Harbison said she is glad authorities solved the crime and hope they plan to punish her daughter "to the fullest extent of the law."

After all, she said, a harsh punishment is what she would have wanted for someone else's child who committed such a crime.

"This crime was done out of ignorance and selfishness," she said.

I like this lady!!! I wish more parents thought that way...

Thank God for this woman who is a responsible parent.

These kinds of hoaxes keep everyone at odds and the young women responsible should be ashamed using race like they did. There is enough true hatred going on in our world and we don't need these kinds of hateful, selfish false accusations being bantered about.

It's also another reason these kinds of things need to be looked into and investigated before assuming anything. The older I get the more I realize the wisdom in the line about "Things are not always what they seem."

I like that mother, too. That's called teaching your child that you must take responsibility for your actions.

[JudyB1938]

What a good mama. Unfortunately, although it appears that she tried really hard, I am sure she is wondering where she went wrong. SHE didn't. It's the JJ's of the world who are warping the minds of those kids.

[Pagey]

That's Right!

"One of the most unfortunate things about this is that there were couple hundred man hours spent on this case in order to determine it was just a hoax," Keller said.
I hope all " couple hundred " man hours is charged to the parents of all 5 girls too;surely this must be a possibility.

I am shocked!

A parent in modern America actually had the decency to admit her kids were at fault and not claim that they suffered from 'childhood anguish, perpetual day dreaming, hypnotic subliminal messages or other hogwash. And did not even try to petition for their innocence with statements like 'he/she is a nice kid because he/she helps me with my laundry and calls grandma once a week!'

Wow, a parent willing to take responsibility and hold her child accountable! What is the world coming to? Next we will be hearing of parents who have dinner with their kids!

Ai yi yi! The horror!
