Her actions are beyond horrendous and that child didn’t deserve to die. But she obvs needed help. People just don’t kill their kids for the hell of it.
What the hell is happening in this world where mother's are strangling their babies??? This is so f'd up!!
Most cops drink a lot.
Additionally whatever problems physical & mental/emotional people have become worse the older they become
The husband had jealousy issues. (& may well have had flings/affairs over time). We expect from others what we ourselves do
Put together the above factors & the male family friend over for a meal. Much alcohol consumed in the process
Emotion then rules reason
Guns close at hand
Disaster results
The neighbor probably knew he was a cop and thought they would have come after them r something since a lot of people know they protect their own ,I watch true crime and I think that and have seen that so maybe they were afraid of him and the police .
Horrible.Look at the smirk and nasty little smile when staring at people in the photos. She is one sick puppy
That poor child. I also lost my son Liam in '08. There is evil in
the world. Jesus reminds us that although we live here, our
real home is heaven, and to heaven we will return if we repent
of all sins and come back to Christ. He is the ONLY way.
To think of that poor boy looking into the eyes of his own mother as she strangled him is totally horrific
I was blessed with a microcephaly child. She never developed beyond 9 months mentally. Physically a baby all her 19 years of life. I think of her daily. Yes it hard, yes it stressful….what a blessing. P.S. Father didn't want her…thank God I did!!
I like Josh, have him back more often, please.
Omg why Pple so wicked
I lived in San Jose, CA for 10 years, and now I've lived in that area of Texas for at least 5 years since! UGH! So much heartbreak!!
Maybe the mother was meeting some guy she met on social media and had told him she had no kids and felt she had to get rid of her autistic child.
That was a residential neighborhood. Shots in that area means something happened that’s not good. Call the police.
Yeah. The pig killing the wife is a horrendous situation as Ritter states. It's devastating.
And yet far more common a devastating situation is PARENTAL ALIENATION and NO ONE TALKS about THAT. And yet, it's a situation involving LIVING PEOPLE which could possibly be resolved and actually HEALED instead of all this hand wringing over dead people.
The daughter had maybe witnessed domestic violence by her father against her mother in the past, that's why she knew immediately that it was him. Just because people didn't know it was going on, doesn't mean it wasn't.
Wow this is horrible there's so much evil in the world rip little guy💔
Poor baby. May you rest peacefully baby Liam❤️
Sorry but that Texas shooting is not the neighbor’s fault so it’s a stretch to “blame” him for her death because he didn’t call police
What a cruel, heartless mother.! .. How could she kill her baby! .. If she doesn’t want her son, she could have just left him to his dad instead of brutally strangling him to death and leaving him naked like trash. This crime is beyond tragic. Heartbreaking!
Such a sad case and I feel so bad for the father. He never thought his mother would hurt their child. The worse crime is when a mother kills her kids cuz you carried and gave birth to them. And to murder them in such a brutal way is beyond me. Ur supposed to protect and love ur kids. Animals are better mothers cuz they will protect their young. What a bitch. If she didn’t want him anymore give him to the dad. Murder should never be an option especially with a defenseless child. She disgusting
in no way i am justifying the murder but unless you have cared for an autistic child by yourself and unless there is great love for the child- it is extremely challenging for the caregiver
How did we KNOW that he was claiming he was gonna commit suicide?
moving to NC my little one thought gunshots at night was someone trying to break in, but I grew up there and was used to it. after a few years so was my child
Damn………
I can only hope this child passed quickly. 💔
If vaccines hadn't f.ed this kid up she would of had a normal child. She didn't have the ability to deal with his issues.
My heart hurts…
A crime reporter so surprised that a cop kills his wife? That occupation has the highest rate of domestic violence.
As with Down Syndrome, and Autism, people don't realize these people have been touched by the finger of God, they are indeed "Special". Well she found him a new home, God took him back. She needs to have a "special" punishment.
That poor beautiful little boy I really don't know how a mother could do that what a evil woman i don't understand why she could do such a thing if you didn't want him why not put him up for adoption getting to a family member this is so sad if you didn't want children why open up your legs
Re: Houston cop pleads out, gets 40 yr sentence, for murdering librarian wife. Texas is death penalty state – maybe he took a plea to avoid capital murder charge??
❌ Why courts were closed down for Covid ❓ grocery stores and banks were open 🤔 Please explain to me
The wife was a very nice looking woman. The husband was not. He was insecure. Very insecure and probably was that way his whole marriage.
I have 2 granddaughters with autism and these children and so loving and trusting. To hear that this savage did this to this beautiful child just breaks my heart. She needs some of that good old jail house justice. This is horrible.
Wasn't he mistaken for another lil boy, when 1st found? Such a sad & unexcusable crime.
Remove leadership that's making communities unsafe, vote them out.
California where criminals are look at as hero because Democrat governor is woke and regarded
It needs to be a death penalty action to hurt a child especially one with special needs. Something needs to change because our society keeps killing our next generation urgently.
I dont have kids but my eye allergies kickin in 😭
People need more help caring for disabled family members, and someone to keep track of how children are doing. This is a terrible tragedy. I hope we find out more about what happened.
I HOPE THAT LADY ROTS IN PRISON FOR KILLING HER OWN SON !!!!
why dont we just hang all these pyschos
Also, what a piece of s*** that woman is to kill the most innocent of victims & her own child
My Kokomo, Indiana McDonald's ice cream machine's always broken. It's 50/50 there, but I never think, "bomb threat." No idea it was a nationwide issue
So, did momma think he was better off dead than facing a lifetime of abuse from others?
There is no excuse for what she did
How awfully horrible how could you do this to your own child. It just mystifies me in so many ways. I just don't believe this Poor Baby Boy 😢❤️💕💯💯
Our grandson is Autistic also, people should love them. Yes it's hard at times but we love him so much.
