She can share a cell with Susan Smith (who should have been executed, then maybe this kind of behavior would stop).

One of the local TV stations is reporting that the 2 year old showed defensive wounds. Can you even imagine a 2 year old baby fighting off his mother as she’s trying to smother him? Lord, please hold those little boys close.

"The mom has been basically a good mom," the sheriff said.

"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.

"..she pressed her bare hands over her children's faces, two little boys, and smothered them.

She had recently argued with her mother over parenting,.. [her mother pressured] her to be a more "reliable" mother, said Williams.

She looked them right in the face...and killed them with her bare hands.

I’m sure that my mother felt financially desperate and overwhelmed more than once, while raising me as a divorced parent. And yet, here I still am!

It’s probably also the fault of privileged white people as well. /s

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

Many states, including South Carolina, have enacted laws establishing "safe havens".

Does not compute. Why is this woman still alive?

The woman who said she smothered her two little boys "has been ... a good mom,"

And the woman on that plane in Albuquerque who slapped her child once and the police all over her and her husband like white on rice.

This world has one perverted opinion of what *good* and *bad* parents are.

I also heard them on the news whining about how *financial* pressures were an issue. Now they're going to blame it on that and push for an increase in welfare.

"...Shaquan Duley was financially desperate and overwhelmed..."

"Where is the father in all this?"

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.

While there are hereditary factors (i.e. Manute Bol didn't have the same genetic makeup as Oprah), people too often quote "junk science" about metabolism and other processes as an excuse for obesity.

The Faulty Metabolism Myth

The Metabolism Myth There's no biologic reason to get fatter as you grow older

Moreover, the cases where hormone disorders are the cause of obesity is rare. There are some cases where hormones those related to the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary glands, etc are the cause of obesity, but not very often compared to the number of obese Americans.

The #1 Cause of Obesity is Overeating, and overeating the wrong foods.

Period.

Excellent summary. Unfortunately, the nation is about to find out just how limp-wristed South Carolina Murder Law has become.

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.

The sheriff's job is to enforce the law -- nothing more, nothing less. Preparing the opening statement for defense at trial is NOT in his job description. Whatever his personal opinions are, he is still the chief law enforcement officer and his statements should be based on law and fact. If this trial stays in Orangeburg County, the woman will probably get only a Mr. Yuck sticker and a hankie.
