I personally feel that there is a special place in hell for people who hurt kids. And dogs.
I work in a small emergency room in southeastern KY, and I have seen several kids injured/abused, and a couple killed, because of post-partum depression. Now, I am not saying she did or didn't know what she was doing, or I believe any of the PC talk, or the psycho-babble. I think what she did was evil, it was wrong, she betrayed the biggest tabboo: she killed her children.
But, it happens. Daily. Maybe repeated exposure to it has kinda hardened me to bad shit like this, but when I heard about it, I thought, "Poor kids. What an evil bitch." On a positive, revenge kinda note, Texas ain't shy about their capital punishment, are they?
