Thank you leenia.

Wolfgang, why wouldn't she include own child? If one is deluded enough to believe that one's own messy self destruction is going to provide one some sort of favour and great purpose in the eyes of their god, in some wonderous after life, why not take your child with you? That kind of thinking certainly worked for the followers of the likes of Jim Jones.

While calculated self destructive behavior doesn't make sense to a rational person, it seems to make sense to those who are "off their nut".
