This lady killed her kids not because of her medications but because of her illness. The reason we see people taking common SRI-type antidepressants commit acts of violence is because they're mentally ill and predisposed to violence. Millions of people take such meds without ill effect and in fact experience life saving benefit. Now that she was taking Haldol makes it clear that this wasn't simply garden variety depression. And frankly if she was having such a tough time with her brood she should've stopped giving birth like a rabbit and she should've sent the kids to school instead of keeping them at home with her to drive this already unbalanced loon over the edge. Just stupid!! Bill.
