Not necessarily home abuse, could be something like a summer camp where they were abused by a staff member. Perhaps church, perhaps a neighbor. We'll never know and I can say this is what it is, but, imo, I would not be terribly surprised. This is sad.

The reporter failed in investigating and providing more information. LiberalFighter Mar 2022 #9

There is more info at these links (one is The Daily Mail, fwiw): demmiblue Mar 2022 #15

They have a brother whom they didn't tell anything about this. LisaL Mar 2022 #25

Perhaps they believed he would try to stop them. Effete Snob Mar 2022 #37

This goes against what I have read about assisted suicide in Switzerland. BigmanPigman Mar 2022 #10

They didn't even tell their brother they were going to do it. LisaL Mar 2022 #24

Yeah, I found the story kind of sad, even though it was their choice. BlackSkimmer Mar 2022 #29

Yep. Friends and relatives seem completely puzzled by this. LisaL Mar 2022 #30

That's not suspicious, in and of itself. Mariana Mar 2022 #77

Something is suspicious here Meowmee Mar 2022 #31

Of course they were in good mental health Effete Snob Mar 2022 #35

So I guess Meowmee Mar 2022 #38

Kind of a paradox Effete Snob Mar 2022 #39

You can only do assisted suicide if you are terminally ill Meowmee Mar 2022 #55

Actually, not at the place they chose. They won't let just anyone check out for any reason, but smirkymonkey Mar 2022 #56
