Despite how the DDP government BOASTS the effects of their long-term care programs, this still keeps on, happening, why is that??? Another tragedy that stemmed from the stresses, the burdens of caring for someone with a disability, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The pair of mother and son were found dead in Taichung in their home on the third floor, the investigators deducted, that it may have been the mother who’d shouldered the burdens of caring for her own mentally decapacitated son too long she’d become too tried, she’d dosed her son with sleeping pills, killed him, then committed suicide, the autopsies are scheduled next week to clarify the causes of their deaths; the Taichung Social Services stated, that the Chen’s son was not registered as a handicap person, there wasn’t any records of the families filing him as such, and called out to the public, that if there are families in need, they can get help from government to step in to intervene to help with the care.
Chen returned home at around six, found his son lying in bed, with his wrists and ankles tied to the bed frame, the right hand was tied to his right ankle, his wife was found with her head down next to him on the floor. By the time the paramedics arrived, both had been declared dead.
Chen has a three-story mansion, the police found that the lock wasn’t broken, there’s no sign of entry from out, they’d found two fruit knife, one hammer, and an ax, with a-third of the bottle of sorghum wine remaining, along with the opened up pack of sleeping pill of Chen’s wife’s prescription, ten pills were gone, rope and belt on the door. Both the mother and the son showed no defensive wounds, no signs of struggle.
The D.A. went to the autopsies, the sixty-one-year-old Liu sustained two stabs in her abdomen, which killed her, with the attempted suicide knife wounds on her right wrist, the thirty-seven-year-old son sustained multiple blunt force trauma on his head, skin-deep cuts on his throat, with the stab into his right thorax being what murdered him.
Chen who lost his wife and his son stated that he was helpless, their daughter told, that her mother gave all she had in caring for her older brother, she was on medication for years on end, that she had it hard.
Based off of understanding, the son was mentally decapacitated, with symptoms of attention-deficit-hyperactivity, couldn’t take care of himself. The Chen’s worked in construction, paving the tiles, and would take their son with them when they go to work from time to time. The mother and son were very close, but Chen’s wife had insomnia and suffered from emotional troubles, and had been on meds for ten years.
And so, this is a combinations of the woman’s mental illness, combined with the burdens of caring for her own young son with disability that’s caused her to murder her own son, then committed suicide, and this may have well been prevented, had someone noted something, had this woman sought out help, like applying for the breather programs from the long-term care policies that’s been implemented since, 2010-ish??? Then, none of this would’ve, happened!
