Lucy Letby

[normal rules]

I still find it incredulous that a person entrusted with caring for societies most vulnerable has done this.
Part of me still wants to believe she did not do this.
And part of me wants to throw her in a room with those babies mothers until they are done with her.
rapist cops?
serial murdering nurses and doctors? 
what the f**k has this world come to?

The world was always like this. There's always been people who are, for whatever reason, outside normal morality.

I'd broadly agree with that BB

Even the term "Human Resources" is something I find offensive. It reduces colleagues to a "resource".

Is that really what HR means?
I honestly thought it meant that that department had the resources to help the (human) workforce.

Belton,I've spent a good few years working alongside HR departments,and the only thing they see is a resource in their workplace.
Most working in HR tend to have a degree in law,or on occasions pyschology(the better ones in my opinion) and see the workforce as another number that can be employed or dismissed on their order.
Most employees in big organisations are scared sh#tless of them.
They don't go to them for help or guidance.

I get that they do treat people as nothing but resources, but thought they at least pretended to be there in the best interests of employees. I have had my own fair share of shit from HR.

There's never been any pretence in my dealings with them.

I do wonder if she would have been a murderer if she didn’t hadn’t had the opportunity as a nurse. Would she have repressed the urge to kill if she didn’t have the means?

[Iberian Red]

I think that's impossible for anyone to answer.
It's not as clear cut as a shoplifter can only shoplift in a shop

The victim personal statements heard in court today were some of the most heartbreaking accounts I've ever read or heard. Those poor families.

I also can't help but think of Letby's colleagues, friends and family, all of whom have been betrayed by her.

Regarding Letby, her crimes are inconceivable for any rational person. One logical assumption of a motive, based on the available evidence, would be munchausen by proxy, but even that leaves you baffled as to how a clearly intelligent individual was able to overcome her internal barriers to repeatedly kill or attempt to kill babies. I doubt even she'd be explain why she has committed these crimes.

Sadly, there is a good chance that more crimes by Letby are to be detected.

The only logical explanation for me is that she derived some sort of perverted pleasure in doing it, nothing else makes any sense of it.

I think in cases like hers it's something to do with the part of the brain that controls emotion doesn't work properly.
