Nope, this is Florida. She _planned_ the double murder of the dad and his girlfriend at the parking lot rendezvous, drove to execute her plan with the 5 kids in the car, then tried to escape with the 5 kids in the car and ended up in a 100mph police pursuit. Couldn’t find a babysitter I guess. ---

> [@Riemann](#): > > The only small mercy is that I mis-read it the first time. The deceased sister with a 10-month-old baby was not a 14-year-old. No, she was 23 years old, and had a six-year-old son. So she was about 17 when she had him. I get the feeling none of the children in that family have/had much hope of breaking out of lives where a 14-year-old carries a gun. ---

I’ve called her that most of my adult life. Not to her face; I had better survival instincts. She did love me and want the best for me. As long as she decided what was best and I always did what she wanted. You’d think that my mommy issues would be resolved at the age of 64, but you would be wrong. 😉 ---

True. I did not and do not treat them that way. They have their issues obviously, but by and large they are decent enough people. Amusingly, when I leave a message for my younger son on his phone, I always say, “This is your momster. Call me back.” I feel bad for these families and their kids. This is going to be some multi generational trauma. ---
