who doesn't speak, probably cannot control his emotions etc. When you have a child, you expect to provide for them for 18-24 years on average. You expect to change their diapers, feed them, and dress them until they're around 3-6 years old. What this woman got was 26 years of caring 24/7 for a baby in a grown man's body with a grown man's strength and no visible escape for the rest of her life. Having a child with a severe mental disability can be a blessing or it can be a curse and you can't really understand unless you've been through it.

I think I understand why she did that. The burden to take care a disability son/daughter is so high.

I think only people with mentally disabled kids or have worked around them have a right to judge her. At least here, we have homes for them and places they can leave them to go on vacation.

i feel especially bad for the father.... the son can perhaps rest in piece now, but the mother will be locked up for at least manslaughter, and the dad lost his entire family.

i feel bad for her. anyone criticizing her should try taking care of their dad for a month when he's 90 years old and unable to wipe his butt. then multiply that by 1000000 and u might realize how much work these parents have gone thru for 26 years~ its crazy sacrifice when i see parents taking care of people who cant take care of themselves, and the messed up thing is its alll of their lives they have to sacrifice. it sucks because now she's going to be charged with murder and the dad cant take care of the kid assuming he works. all the mom did was the only thing she could have without going insane. i dont blame her at all.
