I'm a single mother of two young children. My son is 2 1/2 and my daughter is 10 months. Being a mother I can't believe that another mother would do something like that to her children. I understand the post-partum depression can really mess with a mom's head, but how could someone do that. I am in shock. But I also believe that when her car veered off the road into the Iowa river some months ago was not an accident for this very reason. She purchased the item used to kill her own children a couple months in advance. I also cannot believe that her husband couldn't see the signs of her having a problem and not trying to get her help. I am in absolute shock.

Michelle Kehoe's trial coverage on Tru-TV began today. I hope her older son Sean will be able to make a full recovery, but the psychological scars will remain with him for a very long time, even after the physical ones have healed.

I'll never understand how or why people who are so seriously disturbed as Ms. Kehoe seems to be have children at all. This strikes me as another Andrea Yates case, with only a few minor differences.

Like I said before, Michelle Kehoe needs to do us all a favor and successfully commit suicide.

Well, obviously that's not going to happen. I'm just wondering what idiot told her she "should" have children when she had probably been seriously disturbed for many years. Judging from what I am hearing from one of the psychology experts, this woman should NEVER have had children.
