Choke the ones you love



Usually, we hear of mean moms who smother, drown, shake and starve their babies. It is rare that a story comes out where the MM is attacking an older kid, one that might even be able to get away. But so is the case in sunny Tucson, AZ, where our latest MM decided she had had enough and it was time for her 10-year-old to go. Instead of sending him off to grandma’s house, she wanted him gone-gone and to accomplish this she grabbed the nearest cord and wrapped it around his neck.

Thankfully, she called the cops on herself -- cry for help anyone? -- and the boy was treated at the scene and then rushed to the hospital where he remained in critical condition as of this writing. Her second son was placed in protective custody, and while it was said that the father of the boys died recently, no word on how, or if he was living in the household at the time of his death.

Here’s to a speedy recovery for that boy and help for everyone involved. It sounds like some counseling for the recent loss and even more recent violence is needed. A link to the story as it appears on tucsonnews.com appears below.
