God bless this family. Those poor children. The whole thing runs chills down my spine.

"Yates family"

The MO doesn't fit for the way the bodies were found. You might recall how the Yates kids were found as in other similar cases.

The Medical Examiner should be able to determine the evidence.

They DON’T???!!!

Is this mother of Spanish ancestry? Looks like from the television snippets this is a Hispanic area. Weatherford was a cowboy area thirty years ago when I was there.

Where was the dad?

These days, it's more reasonable to ask "Where were the dads?"

[Silly]

What a terribly sad event. Prayers go out for the survivors, and for all the relatives and friends. I’m sure they will be heartbroken for a lifetime. I pray for God’s comfort during this time.

>> What in hell is wrong with mothers in TEXAS?........

Ain’t a bit of telling. May be the same thing as what’s wrong with Florida a$$holes.

[Red Badger]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Texas and would move there in a minute, but even before I read the article, I just knew this was in Texas. I have relatives there and all that, but it just seems that three (that I know of) Texas mothers murdering their children is a bit too much for a coincidence..............

there's a lot more than just Texas women killing their kids.

It just seems that way with the news reporting. I've met some kids that need killing, but that's just my opinion of the little gang banging thugs.... and the mothers never seem to get around to doing it.

[WasDougsLamb]

Very tragic and upsetting.....So sad.

[Kay]

Yes. The very first family. Cane killed Abel. 25% of population killed in one swell foop.

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.

We would have lost WW 2 with this current mass media frenzy.

As someone living in Texas, I have been asking myself that smae question.

Geography seems to be about the only thing Texas has in common with the Lone Star state that I grew up in.

Bill OReilly just had segment on this. Apparently, she was a Mexican National, legal or illegal was not specified. According to BOR the story goes that she was denied Welfare.
