High school dropout. Seven bastard children by four men. Welfare fraud. Child murderer.
So many sad facts here... 28, mother of 7... murderer... welfare fraud... living with boyfriend... makes you wonder what other facts the jury heard that aren't in the article like drugs or alcohol. I wonder what will happen to her poor kids.

Somewhere in America, a kollege professor will claim racism and white male hegemony were the cause of this mentally deranged walking humanoid factory.
Why do these scum allowed to remain alive?
I would have asked "If you didn't hurt that baby, what mistakes are you admitting to?"
"That baby" / "That woman" ...sounds rather Clintonesk doesn't it?
Aren't toddlers too young to have girlfriends?
No mention of her ever having cooked any of her 8 illegitimate children - only her boyfriend's kid. The good news is that she'll probably be 40 by the time she gets out, which will put a time limit on how many more litters she has.
Problems like that won't happen after our Republican congressmen help the Democrats to vote in favor of more funding for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). Letitia Johnson will learn that "males" in general forced her to do anything that she did wrong, and all will be fine.
[...little sarcasm and irony there.]
I doubt it.
I doubt it.
Yeah, I hold toddlers in scalding water by accident all the time.
Well WTF did the baby die from then?
If she didn't hurt this baby what mistakes is she admitting to? Barf
I've read of several cases of children being deliberately scalded.
Anton Chekhov wrote a short story called "In the Ravine" at least 100 years ago where your unthinkable was thinkable. I don't know where he got the idea for the story which can be read online here
One of the saddest stories I ever read; I had a terrible time remembering the title and finally found it, but not the date it was written. An exerpt:
"Give it here," said Aksinya, looking at her with hatred, and snatching the chemise out of the trough; "it is not your business to touch my linen! You are a convict's wife, and ought to know your place and who you are."
Lipa gazed at her, taken aback, and did not understand, but suddenly she caught the look Aksinya turned upon the child, and at once she understood and went numb all over.
"You've taken my land, so here you are!" Saying this Aksinya snatched up the ladle with the boiling water and flung it over Nikifor.
After this there was heard a scream such as had never been heard before in Ukleevo, and no one would have believed that a little weak creature like Lipa could scream like that. And it was suddenly silent in the yard.
Aksinya walked into the house with her old naive smile. . . . The deaf man kept moving about the yard with his arms full of linen, then he began hanging it up again, in silence, without haste. And until the cook came back from the river no one ventured to go into the kitchen and see what was there.

Nikifor was taken to the district hospital, and towards evening he died there. Lipa did not wait for them to come for her, but wrapped the dead baby in its little quilt and carried it home.
