A shocking piece of news from Hyderabad has grabbed the attention of many on the internet, creating widespread social media chaos due to its horrifying contents.
Reports have revealed that a Hyderabad-based couple killed their little son and throttled their daughter before turning to suicide and handing themselves over to death as well.
Chandrasekhar Reddy, who worked as a junior lecturer in a private college, had lost his job a while back, leading to financial problems for the family.
Although taking one’s own life is definitely tragic, no one has the right to decide when the lives of others shall end, including those of their own families.
The couple had no right to cut short the lives of their son and daughter. The children were denied a full shot at their lives, all because their parents thought that it was the right thing to do.
Our health system provides free-of-cost treatment to those affected physically. But what of those people who carry their mental burden day in and day out, ruining their psychological health?
The system must be modified to provide easy and meaningful access to help and counselling at a nominal rate so that incidents like this one can be prevented in the future.
