I read the local papers from cities i used to live and read the most heartbreaking story from Detroit. A woman let two of her children die of the cold, she just had too many children, they all lived in a van and she couldn’t look after them. It’s like something out Gorky’s My Childhood.
She could have gotten help, it’s not like there is none, but I expect she was depressed and isolated. 😔
Gosh that’s horrific! It’s terrible that it’s the kids who usually pay the price for the poor mental health of their parents. I hope they’re at peace.
I have to imagine it would be mental health related. This isn’t the Victorian era, where people had as many kids as they could because it was a “numbers game” back then. I wonder what the mental health services are like in Detroit. Not a judgement, I just have no clue.

I don’t know about public or charity mental health services.
The bad thing is that the weather is very cold people will die of the cold. So people who refuse to be helped are in danger.
