I feel only for those poor kids who were brutalized by mom and betrayed by dad.

Thoughtful post.......how tragic to have to dwell on such an awful thing. I didn't know/read that Rusty Yates had been playing videogames in the hallway.....shocked here. And I cannot imagine ever doing what Andrea Yates did.....it's truly incredible. If I was a juror, my heart would break if I heard her son ask what he "did wrong" while his mother drowned him. It tears me up to think about what those poor kids felt and thought as they were killed by their own mother.

Those little ones were horrified beyond belief and their natural survival instincts, except for the infant, kicked in, but they were no match for that creature called mom. Since the 7 year old tried to escape from the house, I bet mom made sure the place was locked up tight too.

I just hope that mom doesn't harm anyone in prison in the next 40 years. If she was capable of killing her own, she is a danger to society, even a society of inmates and guards.
