Then don’t read it, and stop coming back to the damned thread! What did you think was going to happen, someone was going to post “April Fools!”?
Show some fucking self-control.
He’s talking about the subject line, which is visible from the main page of the Pit. He doesn’t have to open the thread to see it.
Yeah, so? Still doesn’t have to read it. He knows what it says.
And, again, why come into the thread?
I have to read the title in the BBQ Pit, so that’s not exactly a solution shit for brains.
Because by that point I’ve already read it and the point is moot dumbass.
It’s funny that if offends you the way I express that this is truly awful. Maybe you’re here because it tittilates you. :rolleyes:
Andrea Yates was living in Texas when she killed her children. Are there more?
Seriously. I can’t help but be glad that this kid didn’t have to grow up with that for a mother.
At least she’s not unreasonable, i mean, it’s not like she ate his eyes… 
Very uncool, given the subject matter. The mother was crazy, but not that crazy.
20 lashes for you.
What the hell is wrong with you? It is obvious that the title would be disturbing to anyone. Leave him alone and fuck off.
STOP IT! I think I might have just woke somebody up… 
From the article:
So that’s three in nine years (though the word “several” suggests there may be more). The cases do seem similar, but given the time span and the fact that Texas is, I’m given to understand, a largish state, I wouldn’t be inclined to speculate about any kind of trend.
I bet she will get life in prison rather than being in a mental instution.
What a horror.
Are you serious Shirley? Would a US court commit someone with such an obviously horrible illness to a prison sentence rather than the custody of a secure psychiatric institution? Please tell me it wouldn’t be so! 
This may sound a bit odd, but my stomach turns and my sympathies are for the 5 and 7 year old that were present in the house when this occurred. That poor baby is beyond my help or caring (not that it doesn’t make me sick to think about him), but truly, how in hell did this occur with those little people there? I remember well how curious my kids were at that age–they would just walk into rooms (except the bathroom) etc.
How does one counsel a child after they witness something like this?
I really want to vomit after reading that article.
She is serious. And stop calling her…oh, nevermind.
What a horrible story, though. I just can’t imagine someone doing something like this. This makes me think of the story about the lady that microwaved her baby. I can’t fathom what gets into people’s heads that would cause them to harm a completely innocent baby.
Andrea Yates is now in a mental facility. This I did not know.
Those were my thoughts exactly. That kind of damage…shit…I don’t know if anyone can come back to Earth after witnessing something like that.
I’m pretty sure The Crazy got into her head. This goes far beyond what a Really Bad Parent Who Shouldn’t Have Kids does. This is beyond the outer limits of Garden Variety post-partum depression.
The other two mothers mentioned in the article- Andrea Yates and the woman who chopped her infant’s arms off- are both in long-term psychiatric care. Presumably this woman soon will be too.
Yates received a new trial when the appeals court determined that the prosecution’s expert witness Park Dietz lied on the stand that Yates had based her crime on an L&O episode. At the time of her crime, no such episode existed. She was found NGRI during her second trial.
It’s difficult to determine whether the woman in the OP will possibly receive life in a mental facility rather than life in prison. The insanity defense is tricky. Most jurors don’t understand that a person found NGRI doesn’t just walk free out the courthouse front door, and most jurors think NGRI means “the accused didn’t do it.” (cite: many readings I’ve done over the years of jurors on NGRI juries).
