Why do violent parents seem to think they own their children’s lives…….
A mother has attempted to drown her 5 and 9 year old sons in the Murray River at Moama. Early indications are that the nine year old boy managed to escape and was found nearby. The five year old has not yet been found.
The mother was interrupted ‘mid-drowning’ by a barking dog. The 27-year-old woman from Deniliquin presented herself to the Echuca Police Station in Victoria at approximately 10pm and was then taken to hospital to be treated for a dog bite. She has been released from the hospital and is now in custody of Police who expect to charge her with murder and attempted murder.
Police divers and SES volunteers are currently scouring the river to find the youngest boy.
The nine-year-old boy was also treated for dog bites. It is believed at this stage that the pit bull belonging to nearby neighbours may have been trying to save the boy from drowning.
The woman had only been released from jail only four weeks ago for what media call ‘serious offences’ that are yet to be named. She will be extradited to New South Wales today where charges will be laid.
What could ever be so bad that a mother has to kill her children? Surely if she was incapable of looking after them, or had any feeling for them what-so-ever, she would call Police to pick them or her up….. To put the boys in a safe home. Think of the fear these boys must have experienced, at the hands of the person who is meant to love them the most…….
