Georgia mom kills her children in store bathroom

This story is so brutal and horrific. Now that I'm actually a mom, it's a lot more difficult to be critical of other parents. I try to keep my initial thoughts to myself when I read news stories about neglectful moms. I think to myself, I could do a much better job myself, so who am I to judge.

Then I read a horrific story like this, and I have to stifle the ill-will I feel in my heart. Even though I empathize with any over-worked, tired mom, I can't imagine what can bring you to end your children's life this way. It's hard to even think about too deeply.

I will also never forget "Baby Grace" whose identity was finally revealed this week. Her name is Riley Ann Sawyer, and hearing the details of this sweet-faced child's death sicken me to my stomach. God, please bless and protect our children today, even from their own parents if need be.
