    I am so shocked on several levels that I don't even know what to say to this nightmare.

    Somehow Navaros isn't here to argue God's cause...

    Damn. People kill people. She should be put down.

    It is even worse when it is people like lawyers, doctors, and other responsible professions who do this kind of madness. They are the ones people depend on.

    This sounds like a case of horrific action by an individual (the mother) combined with a societal failure of inaction and unthinking trust in traditional processes (giving the children entirely to their mother and ignoring all the warnings from the father and neighbors). The first, while more shocking than the second, is something we can do little about, at least in a preventative sense. The second may need some rethinking on our part.

    Hopefully we can find ways to make such tragedies less likely to happen, hopefully the girls are able to achieve some sort of rewarding life from this point forward, and thank God they are back with a parent who, as far as we can know, loves and cares deeply for them.

    Claiming temporary insanity shouldn't fly in this case. As a lawyer, she knew how to manipulate the system to avoid timely judicial review, denying her husband his parental rights, and prolonging the abuse of these children. She can't credibly claim that her mental state caused her not to know her actions were wrong, not when she was obviously trying to hide this. The State system failed these children and their father. This case had better generate some change in the laws. She deserves a life sentence for what she has done. The enablers deserve to be fired and banned from any employment in their field ever again.

    People still can disgust me and horrify me: I'm not such a calloused ass after all.
    I joke but I am speechless for something with real meaning.
