"Given her history, would you leave your kids alone with her?"


Of course I would not leave my children with a five time child murderer. That is why I wish Andrea Yates were dead already.

I know you meant before the murders. She once pulled a knife on Russell Yates and tried to kill him. He was able to over power her and send her to the nut house. Now if the positions had been reverse, we would say that Andrea Yates was insane for not sending Russell to jail for attempted murder. If Andrea Yates had gone to jail for attempted murder in the first place, I would have been spared this case.I think Andrea Yates wanted to murder Russell ,but settled for murdering his children. It is disturbing to me that people are willing to let Andrea Yates go for a crime which no man would ever get away with.Some people clearly have a low opinion of women. This case plays into the worst stereotypes of the Victorians.

I haven't read any post on this thread that advocates letting her go. I'm not even sure a guy would go to jail for pulling a knife on his wife. Probably get sent to therapy, etc.
