Yates to Leave Prison for Mental Hospital
RUSK, Texas - Andrea Yates, the Houston mother who drowned her five children in the family's bathtub, will soon move from an East Texas prison to a state mental hospital as she awaits a new capital murder trial.



It's nice to know that if you murder your children, you can be comforted at a mental hospital. Nothing like drowning a bunch of little kids- and not getting put to death by the state.
I watch Law and Order daily, but I can tell you this halfcocked excuse to give this woman a new trial has little to do with the show. They've killed enough TV kids at the hands of family members that almost any show could easliy be said to resemble the case. Shame on the state for letting her live longer than the children she killed.

Do you really believe that nobody could be literally insane enough to do something awful?

In this case you are wrong. Andrea Yates was in severe need of mental treatment and her medicine, and was not receiving those. She was extremely disturbed. She deserves the mental hospital and in my opinion is not a cruel murderer like so many others.

This woman should be sterilized and spend the rest of her life behind the prison gate.
She murdered her own children, the very ones that turned to her for love and protection, if that is not cruel- then I can't imagine what is.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
