I think we've all felt overwhelmed by life and circumstances at some point in our lives. But what is it that separates us from the animals that can sit back and watch a child die, thinking "My life will be easier"? That's just cold and heartless. It's as bad as murder, in my opinion. Not only could she have saved her child, but now the older child must live with the fact that he killed his baby brother (sister?).
That is, if it's true. Sounds hinky to me.
Hutchinson said it is unclear from the investigation whether McIntyre instructed her son to smother the baby, but that it is clear that she knew what was happening.
Police said the 2-year-old covered the 11-month old with several blankets and a beanbag chair and leaned against the chair until the infant stopped breathing. McIntyre told investigators she waited about a minute after the infant stopped moving before she pulled the 2-year-old off him. She spanked and scolded the 2-year-old for smothering his brother. Then after text-messaging her boyfriend, McIntyre called 9-1-1
On Oct. 15 the Department of Children and Families reported the possible abuse to Titusville police. Police investigated the incident and during an interview Oct. 21 McIntyre admitted fabricating the incidents. The infant's medical records revealed the 11-month-old had four doctor appointments and three hospitalizations since Sept. 21
I'm pondering how much consideration our society would give a single father guilty of the same offense or perhaps to escape child support in a time of high unemployment rates? I'm a divorced "single mom" to three kids (5, 10 and 12). I understand this woman's frustration, I know those impulses she speaks of, but for the same reasons I do not resort to violence in solving issues with my adult counterparts I do not harm my precious children. It's wrong on every human level. Feeling at times burdened by my kids is not what separates me from the criminals behind bars, being strong and selfless enough not to ACT on those feelings is.
What a lowlife.
Of course, she has a "boyfriend."
They better not give these children back to her, but then she'll just have more.
I don't understand your comment about her having a boyfriend. Could you elaborate?
