Mother, boyfriend charged with murder in drowning deaths of three children
CLINTON, Ill. -- A woman accused of drowning her three children cried and wiped her eyes Thursday as a judge read the first-degree murder charges against her and told her she could be eligible for the death penalty.

Amanda L. Hamm, 27, did not enter a plea. Neither did her boyfriend, Maurice Lagrone Jr., 28, who is also charged in the case.

Hamm's mother said Thursday that her daughter had problems throughout her childhood and that she is standing by prosecutors who have charged the young woman with murder.

Hey look! Here's another one!
A Mableton couple charged with murder in the death of their son tied him up, beat him with belts and sticks and locked him in a closet to pray to a picture of Jesus, a Cobb County police officer said in a sworn statement.

Detective David C. Schweizer said 8-year-old Josef Mykel Smith, who died Oct. 9, was tied with a scarf while he was beaten.

"I was informed that [the boy] was locked in a closet and made to pray to a picture of Jesus which was affixed to the ceiling [and] monitored in the kitchen via a camera installed in the locked closet," Schweizer wrote.

No argument here, although I could see why many ATOTers would be threathened:
They already have enough problems getting some without being told it's illegal for them to do so.;)

Seriously, though, this is sick. I hope they fry for this:|

You know, I just don't get it...what could be so wrong in a person's wiring to make them do such things...
