KickChick Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Since many of you members are from other countries you may not be aware of this news item that involves a Texas mother who was found guilty today of drowning her 5 (6 mos-7 yrs. old) children in a bath tub. Some are opposed of the "harsh" sentence she received because many feel she was in the throes of a psychotic breakdown and that she didn't know right from wrong! She could be sentenced to death. The penalty phase begins March 14. An array of evidence was presented to show that despite her delusional behavior she knew killing the kids was wrong. She did it she says because they were not righteous and if they were allowed to grow up, would have been doomed for hell. She suffered no remorse afterwards. If they vote to spare her life she will receive life in prison with parole eligibility after 40 years.
Bon Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Deserves everything she gets then. It takes sacrifice to be the best.There are always two choices, two paths to take. One is easy. And its only reward is that it's easy.
Shaolin Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 She and anyone else who does something like that is deranged. The real question is: What do you do with the deranged? Kill em? Fix em? Lock em up forever? One day society will likely find a way to fix these people until then the public will probably seek revenge. Jim Moy Yat Ving Tsun Rest in peace: Moy Yat Sifu
YODA Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 Sounds like this lady needs help. Can't say much more without knowing more - is there a website with more info? Revenge should never be an issue in dishing out "punishment" - Is she a threat to society? If so she should be removed from that society until she is no longer a threat. If evidence proves beyond reasonable doubt that she knew what she was doing & was able to choose & know right from wrong she should die - but not out of revenge, out of protection for our society.

Shaolin Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 It should be noted in this case that Andrea's doctor(s), husband and other people knew she was 'unstable' or nuts and yet left her in the care of all the children. There were also previous serious incidents and major warning signs, that all of the above ignored, even before she became pregnant with had her last child. It seems to me that these other individuals should be held somewhat responsible for this as well. _________________ Moy Yat Ving Tsun Rest in peace dear teacher, dear friend, dear brother, and dear father: Moy Yat Sifu [ This Message was edited by: Shaolin on 2002-03-14 01:02 ] Moy Yat Ving Tsun Rest in peace: Moy Yat Sifu
SuperMinh Posted March 14, 2002 Posted March 14, 2002 How can someone possibly kill his/her children ? On the top of my head, if you asked me who i feel most secure and protected with, who i can trust without any doubt, i'd say my mother. That story makes me sick

Sickning story and she should be punished but I agree the blame should be shared. _________________ Moy Yat Ving Tsun Rest in peace dear teacher, dear friend, dear brother, and dear father: Moy Yat Sifu [ This Message was edited by: Shaolin on 2002-03-14 01:02 ]
