HUDSON OAKS, Texas — The bodies of a mother and three children were found hanging in a mobile home just outside Weatherford early Tuesday morning.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said a neighbor who went to check on the family discovered the bodies at about 6:30 a.m. An 8-month-old was also found hanging and transported to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, where she was listed in good condition, he said.

Parker county is the county west of Tarrant county which is Ft Worth. I believe the county seat is Weatherford...
There was a case in NYC where a construction worker killed a woman and hanged her to make it look like suicide. And a case in Maryland where a disgruntled ex-boyfriend hanged three little children. Both killers were Central American immigrants for what it’s worth.

That sounds a little more acceptable, but this is nothing short of a brutal mass murder of those not able to protect themselves.
It was an illegal alien that murdered Adrianne Shelley, the actor/director. Very sad, as she had a young daughter.
I just heard this on the radio. Prayers for the little 8 month old and whats left of her family.
I would never describe the intentional vicious murder of children as tragic. Being a victim of a hurricane could be described as tragic.
The violent, intentional murder of small children is nothing less than vicious, evil violence of those not able to protect themselves.
So sad! RIP
A tragedy is when a young mother or a child gets cancer and dies. A tragedy is when people lose their lives in an accident, or by an Act of God.
WOW! Well I hope the cops get to the bottom of what happend here and if anyone else is involved they get justice served to them. Texas has the death penalty and we do use it often.
Oh, I agree. As a mother to a 9 and 5 year old boys I understand that anyone who harms a child is evil and vicious!
It’s days like these where I really appreciate what a great mom my ex-wife is.
yes, it always helps to make sure the person you have children with is a good and decent human being. I am thankful as well that the father of my children have their best interest at heart.
Just pitiful, brutal and awful. . .the way people meet untimely death. . .can only guess, drugs perhaps involved here. Or desperate degrangement. . .
Well, it wasn’t a neighbor, it was her sister, and she didn’t show for work and that is why she went over there. But the fact she went over there and went into the house to look around says to me as well that something wasn’t right.
Here is the situation. You have a 23 year old mother with 4 preschool children living in a trailer, with the father gone. If it was a murder suicide I’m guessing she felt desperate and needed help. If she had known there is help to be had she wouldn’t have done this crime. Heck, my church alone helps pay single mother’s bills all the time and I’m sure many churches do the same. Of course this is if she was the murderer of her own children.

When I first heard of this I was shocked and I must agree that you description of The violent, intentional murder of those not able to protect themselves as being vicious and evil is much more apt and correct!
Where's the father?
they found the father, but so far he is not a suspect. Sounds like he is a real loser!
OMG!! The sister will NEVER be the same after seeing this!! Prayers for her and the kids.
