A sad, tragic case. WTF is wrong with people? Even if the husband was the biggest A-hole in the Milky Way, you DO NOT KILL their children.

NAPERVILLE, Ill. — An Illinois prosecutor says the suburban Chicago woman charged with stabbing to death her son and a little girl she was babysitting told investigators she was upset by her father's recent death.

Those details and others are emerging as investigators try to determine why Elzbieta Plackowska (elz-BEE'-tah plah-KOW'-skuh) may have stabbed her 7-year-old son Justin 100 times and 5-year-old Olivia Dworakowski 50 times this week.

But beneath that ordinary domestic facade lay far more violent resentments between the husband and wife, prosecutors say, eventually leading Elzbieta Plackowska to kill her own 7-year-old son, stabbing him 100 times Tuesday, all out of anger at her often-absent, truck driver husband. She then fatally and repeatedly stabbed a 5-year-old girl she was babysitting.

"She felt he truly did not appreciate how fine a wife and mother she was," DuPage County State's Attorney Robert Berlin said. "She told the detectives that she thought by killing (her son) Justin she would make her husband hurt the way she hurt in their relationship."

Our society is becoming cold, isolated, and violent.

1. She's given the authorities multiple stories

It's a sad situation.

2. No, disturbed people have acted in disturbing ways throughout human history.

Female anger directed at partners but taken out on the kids is not unusual.

5. You have a point

I suppose the increasing reach of information exposes us to these cases more often.

It's rough because I want to stay informed about the world around me, so that I can base my opinions on facts. Unfortunately, reading stories like this is a gut punch.

4. "She felt he truly did not appreciate how fine a wife and mother she was,"

Ummm....

6. This disturbing story is not exemplary of anything that can

be broadened to include the whole society. It is the act of a disturbed person, and that is all it is.

7. Stabbed 50 and100 times?

Violence that deep cannot just have come from a woman angry at her husband. This was deep seated rage and hate. I can't even conceive the rage you need to be able to stab a child 100 times.

9. How can any parent do that to their children?

8. Horrible!

Truly disturbing and makes me sick to my stomach that anyone
could do this to children.

10. What is it with Naperville Moms??

There was that other psycho woman several years ago that slaughtered her three kids because of divorce iirc...
