By bringing up Susan Smith they are saying that it’s not only black women who commit these crimes????
I thought Obama was going to fix everything.
Lashanda, Lashaun, Landon, Lance,and Lainaina.
You can just see trouble coming.
unless killing yourself and your passengers is your intention, of course.
Prayers up for this boy. He's gonna need 'em.
Wait... how could she be 25 if her oldest son is 10? Don’t you have to be 16 to get married in New York?
I don’t envy her husband, having to try to comfort and raise this kid under such circumstances. Hopefully, his employer will give him some flex time.
25 year old mother with a 10 year old son, Started popping them out at 15 wow.
Lashanda Armstrong
The distraught driver was identified as Lashanda Armstrong, 25. The landlord at her building said Armstrong shared the apartment with her boyfriend, and had twice asked to get the locks changed in a six-month period - most recently in March.
"She said she didn't want him here," John Boubaris, 48, said. "That was the last person living with her, the boyfriend."
Neighbors identified the boyfriend as Jean Pierre, the father of the three dead children.
Official: Boy had 2 minutes to flee sinking van
NEWBURGH, N.Y. - A 10-year-old boy who clambered out the window of a minivan his mother drove into the fast-moving Hudson River Tuesday night probably had less than two minutes to escape, a fire official said. The boy’s mother and three of his siblings died.
Lashaun Armstrong was the only survivor after 25-year-old Lashanda Armstrong plunged the van into the river in this gritty city 60 miles north of New York City.
When the van hit the water at about 8 p.m., it was just past high tide and the Hudson was flowing swiftly to the south, pulling the van some 25 yards out into the rain- and melt-swollen river, fire chief Michael Vatter said. Vatter figured the van floated in the 45-degree water for no more than two minutes.
“He got out of the car, got up onto the boat ramp, turned around and it was gone,” Vatter said.
The boy’s great-aunt, Angela Gilliam, told The Associated Press that he was “doing good” Wednesday and “taking it all in.”
“He rolled the window down and got out,” Gilliam said.

Armstrong seemed stressed but not depressed when she picked up the children Tuesday at the Young and Unique Christian Development Child Care, said Shaniesha Strange, supervisor in the infant room.
“It just seemed like she was having a bad day,” Strange said. “I could see that something was kind of bothering her but she didn’t talk about it. She wasn’t one to talk about her business. The only thing she’d say was that she was so alone. She’s a single parent, she takes great care of her kids, goes to school, and works. She really needed a helping hand.”
Vatter said a passer-by saw Lashaun Armstrong come out of the river, picked up the soaking wet boy and took him to a nearby fire department. Vatter said the boy was so distraught that he had difficulty talking but ultimately told firefighters what happened. Rescuers went immediately to the river but it was too late to save the four victims.
