Sad

I'm not quite sure what to make of this article.

Lashaun Harris, 23, of Oakland, was booked on three counts of murder and three counts of assault on a child with great bodily injury, according to Susan Fahey, spokeswoman for the San Francisco Sheriff's Department. Harris remained in custody early Thursday with no court date set, she said. Harris' children were identified as Trayshaun Harris, 6, Travante Greely, 2, and Joshua Harris, 1.

Initially, I thought OH SHIT, ANOTHER BABY KILLER. But as I read on, it was..... heart wrenching, in a way.

The woman is 23, her eldest is 6, so she was 17 when she had him. That's young. The woman was also living in a shelter at the time, which speaks of misfortune and possibly an abusive partner. On top of all that, she's being treated for mental illness.

You know what's even sadder?

"Lashaun Harris told authorities that voices had told her to tthrow her children into the water, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. It was not immediately known whether she had an attorney."

Voices. Voices in the head. Even if that were true and she was quite a sick individual, one day she may realise that she hda murdered her babies. And that guilt and pain will live with her the rest of her days.


Damn.
