Summary:
CNN reports officers found to children dead in a Southern California Hamptons Inn & Suites room. The mother of the 13-year-old boy and 10-year-old girl has been charged with murder. Saturday night, Marilyn Edge attempted suicide after crashing her car in a nearby Home Depot parking lot. She was found with a cord tied around her neck at the parking lot in Costa Mesa. Also found in Edge's car was a full tank of propane gas. Officers are still unsure on how exactly the two children died or how long their bodies were in the Santa Ann hotel room.
Analysis:
This article was written by Janet DiGiacomo to inform us about this unfortunate event. It's truly upsetting to see so many negative events in the highlights of the news lately. It is absolutely crazy to think that a mother of two would ever think to commit the murder of her own children. Other guests staying at the hotel have described this whole scene as "unbelievable." It has been brought up that perhaps Marilyn Edge was mentally ill. This idea is completely far-fetched, considering the fact that she did run her car into a protected power transformer, which leads one to believe that she must not be entirely sane. Hopefully in the near future, her mental state will improve.

This is horrible. There has be so much corruption and violence in the news lately it makes me wonder what humanity is coming to. It is a chilling thought to know that a mother could be pushed to such terrible actions and makes me sick.

I cannot believe that a mother could ever even think of doing this. It disturbs me to my core. I imagine that she is mentally ill, because no sane person would do that hopefully.
ReplyDeleteWhy would a mother even think about killing her own children let alone do it. It makes me think she probably regretted it seeming as she attempted suicide afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty certain that she is some sort of unstable. Simply a sane person wouldn't kill her own two children, unless they were remarkably cruel. However, in that instance they probably wouldn't have attempted suicide. It is sad to think of such a story and in a way creepy since the bodies were found in a hotel room.
ReplyDeleteWow, just, wow. It's sad news like this keeps appearing more frequently. I never would think a mother would do something horrible like that. It's horrible to know that those kids won't get to live with their lives.
ReplyDeleteIt always amazed me how a mother could take her own children's lives. She could have killed our future president. Adults in general taking a child's life makes me sick. Kids are innocent, they don't understand why violence is geared towards them and neither do I. They don't ever deserve to be targeted. Now we'll never know what those kids might have become. Speaking of which, everyone make sure you plan to see the first play of the season Four Little Girls: Birmingham 1963. It truly is an inspiring story.
