I am age 37 & I have known people that were Mentally Ill, but again I say to you she wasn't a little off, she commited 5 murders of her own children.
I believe that you believe in what your saying & I think you are sincere in your wish that I not have to witness or be involved in a situation like this as do I. But this woman will never be an asset of our society, she could never be trusted to do anything.
Whether she is nuts or not, makes no difference to me. She will always be a Liability & a danger to society, therefore we are better off without her.
I realize you look at my comments and say this fellow is without compassion, that is wrong I have lot's of compassion for the victims.

I agree. Sorry but I have a good friend who was diagnosed with a mental illness, in fact she was also having psychotic episodes and they found her with the 4 yr old driving aimlessly through her small town lost. You know alot of pity can be placed on those with a mental illness, and maybe partially rightfully so. But anytime any disease inflicts harm on another person it is wrong, ecspecially when small innocent children are murdered. There is never a good enough excuse to excuse murder. Sorry, it doesnt fly. There is absolutely nothing Andrea yates can contribute to society except more children which she has proven she could/would harm. You know I think this was not even a psychotic break. I think her life turned into something she didnt expect. She was angry, had PPD, and lashed out irrationally. I have had PPD that isnt a good enough excuse sorry. I am a Stay Home mom too, yes it is stressful. Yet even with ppd somehow I managed to not kill anyone. Hmmmm.....
