Another woman has killed her autistic children

That's, what, the second time this summer?

DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS.

Seriously, don't. It's the usual morass of eugenics, hatred, and excuse-making, with the occasional racist remark thrown in for good measure.

Don't read the comments, guys.

As of this reply I'm making now, the first page of comments is primarily full of people denouncing the previous ones. :D

Wasn't looking so good when I went there, some time after you but before now.

Bet it goes back and forth.

I can see two sides both constantly getting reinforced by people posting it in new communities saying ~check out these horrible stupid comments let's go in there and teach them a lesson~...

[conuly]

Well, some of them are just trolling.

I can't believe the comment someone left about the minute they read it, they knew she was either Mexican or black. Because obviously white people never abuse or kill their children. *eyeroll*

[conuly]

I'd guess that any randomly killed/abused child in the US is more likely to be white, actually. This is, of course, because kids in the US are more likely to be white.

Jesus wept, what a horrific incident.

.... we don't even know that these children actually were autistic.

[conuly]

We don't? Wait, another of those? Damn.

[ksol1460.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we can't find any news reports confirming that the children were autistic, just that the mother said they were. The way things are today, she could have decided they were autistic after seeing dumb things on television or online about speech delays and developmental phase differences.

Or she could have decided they were autistic because she is fucking delusional, or just decided to say they were because she thought she would get off easier ....

It's the same problem, though. Two dead kids, and why? Because autism is baaaaad (or, maybe, because killing autistic kids is acceptable).
