Seeking to understand the inexplicable

Date February 24, 2012

Each year, an average of 27 Australian children die at the hands of their parents. What brings a parent to kill their own child? And what are the warning signs to pick those at risk? Amy Remeikis reports.

so are you saying it was the kids parents who did this? 

I know dead is dead and murder is horrific fullstop, but as a parent who could not imagine harming my kids a parent murdering their children is worse than a stranger doing it.
