NO TO PAROLE 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

[@tracywerner4315]

I completely remember this when it happened. Those poor babies. When she claimed a black man was the suspect.... Law enforcement went into arrest mode and terrorized every black man in the area. It was horrible.

[@MashaT22]

I recall it too. I was a kid, about 13 years old. It was horrifying to think a mom would do this to their own kids.

[@girlofthealpines]

I'm way less worried about adults being brought in for questioning than about what actually happened to those kids.

[@shaf60]

Let her think about it another ten to twenty years . ⚖

[@helenfong3339]

She only thinks of herself!

[@elizalam5253]

DESPICABLE, EVIL, DISGUSTING 🤮

[@auntiechercher4266]

Susan Smith was a selfish, miserable witch. Always thinking about herself. Her boys didn't do anything to her and to die like that at the hands of their own mother. Keep her in jail, please!

[@Sherry-v5t]

No no no

[@mickeyandres2651]

She doesn’t deserve parole according to her record….. She’s been struggling doing time.

[@teamcougars]

I shudder just thinking about the terror these children must have been 😥 as a mom to 5 amazing children I seriously can’t even think about without start to tear up, when this happened my 2 oldest children were 2&3 they are 11 months 20 days apart 😊😊❤

[@jodevonshirenz]

This was the most disgusting case i have ever seen... this woman never deserved those poor children. She does not deserve to get out. I'm usually all for serving your sentence.... but this? Her own babies 😢 I hope she never gets out.
