Texas mother hangs herself, 3 children

HUDSON OAKS, Texas - A young mother who may have been depressed apparently hanged three of her small daughters and herself in a closet using pieces of clothing and sashes, authorities said Tuesday. A fourth child, an 8-month-old daughter, was also found dangling in the closet but was rescued by her aunt from the family’s mobile home.

Lucky for the youngest to be too light to be hanged. Too bad mom was fucked in the head. This is inexplainable. Very sad.

On nights like this
when the world's a bit amiss
and the lights go down
across the trailer park
I get down
I feel had
I feel on the verge of going mad
and then it's time to punch the clock

The children were going to grow up to be anit-war and democrats. The mother had no choice but to kill them all. Praise to Jesus and George W Bush, his messenger on Earth! Praise be to Holy Bush!!!!

mom's obviously losing it, but hubby won't take her to a fucking shrink because
a. no health insurance.
b. if she prayed harder, jesus would fix it.
c. a shrink will convince her to divorce him.
repeat ad nauseum. god bless america.

So maybe women shouldn't start having a brood when they're only 20. I'm thinking having a baby when you're still a baby is a bad idea; having four? Worse still.

How will Dan ever know when he's made his point?

Because, you know, maybe he's just being too subtle.

Damn, people sure are awesome, aren't they?

And religion is great, too.

Yeah.

If you listen to the news clip attached to the story you will discover that the woman has a restraining order against the husband for abuse and that the woman had no money and had been denied aid. I think she was beaten down, depressed and hopeless.

Where are those anti-choice protestors when this woman needed them? Protesting the NARAL breakfast at the Sheraton, that's where. And definitely not supporting programs or taxes that actually help poor woman like this.

It also highlighted numerous other Texas mom's who have killed their children in recent years.
