Every Child Deserves a Mother and a Father…

posted by on January 11 at 11:01 AM

A Southeast Washington woman accused of killing her four daughters told police that they were “possessed by demons” and that they had been dead for at least four months before marshals found their bodies, according to police and charging papers filed yesterday.

Authorities said they believe the girls, ages 5, 6, 11 and 17, could have been killed as early as May, noting that the bodies were in an advanced stage of decomposition when discovered Wednesday by marshals serving eviction papers at the two-story brick rowhouse.

UPDATE: Well, not really an update. Another:

A Winter Haven man was charged with murder, accused of fatally beating his 4-month-old daughter Christmas Day because he wanted a son, authorities said. Marcos Gomez-Romero, 28, told investigators that he beat Ariana Rodriguez Romero to death because he wanted a son instead of a daughter, according to a Polk County Sheriff’s Office report.

According to deputy interviews, Gomez-Romero said he became angry every time he saw the girl. He also said that abusing his daughter became a habit, a sheriff’s report showed.

So Dan, you're at porn convention in Vegas, partying with the porno elite, and all we get is a lame ECDMF entry?

Put down the bong and post us some pics!

Yikes!... I read Southeast Washington, and I thought this was closer to home... Imagine my relief when I clicked through and found it was Southeast Washington DC... (It’s reassuring that if these things happen, they happen in some inner-city ghetto, and not bucolic rural Washington State! Ghetto dwellers are so odd.)

If it was someplace like Anatone or Pomeroy, I would not have been at all surprised.

Yep, you really have to watch out for those damned demons - they really get into everything.

Gotta agree with Providence.

How about a ECDAMILF topic?

Banita Jacks, Marcos Gomez-Romero… I see a trend here… No wonder minorities are minorities… they keep killing their spawn…

Just yesterday I delivered a little girl whose father had abandoned her mother because the baby failed to be a boy.
She's a bolivian inmigrant in my country, she's 41, already has six kids of her own and she wanted to give her new husband a child (putting her life at risk at it) As soon as the proud new father found out by ultrasound that it was a girl, not a boy, he returned to bolivia and left her alone with seven children now. The woman was telling me, as I checked on her, that in some rural areas in her country you have to be able to deliver boys before your man commits to you.
I suggested she turns to exclusive lesbianism for now on.

I MUST NOT UNDERSTAND--THE FOUR GIRLS DIDN'T HAVE A FATHER (OTHER THAN IN THE WAY ALL KIDS HAVE A FATHER). MAYBE IF THEY HAD A MOTHER AND A FATHER THEY'D STILL BE ALIVE. AND EVERY KID DOES DESERVE TO BE ALIVE.

My personal belief is that Every Child Deserves Non-Homocidal Parental Units.

Or leastways, Most Children.

You Gotta Be Kidding Me is a fucking douchebag racist. Shit like this happens in rural places, suburban places, and urban places. I lived in Oly for 10 years and worked with the fucked up and abused children of rural and suburban white people all the time. I now live in DC and work just up the road from where this tragedy occurred. Mental illness cuts across ethnicity, class and location. Why don't you marry my white, douchebag, alcoholic, inherited a gold mine, meth head, doesn't take any care of my niece, sister-in-law who lives across the river in McLane, VA with the Mary Cheney's of the world. It's a very elite location, and I'm sure nothing heinous ever occurs there, because according to you Every Child Deserves a White, Suburban Mother & a Father. Fuck you douchebag.

I'm getting really sick of news agencies thinking that when people see "Washington," they assume "DC." Because a whole state matters less than a single city, evidently. Don't attempt to be precise or anything.

Gotta go with Dan/10 there. This strikes me as more of a "They Will Know we are Christians..." by our primitive, superstitious excuses for killing our children.
