Wow, but sad.

A Houston woman was charged with homicide after playing chicken with her 3 year child. Here is the horrific part of this. She ran over the child with her SUV. She said she thought it was a speed bump as backed up and than put the SUV into drive, thus running over the child for the 2nd time.

I am lost for words and this is just an awful story.

That mother deserves the lifetime of horrors that awaits her in the dark every night until she exits the planet for good.

a 3 ton vehicle and a 3 year old child are not now, nor ever were, playmates or toys. Any sentient being knows better...and now she gets to rerun her stupidity in her mind forever. Still feels like justice denied for that baby.

The "playing chicken" claim, and the "speed bump" excuse don't track for me.

When I was a teenager, an assistant pastor at our church backed over his two year-old daughter killing her. It can happen even if appropriate care is being taken.
