Latest news just on, 2 boys aged 2 and 6 found dead in a parked car.
Wasn't any more details but it has been a very warm day.
I do pity their parents. If it turns out they were negligent I can't find it in myself to condemn them, they have paid had a terrible price.
It was in Lennoxtown, north of Glasgow.

Oh, no! How terribly sad.

expatinscotland · 04/05/2008 00:30

It appears a man has been taken by ambulance to Glasgow Royal Infirmary now.

What a tragic thing to happen.

flossish · 04/05/2008 00:32

can't believe however that is was just sitting in a warm car...

expatinscotland · 04/05/2008 00:33

it's not a cold night.

i am farther west of there, in the highlands, and it's warm even here.

S1ur · 04/05/2008 00:35

This doesn't make sense. On any level.

I reserve comment until actual details. Awful though.

suedonim · 04/05/2008 01:06

He was taken from the sea, apparently. It all sounds just dreadful.

Oh it sounds worse than I originally thought, treating the deaths as suspicious.
How desparately sad
Those poor little souls.

QuintessentialShadows · 04/05/2008 07:56

Oh God, I lack words. . Are those two related? Awful tragedy.

lizziemun · 04/05/2008 09:24

I don't think that they are related just a very .

3littlefrogs · 04/05/2008 13:08

Please God this isn't anything to do with a custody battle.

So, so sad.

fin54 · 04/05/2008 15:02

Looks like they are both brothers, god love the poor mother and yes it does look like a custody battle ( doesn't it) but maybe not

so sad,the poor mum will be devastated.tragic

expatinscotland · 04/05/2008 23:53

following post-mortems, their deaths are being treated as murder.

stramash · 05/05/2008 10:08

The BBC website is now saying they were stabbed.

A two year-old ,Jesus Christ... how can anybody do this to their own children? I just don't get what's going on in fathers' ( and it's usually fathers)heads when they do this. I just don't understand.

Poor,poor mother.

SlartyBartFast · 05/05/2008 10:10

Update here
My heart goes out to their mum, I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling
The poor woman. She just lost her mum recently, too.

God. How will that mother live - I just don't know.

Unspeakably monstrous thing to do to those gorgeous boys

3littlefrogs · 05/05/2008 17:48

I don't know how that poor mother will get through this. I wonder if this was one of those cases where she was forced to allow access.

I worked with someone years ago who was forced by the courts to allow her ex access to her 2 litle girls, even though she knew he had abused them. She couldn't prove it though.
