Jag tror man måste fundera kring att det var ett samlat beslut, många föräldrar tar ensidiga beslut om att döda sina barn och en del av dessa drivs av hat och hämnd, så hur uppkommer en situation där det finn sammanhållning i att ta barnens liv, driven av barmhärtighetsmotiv? Hämnd och hat mot barnen, knappast. Så vad återstår då?
Sedan är det en helt annan diskussion om det var sjukligt beteende av föräldrarna, och det kan det vara eller kanske var det troligt att de tappat verklighetsuppfattningen. Men förstod de att barnen skulle dö? det får vi nog utgå från. Så nivån av verklighetsnärvaro måste väl ha varit hög nog att de förstod vad de skulle göra och konsekvenserna, så teoretiskt sett skulle de nog ha varit ansvariga inför domstol om de inte tagit sina liv.
Jag menar inte att jag förhärligar eller förringar gärningarna, men i alla andra fall av mord så är vi intresserade av motivet. Så om någon vet hur "Folie a deux" fungerar får de gärna förklara.
Vid lite googling kan man läsa om de mest bisarra fall av folie au deux. Lite info bl a härifrån

Its characteristic feature is transmission of delusions from “inducer” (primary patient), who is the “originally” ill patient and suffers from a psychotic disorder, to another person who may share the inducer's delusions in entirety or in part.
Risk factors include female gender, mental retardation, suggestibility, passivity, histrionic personality traits and suspiciousness, in the secondary patient. Moreover, dependency, ambivalent relationships and repetitive crises have been seen in the family.
These include; delusion develops in an individual in the context of a close relationship with another person(s), who has an already established delusion (Criterion A), and delusions are similar in content (Criterion B), the disturbance is not accounted for by another psychotic disorder or physiological effects of a substance or any general medical condition (Criterion C)
According to Lazarus certain conditions have to be present for the development of folie a deux, these include an intimate emotional association between the primary and secondary and a genetic predisposition to psychosis such as blood relations with the primary case
The classification of shared delusional disorder by Gralnick suggests four types. Folie impose, folie simultanée, folie communiqué, folie induite
Almost all cases in literature involve members of a nuclear family 9. In this 70 percent are between mother and child, husband and wife or siblings 10.
In these relationships the primary usually professes certain characteristics that place him/her in the position of dominance. As suggested by other case reports as well, the inducer is usually advanced age, superior intelligence with a forceful aggressive character while the induced is younger in age, paranoid, dependant and less intelligent than the primary 11, 12.
The relative isolation further augments the process of the transference of the delusions, and the course can usually be chronic, as there is lack of intervention and identification of the disease by other people around.
The secondary, provoked by his dependence and submissive passive personality accepts the delusions than risk losing the intimate relationship with the primary 13, further resulting in seclusion and separation from reality.
This type of environment breeds a mistrustful and hostile relation with the rest of the world and this further leads to paranoia which can then cause delusions of persecution as in our case.
