please, next time you want to take your live, take yours only, let the kids live you pig! Mother, 3 children found hanged in Texas But one child is discovered alive in mobile home west of Fort Worth Four found dead in mobile home May 29: A 23 year-old woman and three of her children have been found dead in a mobile home, 40 miles east of Fort Worth, Tx. KXAS's David Quinlan reports from the scene with the latest information. MSNBC Updated: 32 minutes ago HUDSON OAKS, Texas - A relative found the bodies of a 23-year-old woman and her four small daughters hanging in a closet in their mobile home Tuesday morning, all of them dead but an 8-month-old, who was taken to a hospital, the sheriff said. Authorities didn’t immediately release the identities of the victims in the Oak Hills mobile home park, about 25 miles west of Fort Worth. The woman’s sister, who lived nearby, had stopped at the home after the woman failed to show up for work, Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said. He said the sister rescued the infant when she realized the baby girl was still alive. KXAS reported that the dead woman worked at a Wendy's restaurant, and that her sister lived next door. The other children, ages 5, 3 and 2, had all had been hanged with strips of clothing and sashes, Fowler said. “It’s terrible, terrible,” he said. Infant OK The infant was taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth and was in good condition, Fowler said. Neighbors in the rural community of 1,600 were stunned. Less than five years earlier, another Hudson Oaks family was torn apart when Dee Etta Perez, 39, shot her three children, ages 4, 9 and 10, before killing herself. Fowler said the hangings Tuesday also appeared to be murder-suicide, but the investigation was still under way. NBC affiliate KXAS reported that no suicide note was found at the scene. The young mother and her girls were last seen alive Monday evening, he said. She was believed to be separated from her husband, who Fowler said has been notified of the deaths. “I just got a big kick out of watching the kids play over there on her porch, and today it’s sad, very sad,” said neighbor Joyce Harris. Texas repeats in grim category Texas has seen a disturbing number of child killings by mothers in recent years. Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family’s Houston bathtub in 2001. In 2003, Deanna Laney beat her two young sons to death with stones in East Texas, and Lisa Ann Diaz drowned her daughters in a Plano bathtub. Dena Schlosser fatally severed her 10-month-old daughter’s arms with a kitchen knife in 2004. All four of those women were found innocent by reason of insanity. Yates initially was convicted of capital murder, but it was overturned on appeal.
Well, that certainly tops the mother who scalded her daughter to death (allegedly). http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4842459.html Houston mom charged after burned tot dies By STEVE MCVICKER Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle An east Houston woman has been charged with committing serious bodily injury to a child after she took her severely burned 2-year-old daughter to a hospital, and the girl died there Monday, according to public records. Yokandra Lanett Midkiff, 24, was identified in Harris County court records today as the woman who told hospital officials that her daughter had fallen into a campfire on a beach. But the girl's burns appeared to have resulted from immersion in scalding water, said Estella Olguin, spokeswoman for Child Protective Services. The mother today changed her account of events surrounding the child's injuries, claiming that the child accidentally sat in scalding water Friday night while the mother was running a bath for the child, Olguin said in a statement today. CPS and Houston police continue investigating the death, Olguin said. No bond has been set today, according to court records. Midkiff remained in custody. Child welfare authorities placed Midkiff's other child, a 9-month-old boy, in the custody of an aunt pending further investigation. The girl was brought to Memorial Hermann Hospital by ambulance about 9 a.m. Monday and died about 2 p.m., Olguin said. She said the girl had second- and third-degree burns on her buttocks, genitals, legs and feet. The girl's name was being withheld pending notification of her father, who does not live with the mother and children, Olguin said. Midkiff, of 777 Coolwood Drive, first said the child fell into a campfire during a family barbecue on a beach but doctors said the burns appeared to have been inflicted by extremely hot water, Olguin said. The Harris County medical examiner's office will conduct an autopsy on the child's body today, Olguin said. CPS and Houston police are continuing an investigation of the child's death, she said. Midkiff told a CPS investigator that she was running a bath and that the child sat in the hot water and accidentally burned herself, Olguin said in a statement. When the child arrived at the hospital, doctors observed that some of her burns were old enough to have become infected, Olguin said. At that time, Midkiff could not say exactly when and where the injuries were inflicted. Shortly after she was born, the girl was taken into CPS custody because Midkiff had failed two drug tests, Olguin said. Authorities returned the baby to Midkiff's custody after the woman underwent drug treatment, Olguin said. Staff reporter Kevin Moran contributed to this article.
LOL, at this quote, not the story. I don't know what the purpose of these threads are other than to depress the hell out of us. There are sick twisted people in the world - we get it.
I don't know why I repeatedly read these kind of threads. I have a 4-yr old and a 2-yr old, and I can barely made it through either of these articles without bawling.
This is totally f'd up...It looks like the mom did do it, based on what I read at 4:40p.m.... why do all the crazy b*tches live in Texas...
