The fact is the most of our youth are not so smart. They're confused because of lack of good education under the NDC gov't. They've been targeted by the NDC; most of them gave sold their conscience to the NDC. It's up to the NPP try to educate and inspire the youth to be smart. Who's going to lead the charge and how are we going to do it?

The Family court have erred with it's decision not to make the children "Wards of Court" while appropriate alternative carers were found. The father was the most suitable to step in, but certainly not a Schizophrenic mother. Heavens!!

Do you understand the Law at all? Yes, she may be ill but a crime has been commited. So she has to be arrested and proven in a court of law that she committed the crime. It is in the course of this that her mental capacity to commit the crime will be examined. Then her medical history will be studied while she undergoes a court-ordered medical examination. Even if it's proved she committed the crime, was she for example aware of what she was doing? It is only after critically examining all these facts that a determination can be made by the judge to find her either not guilty by reason of insanity or guilty but insane--depending on the criminal code. Either way, she'll become the ward of the State and receive medical treatment, and be released only when the State determines she won't pose any danger to herself or to society. So if her mental illness caused her to commit the crime, she'll receive medical treatment but the law must take its course.

Right,at the time the woman needed his help was the time he left her because she is now mentally ill,no responsible man will leave the wife at a difficult time in her life,you married her and promised that for better or worse you will be the husband but when the worse time came you left the home and later said you want the kids.
The ruling which was reported in the earlier report that the man should go for the kids triggered this action,he left the woman who is sick and now coming to take the kids away for her to live alone to suffer more,what do you expect.
Somebody,especially a family member should have always be with this woman,with the mental problem she should not have been left alone with the kids.

don't forget that postpartum psychosis is essentially a bipolar disorder that is coincidentally triggers as a result of the major hormonal changes after child birth. however, caught on time, it can be successfully treated. left unchecked it can result in full blown and entrenched bipolar disorder, as the underlying cause for disordered behavioral functioning persist and the individual is further stressed by 'environmental response' of family, neighbors, relations etc.

This is a sordid spectacle. But you see our judicial system must somehow be blamed for this unfortunate situation. The husband's initial attempt to take custody of the kids to perhaps avert this occurrence was frustrated by the court. This is not to say the husband did right to abandon the wife. As a caring father, I expected him to also have the same fatherly care for the wife to see to her total recuperation. Its even possible that the man's absence from the matrimonial home aggravated the woman's plight. Too bad. Men should learn to be caring and accommodating no matter the circumstance. I pity the woman. Did I hear the police right? Preparing her for court to be incarcerated? A mad woman? Why not rather seek medical attention for the poor lady. At least there is enough evidence to show that she is a mental patient. I think we should have a second look at some of our laws.

its really sad - that the children were not protected. the family and society as a whole, let both the kids and this mentally disturbed woman down. reading from the story, she really did seem to love here children and did the best she could for them, when she was lucid. but in bout of deranged state, she did the dastardly act that ended the lives of the children.

Could it be that she killed them because of. the hatred she has for the husband? Plus, weather or not, she's mentally disabled, the law cannot let her go just like that. Police has to carry out their investigation, so please, allow them. And relating this issue with politics, is totally misplaced & childish.

No wonder Anas exposed them. On what grounds could a Judge denied a Working man the Custody or his 2 daughters with their certified derailed Mother! Is this not a case of "9 AM massage", or "Aponkye nkrakra" in travesty of Justice!. It's the Judge who had caused the death of these girls.

Thank you. She needs help not to be arrested! Such ignorant idiots!
Do you understand the Law at all? Yes, she may be ill but a crime has been commited. So she has to be arrested and proven in a court of law that she committed the crime. It is in the course of this that her mental capacity to ...

I agree with you. Maybe the man started dating another woman just after the wife had the second baby. It could be broken heart. The husband should be blamed

what have Akyems done in this case
Depression at a different level often leads to these actions. We should never judge this woman but rather offer the support mechanism to help her to normality.I am pretty sure there is no man behind to support as as well.
Hmm, a very sad case. The kids would have been alive today had the courts agreed to give them to the man...
I believe if he had stayed with the family, the burden on the mother would have been less - thereby reducing the mental stress.
Right,at the time the woman needed his help was the time he left her because she is now mentally ill,no responsible man will leave the wife at a difficult time in her life,you married her and promised that for better or wors ...

May The Souls Of The Kids Rest In Peace.
Meanwhile I wish the mother recovers from the 'shock' and also from her mental illness.
Formerly of Fijai and then UST?
If yes, I need to contact him!
The woman needs medical attention, not a court hearing. I don't know what the judge who gave custody of the children to the sick woman is thinking now, but this whole episode is sad.
The court and the judge played contributory professional negligence if truly the ladies mental health condition was brought to their attention as a basis to take away the children. In fact Ghanaians are often not proactive an ...

Poor woman,this is the nature of the sickness-- schizophrenia--no court can help her, she now needs help, social attention.
Please she needs to be admitted to Psychiatry hospital. Poor woman. May the children rest in peace.
Our doctors need to be aware of PPD. Its quite a serious issue and manifest itself almost like a psychiatric one. Maybe this lady suffered from it and went misdiagnosed. Sad for the whole family. My prayers are with them.
You are right. PPD is what I thought of when I read this too.
The title of this article itself "Deranged accountant kills daughters" reveals what we as a society think of mental health.
This is definitely not PPD. The last child was 6 years. Her schizophrenia might have been preceded by postpartum psychosis but after 6 years, the condition cannot still be called post-partum depression. Yes, your doctors know ...

All Esi is saying is that the PPD (i think it was most likely puerperal psychosis) must have been misdiagnosed and therefore she did not the treatment she needed.

The court should taken the situation of the woman and handed over the poor children to the man, they would have been alive by now.
The mother should join the husband to recover under treatment. The husband is her best friend till death do them part.

We are quick to put mental patients before court and possibly get them sentenced the same day. Mentally-alert criminals go to court sparsely and never get sentenced for years until the cases get dismissed.
This lady needs psychiatric care not the courts. Please, see to it that she gets proper mental health support and care. Thanks
Please, Naana Bray is not a Chartered Accountant and the reporter must cross check.
This is strange indeed!!.Why allow a person with a severe mental condition to be in charge of her children?FOR THEIR SAFETY THE HUSBAND SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN CUSTODY OF THE CHILDREN.
she did not get the help she required . Our mental health services are flawed because the govt has not paid too much attention

Come on journalists - one doesn't use woods like derranged! Aba! You say mentally ill instead!
Maybe she had Post-Partum depression which turned into something more serious, becouse she didnt get the right medications. I think the judge who refused to give the children to the husband, should be sent to jail.
Is this scientific fact or your opinion? Evidence please!
Of course, we know she is mental ill to have committed homicide. By law she will be charged for that offence and the courts having realise she is
mentally ill, she will be given a psychiatric hospital order for treatment. ...
