psychotic break. heartbreaking.

I forgot the most important part in my previous post.

Big prayers said.. For the father and surviving child.

They will need a large amount of The Lord's help to get through this ordeal.

As always, the eyes are the window to the soul...

"...theologizing and judgmentalism..."

When I hear about these things, when I emerge from my morning shower to find my six year old, in front of the small television in my bedroom, watching this story being discussed on the "Today" show, I get to feeling MIGHTY judgemental.

Lots of questions to answer, some measure of innocence lost, forever, because I made the mistake of leaving my child alone in front of the usually inoccuous morning chit-chat show.

Bludgeoned? With rocks? Sweet Mary Mother of God, what's to friggin' discuss? How many times must we be burdened with these stories and see the looks on the young faces of our kids when they get assaulted with news of this evil when I'm expecting Al Roker to be doing the damn weather?

Send her to her Maker, perhaps He can forgive her. I can't. And won't.

What the hell?!

As with Andrea Yates, this woman was on medication for her depression, as well.

If you do Google research on these types of meds, you will see that well over half get worse from the medication, and arbitrarily stopping the medication causes serious psychotic episodes.

Makes one wonder.

Beyond horrific. Law of sowing and reaping comes to mind, just like with Karla Faye Tucker.

Actions lead to consequences. We can be forgiven, but not spared the natural consequences of our actions.

May the Lord give comfort to the family and friends.

hey said they have had no indication that Ms. Laney was on any medication or had a history of psychiatric problems.

Right now, there is now way of knowing what her incomprehensible motivation was to murder her 8 and 6 year-old sons and greatly injure the toddler. From reports of the 911 call, she sounds absolutely loony.

I notice they are looking at tapes of the pastors' sermons, but from what was quoted, it wasn't anything more than you read in the newspapers, internet, "Left Behind Books", or any number of other sources. She murdered two of her sons suddenly, and we don't know what started it.

"overcome by some force we cannot fully identify,

I think we can fully identify the force behind mothers murdering their babies, either in or out of the womb, the force is satan.

[Bigg Red]

It is horrible indeed. But I am really puzzled as to
1) How could she kill both the 6- and the 8-year-old in this manner without having one or the other run away? Surely she could not have killed both of them simultaneously.
2) How could her husband sleep through this? Wouldn't there be screaming?

Re-read the article. My church preaches faith and hope, not Armageddon and impending doom.

When I was a kid, I used to be amused at all the hand-lettered signs throughout the South saying "The End is Near". They were as common as Burma Shave signs.

I'm not amused any more. Churches who frighten fragile personalities into believing death is right around the corner for them and their families are doing no one a service.

I don't have any kind words for this Souless bitch of a woman who would murder her own children, I hope she fries!

[Gunrunner2]

So, when are the usual suspects going to start blaming the father.

It's always the man's fault.

[frodolives]

I'm simply overwhelmed at the christian compassion that is expressed here. Sigh. So typical.

Face it, like Yates, here is an over religious, overcontrolling (the 8 year old can't play in his own neighborhood?), psychotic woman left in charge of helpless children. and Daddy SLEPT through this? Sure. Lock 'em both up. Medicate her and slap some sense into him.

[kuma]

She could have been planning this for a long time. I can understand why the family's church would stand behind the victims (father & sons) but they should be telling the murderer to repent.

You cannot have the seal of the Spirit and be a murderer at the same time. Murderers and a long list of others "...such as these do not belong to Christ"

[Rainmist]

I am a mother of two, and actually taking your child's life is a line a majority of us would never cross. People who cross this line have got to be psychotic. They have to be. How could you be sane and do something like this ??? There's no way.

"I'm sure there will be people who will resist the death penalty because it was a moment of insanity, so the death penalty will be cruel to people who kill their innocent children," Mr. Bell said of the case reported in The Post. "You explain that logic to me."

Amazing how quickly someone can say the above and then turn around and ask for prayer & forgiveness. The children killed and the child wounded are STILL innocent. THAT is cruel.
