When I heard her eulogy included "at least I won't have to put up with the teenage years" and " I wouldn't bring him into this world today" I got chills.

Me, too. I can't stop thinking about it. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it. I went and got BabyB and put him in bed with me. I just can't understand this.

I KNOW. The whole thing just makes me sick.

As I posted at the other site, there is a CLASSIC L&O episode where a baby dies. Attention first turns to the father, but then they figure out he's covering for the mother, who killed the baby (and two or three before it) for sympathy and attention - Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. It's rare, but it does happen.

Not saying that's the case here, but the whole thing is just so horrible and awful, and every time I think of it, I just want to throw up.
 
Maybe it's just me, and maybe it's just because of the horribleness of what's happened, but in every picture of that precious child, he looks so lost and forlorn. Even when he's smiling. :'( :'( :'(

I read what she said in an article on AJC.com. I wanted to puke, and I cried. I am not bring dramatic when I say this.

I just don't understand. At all.

I cannot wrap my head around this, yet this story has consumed almost every thought I've had for the last couple of days.

I'm with you, sister. And I don't even have kids. My mother can't even discuss the story because she gets so upset even thinking about it. There's NOTHING she wouldn't do for us kids, or her grandkids, and the very thought of forgetting them in a car is anathema...the thought of intentionally doing them a harm is just completely unthinkable. She is like you (and me) - DOES. NOT. COMPUTE.
 
I get more upset about baby chicks that don't make it than these people are about killing their child. Somebody stop the planet, I want to get off. :(
 
I've been distracted with Mom's surgery. I had no idea about the mother being involved, too. Dear God....just when you think this can't get any worse....it does.

I have no words.

I know…it's unbelievable! If it had been my daughter, I couldn't have even spoke at the funeral. I hated to admit to Daughter Colson that I probably couldn't sing at her wedding even…I'd never make to through the song.
 
Gets better and better.

I think you mean worse and worse.
 
Bond denied; judge mentioned possibility of it turning into a death penalty case. What. A. Loser.

I vote put both parents in a hot car, strap them in, and leave them till they're good and dead.
 
I watched some of it, was crying, son turned off the tv. :'(

I can not get past the torture this baby endured. I am so sick over this.

Me, too. I watched all if it. I started crying while the prosecutor was talking with Det. Stoddard about the light bulbs. I pretty much cried the whole time. That was so sad.

I am just sick over this. Just sick.

Completely agree. And what I loved was that she went to pick him up, and when he wasn't there, she said oh Ross left him in the hot car and he's dead. Which caught the daycare staff completely off-guard and they were reassuring her. Then, she didn't ask to see him; she asked to see the husband. And showed no emotion to the point that her own mother was hysterical and asking her why she wasn't upset.

That tore me to pieces. I think they will arrest her at some point. I think she agreed to do this to save her marriage somehow. I know a mother would not act that way.

I wish I hadn't watched it. I've read many true crime novels, watched myriad docudramas/documentaries, and several live trials. That, by far, was the most disturbing and heart wrenching. :'(
 
Yall need to "unplug" from this story. It's going to get a LOT worse when the trial starts. The real damning info will not be released until then. I'm afraid they have barely scratched the surface yet.

I do believe I heard the detective say that there will be additional charges coming because of stuff found during the investigation.
 
Yep, I agree. I'm still disappointed that originally I was half-way defending him in that "it could happen." Just another example of how sinful and evil people can be, even when I try to see the best in people. I do feel bad for the friends and family, I can't imagine what they're going through now just trying to deal with it all.
