- I don't feel sorry for her. The children don't get to grow up because they had a mother who is obviously mentally ill. Her family tried to help but I guess it wasn't enough. When you see someone with problems like this they should be told where to go for help.

- Remember, there was another woman, Susan something, I don't recall the last name, about 15 years ago who did this same thing with her two little kids, left them in a car and shoved the car into a lake then claimed it was an accident. I wonder if this one got the idea from her. This one would have been a teenager at the time and it was all over TV. I wonder.

- LE probably confronted this monster with physical evidence showing tissue damage to the lungs NOT consistent with drowning but with suffocation. She cracked against the proof. Good work LE. I know it doesn't bring back these precious babies but maybe it will make some other parent think before they hurt if only selfishly think to keep themselves out of prison. I hope she is punished with the most law affords.

- What in the world was Shaquan thinking? There are people in this world every day wishing that they could have children and cannot for whatever reason. How can you take something that you cannot give. Shaquan, yes God will forgive you and everyone else should as well. When God gets through dealing with you, you will wish you were dead as well. Rest a sure your day is coming. Yes you also deserve to get what court system presents down to you. So when you are praying be sure you ask God for his forgiveness on what you did. God forgives everything but blasphemy. God will even forgive MURDERS.

- What was so bad that she had to kill her babies, and to top it off she tried to lie about it. I am a mother and children depend on their parents for protection, and she murdered hers. People who murder children shouldnt get rights, if it was my choice i would have pictures of her kids in her cell. She would have to look at them ever time she open her eyes. Killing her would be a scape goat, let her suffer for life.

- How could you kill your own kids, I mean if you cant take care of them give them away she deserves to be put away for life.

- Here is the problem with the death penalty. She would sit in a private cell for 20 or more years and automatically get up to 3 appeals. Those appeals will be paid for with tax payer dollars. If she receives life in prison, she will have to finance her own appeals. She would likely be put in the general prison population, without the privacy or protections provided on death row. It will cost more to carry out the death penalty than to house an offender for 30 or 40 years. I am appalled at this crime as well, but the fact is, the death penalty is incredibly expensive and it is you and I who pay for it. That is what I understand to be the procedure with regards to the death penalty. I do not live in South Carolina, so if it is handled differently there, someone please send in a comment about it.

- I can't wait to hear her lawyers explain how she "just snapped." She had her wits very much about her. It takes good presence of mind to think up a plan like killing the kids first, then sending the vehicle into the river and what to tell the police. That won't stop a sleazy lawyer.

- Hello?? Where's the daddy(s)? Is he another case of what Obama hopes to turn the tides on, the black non-present father? He has obviously not come forward as authorities are still trying to locate him several days into this. And why was the daughter spared, who was home with the grandmother? Does she have a different father? Was the mom receiving support for the daughter and not the two boys or was the girl simply favored over the boys due to gender or her slighly older age? I don't buy the excuses that she had no way to provision for the boys-she would have been eligible for programs like WIC and she was already having housing and perhaps quite a bit of childcare provided by her mother. You don't just wake up one day and find yourself 3 kids down the road with a non-present father(s), without a job, and being supported by your mother, these things do happen unfortunately but not usually all at once, rather they are a progression of unfortunate events over time or sometimes the outcome of continued bad choices over time. She could have turned the kids over to foster care or given up her parental rights in adoption.

- Okay, I am absolutley disgusted at this story, and for the people who have sympathy for this sick a** piece of crap that calls herself a mother. Every parent get overwhelmed. Especially with the economy the way it is. Trust me I know all about it. I am 24 years old. I am a full time college student and full time mother of four yes I said four children. Ages 6, 4,2,and 1. Most women my age cannot even handle one child let alone four at young ages while also juggling college full time. Have I been depressed? Yes. Have I been stressed out? yes. Have I thought about killing my children with my own bare hands and then trying to cover it up by staging a fake accident? Hell no. My place as a woman and a mother in this world is to always ensure that my children are protected. If I absolutley cannot take care of them, I wouldn't just kill them. There are so many women in the world with fertility issues that can never have children. And people who have them are killing them. Talk about not appreciating such a remarkable gift. I have no sympathy for this woman at all. I understand about unplanned pregnancies, I didn't plan any of mine. But I opened my arms and heart to each of them and made due with what life threw at me. There were so many other options for this woman that would have kept those babies alive. Why didn't she tap into those?
