Oh my….you poor woman. What she must have been feeling to be that desperate. I hope her soul is at rest now.

So sad. I just feel so sorry for the innocent young children of suicidal parents.

There are too many tragic stories like this. Often loved ones are not aware of how to help, and other close associates are not even aware someone is struggling. This is heartbreaking.

I hope she has found peace. She must have been so troubled to want to take her life and that of her child x

What a sad story. My thoughts are with the little girl, hoping she makes a full recovery.

that is a very sad thing. poor kid. definately seek help

I’m glad to hear that the girl survived. But it will be terrible to grow up without her mum.
Poor woman, choosing to end her life this way. 🙁

I’m lost for words. This is a very tragic event and my prayers are for the little girl. What this poor woman must have been going through I can’t imagine

somethings are just out of the range of what we would do ourselves,but i wonder what was she going through that made her so self destructive,and don’t forget her child,she did not want to leave her,i don’t agree at all with what she did,but i wonder why,and i am not willing to just say,what a cow she is,or what a bad mother she was.there are bigger issues here,stay calm and wait for the truth,news reports are selective and always trying to alarm,scare and distort things(a so called knee jerk reaction),and i just hope there is a family that child can go to,even if foster/adoption is the only option.

I wish mums who really wants to be heard but don’t want other families or friends to know to ring the help service…..that’s pretty sad choosing a day close to Christmas. hope the baby recovers fast and back to her families asap with lots of love.

This makes me so sad and is such a tragedy. I am so sorry that this woman felt she had no other option. My prayers are with the young child.

Oh my goodness. So much tradegy.

Such sad story. Mum must have felt very devastated and on a dark and lonely place. Hope & pray the baby girl is going to be alright. December/ January are difficult months for those who struggle and are feeling depressed. It can be very hard to search for help when you’re depressed. Let us all look around us and reach out to those who’re lonely and struggle, especially these months !! You never know what difference you make.

My heat breaks at this story. Poor baby girl 🙁 and i feel for mum who was obviously in a dark, horrible place to do what she did. Wish someone could’ve seen some signs and helped her. Must be a dark place to do that and take your baby with you 🙁

How tragic and sad. I hope the family is coping well with this news.

Hope the baby pulls through with not too much trauma.
I feel for the poor train driver.
Pity there was no-one to see the mother needed help – not everyone phones Lifeline etal.

  It is tragic for everyone and not everyone is able to get help when they are in this dark place.

Such sad and tragic news.

Another devastating tragedy. So important to get support when needed. My prayers are with the child and family during this sad time.

  Very well said and I agree.

More help and understanding is needed for suicide prevention. I feel so sorry for what that poor mother must have been going through to do such a thing and for that poor little baby that will grow without her mother.
