A Melbourne woman knew it was the right day to kill her two sons because they both seemed happy, a jury has heard.
A Supreme Court jury heard Donna Fitchett, 49, was crying when she made the comments to nurse Kaylene Bradford.
"They were happy this morning and I knew that today was the day," she said.

The insanity of some people astounds me..... i was totally bewildered when i read this.....
Full Version: Mum knew it was 'right day to kill kids'
Poor kids. She must be insane, what a way to go, at the hands of your mother. 
This is more disturbing to me than any other similar story I have heard.
This ladies ying is yanged, her teeter has totered, she lost all her "cents" but still had a buck(knife) in the fridge, ten cards short of having a full deck.
Knew it was the right day ...
... my kids were happy!
Very sick woman ... if she ever snaps out of her myocardial malfunction, her heart will bust.

OMG...there could never, ever, be a right day to kill your kids... 
Every time I see stories like this one it truly scares me. It's scares me to think what is this world coming to? Children are getting killed left and right by the people who are suppose to love and care for them. 
This reminds me of a woman in the Eastern United States around 25 years aqo who killed her two pre-school-aged daughters (as I recall) "because the Blessed Virgin Mary promised me that this would protect them from the coming earthquakes."
The girls would be nearly 30 today and the quakes haven't come yet.
i always say this.. i dont see why they dont top themselves and just leave the kids out of it...
"I gave them tablets and they took them willingly. That told me that it was the right thing to do." they took them willingly because you are their mother and protector (apparently) and thought they were doing this because it was good for them i supposed..
poor little mites

She is completely crazy and definitely not capable of raising children. Poor kids, being killed by your own mother is a hell of a way to go.
I was that way the one year i taught Jr. High. But i never followed through. dang weakness.
Ive heard about this kind of murder...this reminds me of post-partum psychosis in a way.
Some depressed,mentally ill,or post-partum mothers honestly believe that something horrible is going to happen to their children,and that by killing them,they are "saving them"
from some painful catastrophe."Protecting" them from a fate worse than death,if you will.
However,her kids were eleven and nine.Could post-partum depression last that long?
Those poor little boys.At least they never knew what was happening.

This woman needs to be put in a mental hospital...
I think I'm going to throw up! HOW COULD ANYONE KILL THEIR OWN CHILDREN????????????????? Susan Smith was another quack job who decided her boyfriend was more important than her boys and drown them in her car. That has got to be the worst thing ever to do in life. My mind doesn't even go there.......Poor little boys just listening to mommy and took the pills she gave them. . The woman needs some serious help with her mind.

I dunno. I occasionally have to pore through microfilms of late 19th Century newspapers and the crimes reported seem to have been just as crazy and bloody then.

I agree with this statement 100%. Well said!
I have noticed that even older siblings have that trust factor too. It's mostly used for tormenting, but it's there all the same.
Somebody's obviously one eggroll short of a pu-pu platter!
Thats just crule. What deep dark twisted place in the mind to go as far as thinking about it let alone to do such a thing to ones babies. I would of thought it impossibale for a mother to think that way.
Theres no good reason at all for a repuslive desicion like that. To go through with the fact of giving them something to take.
I lay awake at night finding it hard enough to not worry about how this horrible world could possibly take my babies, and a mother goes and takes her own children. Insainty like that must be the devil.

Stories like this make me SICK..Mentally ill or not, I cannot possibly understand that children are killed by the people they trust the most in this world, too often. Never ceases to amaze me, that so many kill their children instead of themselves..I hope she rots in Hell..JN
