Why would a mother rather spend her life in prison than give up her children for adoption.

[@IndyandJazmin]

She's just a sell fish beach. If she's doesn't have them, no one will have them, smh.

[@pdig2963]

Unbelievable 😢 It's almost like an epidemic of parents killing their children 😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@MISSAPRILx3]

And their spouses

[@DIYsober]

That boy reminds me so much of my son. She has to be on drugs illegal or legal.. she cannot be in her right mind to want to hurt that baby.

[@LivingLorisLife]

😢 so sad 😭 hope these kids get the justice they deserve!

[@KTFromTheHills]

The mental health crisis in the US is crazy - is there something in our water??? Or our food??? Who goes through the pain of BIRTHING a child, raising them, just to kill that child without something going on mentally??

Neurotoxins and endocrine disrupters are a bad combo.

[@CharlieDexter99]

For 50 years we’ve been telling women it’s ok to unalive babies. What do you expect?

[@MaddHeather]

​@CharlieDexter99 who tf said this????

[@MinnieKaior]

Her eyes . . . Something within her eyes! Almost like she’s possessed by something 🥺

[@christopheralan5666]

Blackeyed Demon

[@shaziaalam101]

Yes that’s what I thought they look demonic

[@sashasorensen5945]

Yes!!

[@80bbygrl]

Drowning someone is an up close, personal type murder. That poor baby prob fought back AGAINST his own mom, to save himself. Omfg.

[@Beswift1989]

What is wrong with these moms like wtf 🤬 give your kids up to a relatives. Sob.

[@BlackenSpawn]

A shame, a damn shame.

[@abadabadoopat]

Should lock her up with Chad Doerman 🥺

[@Beast_Boy3]

Typical.

[@midnitemanic2795]

The eyes don't lie. Avoid people with the crazy eyes.

[@TheSamjane4]

Grow up. She killed her kids..of course she looks like that now with the shock

[@WhatsThis]

No she has that crazy demon eyes. I have seen it before.

[@maryzaletel4928]

This is Crazy!! This is happening all over the USA. Is it something in the water???

[@helenconstantine4952]

The officers would have had a hard time dealing with this case.

[@CaseyMarie11-11]

They're definitely having a hard time. This has rocked our entire town 😔

[@paulafoster2607]

I have no words. Prayers for those left behind trying to deal with this tragedy.

[@anitamabe3940]

Evil!!

[@ZedBeiFeng]

Her daughter looks just like her too this is sick.

[@karenfreytag6074]

I think they will blame postpartum imo

[@Lisa-xm4bw]

@karenfreytago6074, of course they will.

[@CharlieDexter99]

YouTucommunist is deleting all my comments where I’ve been saying this. Inside it outside the womb, woman’s got to have rights!

[@joanodom2104]

Well, it won't wash because the boy was a toddler. Far too old.

[@allahakbar59]

Postpartum and the fathers. It's always those.

[@babyjane87]

@@joanodom21042 year old (24 months) is not too old to still be suffering with postpartum

[@katieh3236]

I can't even drown a mouse And if she's going to kill the kids, why turn herself in? How about not do it at all?

[@TurkAlert]

My community 😢😢 Tragic

[@bernardbuonocore6927]

Where's the Father? Single mother?

[@CharlieDexter99]

There’s 2, both were denied custody and given to the mother.

[@blaiseaimee7098]

Exactly. This is the root of the problem.

[@CharlieDexter99]

@user-ye2ce8vp9i in order to be denied something you have to ask for something. Stop with this song and dance about men not caring. Now, go feed your cats, single lady.

[@animatedaries6806]

How the dads goes after court for allowing a evil b to get full custody. This is sick sick sick

[@TheSamjane4]

Probably took off as usual and left the responsibility all on the mother

[@kaitlynleeanna425]

The devil is thriving through these evil parents

[@Boxingfan-mg8mf]

*evil whytes

[@sr2291]

There is no devil.

Malarkey

[@ozzyosbourneandrandy]

Yes that was not who she was I knew her for 15 years and up to that day I never knew she would do such a thing the kids was so happy

[@LandofOzOfficial]

I agree. What else could make seemingly normal parents take the lives of their own children. It's so bizarre and demonic.

[@Coplandcalm122]

This is just terrible 😔

[@debbiepatrick399]

This story just came out, I live about 1 1/2 hrs away, so sad

[@CaseyMarie11-11]

I live in Festus. This happened Tuesday morning. The kids had just gotten out of school on Friday. This has rocked our little community 😔 do you see stuff like this happening, and it breaks your heart, but you never think it will happen this close to home. My doctor attended school with Scarlett 😔 May her and baby Isaac RIP 💙💜

[@Jenni_H]

RiP lil baby boy & girl 👼🕊

[@susanhazelton6645]

My prayers to the remaining family

[@alisonsarahcarroll6063]

This case is horrendous

[@lauravanderbooben836]

Those two babies were so beautiful and looked so sweet. How does a mother do this to her own children?

[@iffyangel3380]

WTH is wrong with people!?

[@shadejustcant]

That little girl sounded like an actual angel. May she rest. 💔

[@Meagain2sc]

Poor children 😢 ❤💙
