Speaking of why moms do things to endanger their children...
I am sure that when the Andrea Yates thing happened, you were all talking about it, but I wasn't a member at that time! I saw on the news the other day that she had been starving herself & admitted into a hospital for it. Also, that her husband came to visit her & she was asking him why he never brought the kids to see her!!!???!?!?!? Her story still makes me want to cry whenever I hear it!
I think she should be in a psych ward, not prison.
She is in a psych ward. This happened within five miles from me house. It is a terribly sad story. She was put in prison, but in the mental ward, never with the general population, about 6 weeks ago Rusty had asked for a divorce so he could move on, on hearing this she started not eating. She has made several attempts on her own life, this latest has her hospitalized at a nearby facility. She has not been doing well, and as sad as it is for the children, I don't think she was with it then or now and the moments she is, she is living with the nightmare of what she did.
