The woman who said she smothered her two little boys "has been ... a good mom," Sheriff Larry Williams said. But Shaquan Duley was financially desperate and overwhelmed, he said

Excuse me if I don't produce a hanky and begin crying. Life is freakin' tough, particularly for a single parent so suck it up.
What it boils down to is the children were in her way and kept her from having a good time and making more babies.
Sickening. She needs to have her female organs removed period. Or the death penalty but we know her story(ies) will invoke the 'not guilty by reason of insanity' or 'guilty of manslaughter' or some other bs charge.
You should think about being “overwhelmed” before you have two kids you can’t afford....geez.
Well then, I guess she should be free to go.
Live and learn.
You have to break a few eggs...

How about, “Don’t murder your own kids!”
Not just killed them, covered their mouth with her hand and suffocated them. She sat face to face and watched them die.
Maybe someone hung a noose in her bathroom?
Then, she could have shot 9 white men too, and the media would have lauded her.
Some of these people should live on a street in Calcutta India for about one week, then they would quit complaining about their lot in America (divorce, food stamps, job loss, single motherhood, friction with the in-laws, temporary economic downturn). Even living in a car is much more desirable, and is a palace compared to a gutter in a "bustee" (registered slum), in Calcutta, India. Many Calcuttans would give their left leg just to spend a few nights in the car that this woman used to drown her kids.
I imagine we will now hear all the usual responsibility-escaping excuses and handwringing.
She’s probably Al Green’s campaign manager.

Change.
If ya ain’t got the ring, don’t do that thing!
Yep, there are many government programs that would take your children if you don’t want them or feel you are unable to care for them ... no need to kill them. Put them in the system and if/when you get your act together chances are you can get them back.
Now she has a greater burden ... life in prison or death by the state.
Before the day is out, I believe an enterprising FReeper will have checked the voter registration.....
Where is the father in all this?
This is really bad "optics".
Other than that how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
Are you talking about that mother? People like her usually don’t vote. If she’s literate I’d be surprised.
was financially desperate and overwhelmed, he said...
And that’s a reason for a mother to cold-bloodedly murder her two children?? Excuse me for not showing empathy. She is 29 years old with three children and probably on government programs to help her “financially desperate” situation. She is an evil person. Period.
Hang her high then give her this epitaph:
SHE WAS OVERWHELMED SO MURDERED HER TWO HELPLESS CHILDREN
Mom felt selfish.
