If sane people snap and do what she did - it's evil.
You are not allowed to do that to your children for any reason and be excused for it. NONE.
It's not evil, LL.
She's sick. She lost her mind, and killed herself.
She never meant to harm her children. If she did, they would be dead. She would have killed them, first.
(Susan Smith, come to mind? She planned, and killed her children. And, she's still alive. I hope she never gets out of jail.)
I really don't think Christine Woo, meant any harm to her children.
She was a good Mom, who had a mental break down.
She left her kids in a hot car with no provisions. She was most definitely NOT a good mom. She was an ultimate loser.
How's the air up there?
flan
Obviously better than the hell you live with every day....
LMAO
flan
You are the saddest and most miserable person I know.
Coming from you, that's a compliment.
And I'm sick of your personal insults, as I'm sure everyone else is. Do you need another vacation?

I still want to know how many sleeping pills she bought.
How many stores did she have to go to?

The second she bought that first bottle of pills, she had a plan.

Do not justify this. Many people have been lost, many people have been sad, many people have suffered and so have I. But when you decide to have kids, YOU have an OBLIGATION to take care of those kids until you are no more! I'm sorry but no. You don't get to take yourself out. Your rights end where theirs begin. Because you chose that.
Very well said.
I've had a hard life at times. Sometimes desperate. But no matter how bad it was, how much I wanted to run away or worse, I never would. Because of my children. And that is how decent people are in life.

But you didn't also buy sleeping pills, park your car in an out of the way spot, cover your windows, trap the kids in the car, and kill yourself.
Don't forget that someone Flan's or my age are not tied to their phone as in life line. The younger folks are. And life line is the key term. She left it behind for a reason.

I'm very sad, that she didn't seek mental help.
I don't think she was an evil person.
I think she needed mental help. And didn't realize it. Or, was unable to admit it. Or, didn't know how to ask for it.
I don't know, for sure.
I don't think any of us, will ever know, for sure.
What I do know, is...that I feel sorry for her. Her children. Her husband. The whole family.

IKWTDS, I don't think she had the mental capacity, to realize that she was putting her children in danger.
She might not have even known, that they were in the car, with her.
I think she lost it.

No, Oh4.
If she had wanted her kids to die a miserable death in a hot car in Texas, she would have done this in June, July or August.
I don't think she planned this, at all.
I don't think she had the mental capacity to plan it.
Soooo, she snapped, couldn't think, but gets credit for knowing it would not being hot enough to kill the kids over 3 days?
She's dead. Does it really matter what she does or doesn't get credit for? And, you can all dogpile her character. We dont' know anything about her or her family or her husband or children. If she didn't intend to kill her kids, she came pretty darn close to doing so by having them suffer for days of dehydration in that car. But, calling her a horrible person, etc, i am not sure how that will help her children heal in the future. Will it be easier for them to deal with this by thinking she is just a horrible person? Or, will it be easier for them, if she was an otherwise loving mom, to have simply had a terrible tragic mental health break? I don't know.
As for killing herself, it is really, really difficult to kill yourself with over the counter sleeping pills. I mean, the ingredient that is more likely to harm you is a big tylenol overdose but that literally takes days to shut down your liver. It just seems that there is more here than buying a bottle of tylenol pm.
I agree with Fort Worth Mom. I believe that she just snapped.
It is possible to be logical and do things in a reasonable way even when you have checked out of the Hotel Reality. Especially when we consider that we are seeing it after it was done, and not examining the process from start to finish without knowing what was done in what steps.

Or a bitch. She was a human being, likely in a great deal of pain.
Or she was just so overwhelmed and harried that she forgot it. This may have just been a spur of the moment, impulsive suicide. She was overwhelmed. She forgot her phone just trying to get out the door. At the store, she just made that decision right then and there with no thoughts of the consequences for the kids.

Flan and Welts....the Patron Saints of Murderers...
Why, yes!
Just because I understand that there's such a thing as a psychotic depression, means I'm all for murderers.
Listen to yourself. You couldn't get more ridiculous.
She tried to kill her kids too. In THE most horribly imaginable way. Just let them rot. Yeah, sounds like someone you would defend...
-- Edited by Ohfour on Friday 22nd of April 2016 06:28:48 PM
You don't know what she tried. You clearly don't understand psychosis. Or transgenderism. Or algebra.
The facts speak for themselves on what she tried to do. There is no way it can be construed that she wasn't trying to harm her kids. If she wasn't, she could have left them somewhere.

I don't care who agrees or disagrees with me. I don't need a popular vote to decide my opinion, feelings or thoughts.

There is no basis for that. Up until this point, she had done nothing to show any type of mental incapacity. And she took STEPS.

You actually don't know that she didn't give them anything - she just might not have given them enough to kill them. Their bodies would metabolize them over the 3 days and that evidence would be gone.

Let's give her the benefit of a doubt for a moment and say she didn't intend to kill the kids.
What her state of mind when she;
Dressed them. Give it an hour.
Put them in the car. I had three kids in car seats at once, that alone can take 10 minutes on a good day.
Drove to store.
Took 3 kids out of car seats. Another 10 minutes.
Went in and did whatever shopping. 30 minutes to an hour.
Put kids back in car seats. 10 minutes.
Drove to where she decided to park.
Put up the shades.
Took the pills.
Waited to die.
Pills take a while. At least 30 minutes.
So, in all that time, she didn't think "the kids might get hurt"?
Nope. Sorry. There is no benefit of doubt.

She almost did kill her kids. She killed herself in front of them. That is a terrible thing to do to them. They almost died a horrific death by dehydration. No doubt she probably took the pills thinking she would just fall asleep and die and her kids would be found safe and sound. A better choice would have been to check herself into a pysch ward and get help. She has robbed these little children of a mother's comfort. That's a horrible thing.
