How can people be so sick?

These sorts of things happen more and more every day. As a society we have become "consciousless" and more and more people are becoming cold-hearted. They no longer consider their impact on others, only what the world does to them. It is sad.

Hi Autumnrose, what a chilling story! I will never understand how a person can hurt an innocent child like that nor do I want to. There is no way to find sense in this sort of thing. What it should do is make parents aware that they really can't trust anyone with their children. Stories like this just make me feel sad.

I hope she would suffer the stiffest penalty for doing this. Sometimes they can claim that they were not in the right frame of mind when they did this and if some psychiatrist can assess such she could then avoid getting to prison for this and might get to a mental facility instead.

I remember this story when it first happened last year. The eight year old girl was skipping along the park going home. I couldn't believe a female Sunday School teacher could commit such a crime. She needs to rot in jail for the rest of her life. I can't comprehend what the parents are going through with all this. It has to be the hardest thing to deal with in life. Now her own daughter will not have a mom and hopefully this daughter will learn to stay away from her own Mom.

You know what? I don't even want ot hear what excuses she has to give for doing this terrible thing because I don't think there is any excuse. I just don't understand what has happened to the world. How are we supposed to give our children freedom when things like this are going on. As a mother myself I really do fear for the day that my daughters ask to go somewhere without an adult. I know i cannot keep them wrapped in cotton wool forever and a day, but can you even blame me for wanting to while people like this woman are roaming the streets.

Let us not just jump ahead to judge! we need to first put into considerationthat she may be suffering from some psychological disorders both mentally or emotionaly. Yes i agree that it s a very crude situation but we need to look behind close doors. We need to understand what made her decide to do such an awfull crime. Yes i am in ull agremnt that she diserves to be place in prison but let us stop to think for a moment did she really just made this decision of the top of her head?

The woman must be a psycho to do something like that, either that or mentally ill and thought the child deserved it for some crazy reason. But if she's been allowed to plead guilty she must have been in her right mind which just makes her psycho. Mybe the girl did something to her daughter, or she thought she was inful or something (someone said she was sunday school teacher). The mind boggles it really does, lets just hope they never let her out.

She is a sick woman. There is no excuse for what she has done. I hope she suffers for the rest of her life. I feel so badly for the little girls family as well as the daughter of the murderer. It is a sad situation.

I can not believe it killing a child for a no reason. I don't believe she doesn't realize what she do. I think he really sick and have temper problem. Its make you really aware with who your kid play and they parent. Its really hard to see people with psychology problem because grown up tend to hide it.

I believe that she is mentally ill. Only psychotic people can do that. It is very obvious in her statement that she is crazy. Killing an innocent child and not knowing why is an act of a crazy person. If she is proven crazy then she will not be imprisoned but be put in a place where crazy people are treated.

thats too cruel.. how could she kill a small girl? thats too brutal. she have got life time prison for that.. doing a murder and apologizing will never give that kid back..

It kind of makes me wonder why she would consider even doing this? I know no one really wants an explanation but I seriously can't think of why... was she mad at young girls for calling her names or something the chick looked like susan boyle O_o? I mean seriously... I know that's no excuse what so ever and I'm shocked a sunday school teacher would just up and do something like this... very tragic... but there has to be something wrong with this chick pleading guilty or not. -WickedSpies

The woman's cognitive ability is really impaired because she cannot make sound and rightful decisions. people like her should be placed in a psychiatric ward, not in jail. The doctors need to further assess the woman's condition before making final decisions regarding her penalty.

this is a crazy story but events like that happen all the time!!! There are some very sick individuals in this world these days!! You can never trust anyone!!! Not even a friends mother!!! I hope news like this keeps hitting the airways!!! We need to be informed about stuff like this! Its a part of our world and we must face it ready to battle!
