Two little children stabbed to death this morning

40 year old man also has some injuries. Police not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
We are hearing more of this since lock down and it is only going to get worse.

I agree, lockdown is not to blame for the violence, violent abusers (overwhelmingly men) are to blame. Lockdown is making it harder for victims to escape. The answer is to recognise the issue and help the victims. This problem will not go away if lockdown is lifted.
I realise my OP might not have made my opinion clear. I was trying to be cautious with my words.

I'm afraid I agree with Americanmary1

This is absolutely tragic and we don't know the circumstances but if either of those parents had recognised things were reaching breaking point and spent the day at the park to get out of the house, what would MN/FB/the BBC have said about that?

Just remember before you have your rants, you have no idea what's going on in other people's lives.

I think it's inevitable that vulnerable children are going to be at increased risk of abuse now. Remote contact from school can only do so much.

From the pictures, the crime scene is a flat above a shop. We don't know what happened but I think we can all imagine a parent pushed to the edge in that situation at the moment.
