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

[KansasGirl]

[Financially overwelmed and desperate]

What? She’s wasn’t feeling the hope and change?

[grellis]

She sat face to face and watched them die.

Which means the last thing those poor children saw was...

I hope the good sheriff thinks about that.

[bellringer]

Was it Mark Twain that told the tale of the guy who killed both his parents, and then plead for mercy from the court because he was an orphan? When I read the story of the ‘Mom Overwhelmed’ that’s what I came to mind. We’re in an upside down world—as a Christian, I can’t understand
God’s reasons for such things happening on earth, but what comes to mind is Evil has a face. I pray for those children, and that God has mercy on the soul of that ‘overwhelmed mother’.

That is how the left works, blame everyone else but the one responsible. Oh poor woman, she was unemployed, she didn’t have any money so she suffocated her kids..she sure wasn’t starving now was she. That “mother” deserves to be given the death penalty for what she did, but of course liberals will go with the sob story BS..I won’t shed a tear for this pathetic excuse for a human being, she deserves to fry. My sympathy is for those poor children who were brutally murdered by this woman who they loved so much.

Or “fathers” — both the deceased, 18 month old Ja’van T. Duley and 2 year old Devean C. Duley, had her last name so there’s a question if they had the some father.

[Terry Mross]

As I said on another post the Sheriff said they had held her for “non-believeability”. Is there such a thing? Or does this fall under the same category as “truthatude” and “falsity”.

[bigheadfred]

"Overwhelmed", and Overfed.

Sky had me grinning.

Where is the father in all this?

You got me laughing.

[Anvilhead]

LOL! I know it's horrible but that made me laugh.

[240B]

This is exactly why there should be child drop-off facilities.

[sionnsar]

"Overwhelmed", and Overfed.

Not fair. There are multiple reasons for packing on the pounds in an environment of "sufficient food" and for some of those reasons (including medical) it takes a major effort to keep it off.

And that's before you get into genetics...

[Tamar1973]

Well if her unemployment status has overwhelmed her, let her rot in jail for the rest of her life. She’ll get 3 square meals/day and never have to pay a bill or worry about anyone other than her sorry self ever again.

[Pigsley]

I’d like to know more about this sheriff.

Not to make everything about me...but, you read this horrible stuff and do invest your feelings. I feel bad about killing a fly that has bugged me a bit, for a few hours. A FLY.

How do you kill a baby? YOUR baby?

This woman was not a good mother from day one. Makes me sick. The kids are in a better place now.

Oh, and I guess the Sheriff had a reason for saying what he did. Wonder what that was?

[FES0844]

Yeah, she wasn’t so “overwhelmed” that she forgot to feed herself.

[sionnsar]

Not just killed them, covered their mouth with her hand and suffocated them. She sat face to face and watched them die.

I can neither imagine nor sympathize with this. Lock her up.

[4yearlurker]

I am the youngest of 4 brothers. Toward the end of her life my mother was in a wheelchair. (early 1960s) I remember her washing the laundry with a wringer washer and hanging the wet clothes on a clothes line by pulling herself out of the wheelchair by grabbing the clothesline,pinning the garment on the line then plopping back in the chair. All the while yelling at us to be quiet because she had a cake in the oven. OVERWHELMED??!!

[driftdiver]

The sheriff might be trying to deal with it himself.

[worrywart]

She's overwhelmed and unemployed so she checks into a hotel (where'd the money for that come from!), kills her boys and then pushes her car (guess she didn't need that!) into the river.

The sheriff's statements get even more ridiculous the further into the article you read:

Williams described Duley as financially desperate, overwhelmed, a "young lady in trouble, in trouble in more ways than she realized."

"She was a mother that was unemployed," said Williams. "She had no way of taking care of her children."

"We believe that her thoughts were for me to be free and to do what I wish to do, whatever that may be, if I didn't have the children, I will get rid of them," he said.

People like her usually don’t vote. If she’s literate I’d be surprised.

It's Orangeburg, SC. The heart of Jim Clyburn's 6th congressional district. She probably voted three times and earned $10 and a carton of smokes.

[DCPatriot]

She looks like she fell out of [a] tree.

And snapped every branch on the way down.

Like a knife thru buttah!

[angcat]

LOL hard to believe someone impregnated the mutt.
