Dad may have given reasons for possible murder-suicide

Note found with 4 dead in Whitehall
Dad may have given reasons for possible murder-suicide
By Elizabeth Gibson
Police found a suicide note that appeared to be written by the father of the Whitehall family of four that officers found shot to death Wednesday afternoon, Whitehall Sgt. Daniel Kelso said yesterday….(Full Story)
_____________
F4L: The article states:
About two-thirds of men who kill their children and themselves take their spouses’ lives as well, whereas women who kill their children seldom murder their husbands before committing suicide, according to the study.
Those are useless, and worse, misleading statistics. “Seldom” is a fuzzy dimension, while “about two-thirds” is not. However, far more important statistics are not mentioned:
- Men in the USA commit suidice more than four times as often as women do (USA Suicide Deaths 1979 - 1996)
- “…a divorced father is ten times more likely to commit suicide than a divorced mother, and three times more likely to commit suicide than a married father.” (Distraught Father’s Courthouse Suicide Highlights America’s Male Suicide Epidemic, by Glenn Sacks; San Diego Union-Tribune (1/11/2002)
- There are about 25,000 male and 5,200 female suicide deaths in the USA each year (USA Suicide Deaths 1979 - 1996)
- In 1995, there were about 1,300 homicides of children aged less than one year to 14 years in the USA (National Center for Injury Prevention and Control)
- Mothers commit 70 percent of fatal injuries to children (Child Maltreatment 1999, Fig. 4-3 http://www.calib.com/nccanch/chma99.pdf)
- “Children residing in households with adults unrelated to them were 8 times more likely to die of maltreatment than children in households with 2 biological
parents…. Risk of maltreatment death also was elevated for children residing with step, foster, or adoptive parents…, and in households with other adult relatives present…. Risk of maltreatment death was not increased for children living with only 1 biological parent” (Household Composition and Risk of Fatal Child Maltreatment, by Michael N. Stiffman, MD, MSPH, Bernard Ewigman, MD, MSPH, Patricia Adam, MD, MSPH, Robin Kruse, PhD, and Darla Horman MS; 2002 Full Article)
Going by all of that, it follows that:
- Only an extremely small fraction of men or women who commit suicide will also kill other family members, such as their children.
- The majority of children killed in families are being killed by their mothers.
- Of the children in families who are being killed by someone other than their mothers, very few are being killed by their natural fathers. Far fewer of those children are being killed by a natural father who also committed suicide.
- Women who kill their husbands or boyfriends seldom kill also their children. The same is also true of men who kill their wives or girlfriends, while such men - if they also kill their natural children - are often given to kill themselves.
- The article in the Columbus Dispatch was out to demonize natural fathers of children.
The latest and exact numbers for all of the statistics used in those conclusions will be somewhat but not essentially different. I do not have enough time to find and present them. Perhaps someone will be so good as to do the work necessary for that. If you do, please post a comment here.

Scotland - Children’s Rights Demo - 2009 03 04
January 31, 2009 by Walter Schneider.
(Update 2009 02 02: Note that the date and time for the Children’s Rights Demonstration have been changed to March 4, 2009, 11:00 a.m.)
Demonstration protesting against Social services (SS). Adopting children to strangers when grandparents and extended family with a little help could have coped adequately, keeping children in a stable home environment.
A foreign national left this on the Daily Mail comments section.
“…what is wrong with you people in this country that you allow your government to get away with this?”
That comment got to me and inspired me to organise this demo. .
We are holding a demonstration on Wednesday March 4th, 2009 at 11:00am
At George Square Glasgow. Everyone invited. “bring yer ain piece”.
Reason:- To highlight the terrible treatment of children and their extended families at the hands of our “out of touch Social Services departments “. and to demand fairer treatment of our children and families and that policies, more in line with the children’s welfare and the public’s wishes are immediately adopted by all Social Service Departments, who now appear to be wholly incompetent or to be acting as a law unto themselves with complete disregard for the children’s “Best Interests ” and the UN convention for the rights of the Child. Further, we ask that the government incorporates the New Proposals by Grandparents Apart UK for greater inclusion for grandparents and wider family members.
Article 8
- States Parties undertake to respect the right of the child to preserve his or her identity, including nationality, name and family relations as recognized by law without unlawful interference.
Heartless SS snatch children, alienate them from their family - usually telling them their family does not want to see them again, then adopt them out without the consent of the children’s rightful parents or custodians.
To increase their field of takers the SS now adopt to gay and single people completely against 90% of the publics wishes, the latest being a girl who was afraid of men was adopted to two gay men. (What will that do to her?) whilst extended family are classed as “not relevant “. This is in complete disregard of the UN Convention, which the United Kingdom has signed but continues to flout with impunity.
A beautiful business plan for commodities, but children and families are not commodities, they are human beings and need to be treated with love, respect and kindness for them to grow into decent citizens and family units.
Children who are separated from their entire extended family lose all stability and identity and are very often low achievers in society end up turning to gangs as a substitute for family comfort and to find the stability that was torn from them by incredible decisions made by Social Workers . They can become the thugs of tomorrow or, worse yet, suffer years of state-sponsored abuse. They lose all respect for anybody. Possibly the reason citizen’s and older people are afraid to go out alone at night.
Last year a petition was lodged with the Scottish parliament petitions by Grandparents Apart UK, asking the petition’s committee to urge the government to investigate if professionals that deal with children were actually working in the child’s best interests or their own. This petition was altered by the Scottish government, to read differently, and closed.
The Government of this country knows full well the feelings of the general public but choose to ignore or cover up the shambolic and criminal state of our Social services and their out of kilter policies. It is no longer time for petitioning and being ignored, when it comes to our children only protesting will get attention.
Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politics?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”

F4L: The concerns addressed by the demo are over the Scottish SS having waged a two-year-long court battle, thereby exhausting the resources of a Scottish couple, the grandparents of two children, a five-year-old boy and his four-year-old sister, in their care.
They spent two years involved in court cases over the children, whose 26-year-old mother is a recovering heroin addict, and finally agreed to adoption when they were faced with mounting legal bills.
The 59-year-old grandfather, who has seven children of his own, told the Daily Telegraph: “There is no way we’d have allowed the children to be adopted if we’d known they were going to a gay couple….(Full Story)
It is a sad and grievously wrong situation when two loving grandparents are being crushed and robbed by the State of the grandchildren whom they were raising in a loving family. There is no excuse for that abuse of power!
This is what it is all about:
“Human rights” laws are Orwellian doublespeak for giving “rights” to some people and taking them away from others.
