[Alberta's Child]

See Post #51.

This story is going to get more bizarre as time goes on.

There are some reports that this incident has been labeled a homicide by the county prosecutor's office, which would be highly unusual since the alleged perpetrator is dead and there would be no criminal prosecution anyway.

I am wondering if there are one or more other adults in the picture who are being investigated for a possible role in this.

Do you think she had alochol in the car and drank while she was driving? Maybe she stopped at a bar and left the kids in the car. Four hours passed when the accident happened. It does not take that long from the Campground to the Taconic. Did she drink and smoke before she left?

Not only did her actions result in the death of the children but also the three men in the other auto.

That may be why there are homocide charges.

I'm a regular viewer of A&E's intervention. It is a real eye opener to see women who are addicted to Booze and/or pills and how they have been functioning like that for years. They drink from morning till they pass out at night. I truly believe it is an illness.

That said, there must have been "signs" this woman abused alcohol and someone KNEW she was driving DRUNK and let her take the kids anyway.

Or she wasn't quite high yet, and someone provided her with the booze and/or pills she took while driving.
