TW for filicide

When a parent ends their child's life it's a tragedy. Of course, if that child was disabled suddenly their life is framed as the tragedy and their parent is viewed as the victim. There's a reason we have Disability Day of Mourning. This happens too often, and the criminals are so often not brought to justice.

Disability Day of Mourning will be this Sunday, on March 1st. Too many disabled people are taken from us by their parents, relatives or caregivers. If we don't bring attention to this, it'll just keep being ignored.

Medea Victoris

I have so much affection for Medea as a figure. You gave your everything to someone only to betrayed. The Heavens themselves are on your side and it doesn’t matter in the slightest.

today is Disability Day of Mourning, a day when we are to commemorate disabled people who are killed at the hands of their family and/or caregivers. there's so much i could say about it, but mostly i just want people to keep these victims in mind today. here's a webpage that acts as a memorial to these victims and a source for information on the topic. if you can, try to take a moment today to think about these victims and just generally keep them in your heart, they deserve that much.

Disability Day of Mourning 2026

Content warnings: filicide/murder, ableism, eugenics 1 March of each year marks Disability Day of Mourning, where our community commemorates the murder of Disabled people (of any age, not just children), by their carers, particularly parents. Yeah. The murder of Disabled people by their carers is such a big issue we have a day for it. And if the carers end up in court, they are frequently let off on the basis it was a 'mercy killing'. That is eugenics. A recent example of why the day is important is the murders of Leon, 16, and Otis, 14, in Australia. They had their whole lives ahead of them. They should still be alive. So many Disabled people should still be alive. Because of ableism and eugenics, they are not. That is why we mark 1 March each year. For the very many we should not have lost.

Today is Disability Day of Mourning (DDoM). It's a day to honor and remember all the disabled people murdered by their family members (filicide) and/or caregivers.

Today I'm sad. I'm angry. I'm exhausted. I hate that this day is necessary.

I wish I had more to say. I should schedule this post next year.
