One can only hope there is a special place in heaven for the kids, and a special place in hell for the parent/abuser.

One of my favorite set of verses in the Bible is from the Gospel of John, Chapter 14, beginning in v. 1:
[red][b]Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.[/b][/red]

The setting is, of course, the Last Supper in the upper room at Jerusalem during the Passover.
Here was the 'rabbi of rabbis' speaking to men who were well-acquainted with Jewish hopes and beliefs concerning the afterlife that awaited the righteous dead, and comforting them with the
promise that 'if it were not so, I would have told you.' In other words, if the next world was to be something less than what these men may have imagined, who else but Christ would have had the simple honesty to tell them other
that what they wanted to hear.
If that sort of simple honesty appeals to your soul, then you [b]know[/b] that these five children - Noah, John, Paul, Luke, and their little sister, Mary, are in Paradise this very Evening with their heavenly Father. [red][b]Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.[/b][/red]
On the other side, I cannot conceive that the Mother who did this to her own children was in her right mind.
It does not appear that there was a motive in this mayhem, no boyfriend, no insurance payoff,
no denials like Susan Smith and Darlie Routier, just a simple announcement to the police that 'I've drowned my children.'
[red][b]But whoso offends one of these little ones who believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.[/b][/red]Matthew, XVIII,v.6.
