This is a legitimate article topic that will require expansion by others. I'm not the psychology or crime scholar here, this was just my attempt to get the legitimate article started in the hopes others of more expert backgrounds than I would fill the content void.

I have enlisted the help of my fellow Wikipedians on the Homicide and Suicide talk pages in an effort to get expert content expansion for this article. Please be patient. J.A.McCoy 00:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Patience rewarded. As the article was originally posted, the CSD tag was reasonable based on content. However, I have found sufficient notability establishing references, including books written by a forensic psychiatrist, a doctor, peer reviewed articles and several news reports. This article should not be deleted. I am composing the expanded article with references as I type, but it takes me forever to edit my work. I'm removing the CSD tag. If someone feels I'm wrong, then put it back in, but please wait until I have at least some of the expanded article posted. Thanks. — Becksguy 03:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I see Philippe has already removed the tag. Good. — Becksguy 03:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I added some meat, but I'm too tied to really copy edit it properly, or to do anything more with it for now. I didn't do a good job on this. — Becksguy 04:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Becksguy. Like I mentioned in my edit notes, the reason I started this was because this had recently occurred in my own extended family. And like I've told others about it, "I learned a new word that I really didn't want to learn." Your expert expansion is deeply appreciated. J.A.McCoy 02:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
