FORT WORTH, Texas -- Investigators on Tuesday said a Fort Worth-area woman likely hanged her four young daughters in a closet of the family’s mobile home before hanging herself.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said three of the children -- ages 5, 3 and 2—and their 23-year-old mother, were found dead at the Oak Hills mobile home park in Hudson Oaks.

Watch the motherhood critics come out of the closet now, especially these women that insist staying home with your children is a waste of your life. They’ll blame this on male pressure to raise children, or they’ll simply blame it on the children themselves.

Sad.

Stories of this nature never fail to make me feel like they slipped through my fingers. I almost feel responsible...if I had just known I could have stepped in and done something.

Was this better than drowning them?

Either one seems pretty dramatic. And irreversible, once undertaken.

Guess it pays to choose who your parents are. Like anybody ever got a choice in THAT.

Not that there is a GOOD way to be murdered, but unless you really know what you are doing, death by hanging is slow and awful.

“Where was the dad?”

Perhaps fleeing the scene?

They are no more common now than they ever were, the only thing that has changed is that modern instant mass communication allows you to be notified of every single one of them minutes after they happen.
