The "partially mummified" bodies of Christine Vance, 41, her sister Rebecca Vance, 42, and Rebecca's 14-year-old son were discovered in July in a rural campsite.
I don’t think the 13 year old was in any position to make an informed choice. Many people grow up to hold very different beliefs to those of their parents.
I’m not buying the family’s claim that there was no mental illness involved with the mother, either.
Tangential observation: if people weren’t fast enough to dodge an out of control bus or not strong enough to escape an attacker, that doesn’t somehow make it less tragic to most people. It’s strange to me that it’s somehow different when it comes to death stemming from low innate intelligence.
That’s fair. It was definitely child abuse in that instance.
But for the others, definitely neither sad nor tragic. They did something stupid and won a stupid prize for it. This wasn’t a case of people being too slow to dodge a train. It was people sitting on the tracks and just refusing to acknowledge it was coming.
I don’t know if ‘sad’ is the right word.
These people chose their fate. They were just too stupid to realize the consequences. Hopefully their principles kept them warm until the end.

Why are physical limitations not people’s fault but mental limitations are their fault?
I’m not trying to change your mind, just always wondered why people think this.
I find it interesting you went out of your way to ‘explain’ to someone why three dead people isnt “sad”
If something bothers you you have every option to just keep scrolling, friend. Have a lovely day.
