Mother Throws Boys, Jumps From Overpass

Posted by Cole Gamble
Dallas police are saying a 27-year-old mother, with her 8 and 6 year-old boys, walked away from the boys’ father while getting gasoline and tossed the kids off a freeway overpass, then jumped off herself. As bleak as this headline is, there is some good news. The boys and mother are said to be in stable condition.  Police say the woman was not fleeing for her safety.  Witnesses state the boys struggled with their mother as she lifted and threw them off the 22 foot drop.  The mother does have a criminal record for assault and criminal trespass.  Also CPS has intervened with the mother on two separate occasions.  No motive, however, has yet been found for this action.   

The full story is here.

 
You might remember the story from two months ago of a mental patient throwing a two-year old from an overpass.  What a horrible trend.

Then there was the aunt who undressed herself and her niece and nephew on a Massachusetts interstate and walked the three of them into traffic.

Propagation of aforementioned children was assisted by his wife, Nicole, who is gorgeous but ironically hates being photographed. His writing has appeared in print, on various Internets and been transmitted into the air through the magic of the radio. Currently he is working on an evil self-help book titled Improve Your Life Or Die.
