Family in suspected murder-suicide never received social services

The woman who burned her family alive in an apartment fire on Jerusalem’s Hebron Road never received social services from the municipality, Jerusalem City Hall says in a statement.

Three months ago, the mother called her neighborhood social services for information about getting a babysitter, the city says. The mother was told that social services doesn’t provide a babysitter, but invited her to drop by to learn about other services she could receive if needed. She didn’t call back.
