My mom showed this piece to me a few days ago, and I just find it interesting to try and imagine what this woman's reality was like, to be able to do something like this so methodically, especially to your own children. Plus, I just find her reasoning funny in the darkest way possible. If all moms could kill kids for being mouthy, I know I'd be dead x12397298627931.

This is also very interesting to me. A lot of crime happens to children, and I wonder if it's because they are so forgiving towards their parents. This boy was killed by his father and his father's girlfriend. They had bitten his calf, burned his forehead, and broken his arm among other things. Vulnerability is a key factor in choosing victims.

I'm going to look for more articles about this particular event, because it's one that really affected me. Zachary Turner was in his mother's full custody, though she was being charged with murdering his father. If he wasn't in her care, he would still be alive and well today. Shirley Turner is a monster, and I really hope I can find more on this case.
You may see a pattern developing, but I've always been very interested in crime. If I wasn't so bad at science, I would have love to study forensics.
