Shocking

I recently read one of the most disturbing articles I have ever came across.  There’s a link to the page, http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/29/florida.children.killed/index.html?npt=NP1.   I was looking over cnn and saw the heading Police: Mom killed teens for being “Mouthy”.  I was a little shocked so I decided to read some more of it.  It’s about a mom who shot her thirteen year old son and sixteen year old daughter.  She shot her son on the way to soccer practice and her daughter while she was studying.  She told police that they talked back and were mouthy.  That was the mothers excuse for taking the lives of her two children.  Thinking that saying it could justify her actions.  When I first read this article I was in complete shock of what had happened.   I just don’t understand how a mom could do this to her own kids, let alone even let the idea cross her mind. 

Another article I read kinda branching off this one was about a mother who gave her son a mixture of olive oil and vinegar because she said he was possessed and that she didn’t like his temper tantrums.  The child was three years old when she did this and she just recently got caught after almost a year. 

These two mothers are crazy for what they did to their kids and I can’t believe anyone would do anything like this.  It just makes no sense how things like this happen.  Neither of the mothers could have been mentally stable to kill their own child.  But I guess this is a messed up world and things like this happen but at least and most importantly these people get caught and pay for the things they did. Although this will never bring back the life they took for their own reasons which may never make sense to anyone.
