Mother tries to drown 3 week old twins, one dies

A new mother the second time around and apparently “depressed”, she decided to send her 2 week old babies to heaven by murdering them. Let’s see…where have we heard that story before? Perhaps from Andrea Yates who also drowned her kids to get rid of her “problems”.

Now how crazy can they be, given that she, like Andrea Yates, were “smart” enough not to kill themselves instead.

Hopefully, she can be depressed for the rest of her life in jail. If she thinks she’s depressed now, just wait until she’s secluded in a 4 x 7 cell. Good times. Good times.

Evans admitted to having trouble breast-feeding the boys Friday and then filling her tub halfway, according to the criminal complaint. She told investigators she put the fraternal twins in on their backs and took them out when they stopped moving.

“She did not attempt to remove them until they became lifeless,” the complaint said.

She told police she took David and Josiah Smith, who were born Jan. 4, out of the tub, put them on their sides on the bathroom floor and then put them in separate blankets. Josiah appeared to be coughing, but she doesn’t remember David coughing, the complaint said.

Her mother, Joyce Smith, then arrived home, went to the bathroom and asked, “What did you do? What did you do?” to which Evans didn’t respond, the complaint said. The grandmother then called 911.

David died at the scene, according to police.

    That does sound like the Yates woman and others like her
    Someday all of this getting rid of their babies,children, will come to light, for many precious ones it will be to late.
    They will find the reason, the cause, why. But until then the mothers who so wanted those little babies to hold,care for, love, and protect them will always have a big question mark in their name.
    There is a hidden cause,why,reason to it all.
    Some of these young girls who want to have all the fun of just having fun and nothing more, gets pregnant with a baby,they thought they wanted but didn’t want soon starts taking the i no longer can have freedom attitude, and so it goes.
    She will always hear the cries of her babies and see them as she let them suffer and die.

    She was just acquitted, according to Postpartum Progress.

    While many, many people feel the same as you do about infanticide, you’d be surprised at how the stories of women who do this are very similar. Psychosis, complicated by the grief of her 18 year old son, led her to kill her baby–not a desire to murder her children. She wanted her children to go to heaven, where they would be “better off”.

    It doesn’t make sense unless you’ve BTDT or had similar thinking but were fortunate enough to get treatment before things led that far. All new moms need to have a postpartum screening to catch women who may be at risk for such things. Having lost her 18 year old just months earlier, she was definitely at risk, and should have been given referrals to appropriate help.

    It’s shocking that all these mothers can’t appreciate the beautiful blessing that God had given her. Precious lives who look up to her , depend on her and love her so much but she took it all for granted. And now they’re gone and she’ll have to live with that for the rest of her life.

    SHALONDA, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? No child ever deserves to be drowned. No parent ever has the right to kill their kids, not even that b**** of a w**** for a mother. How dare you imply that. May God help your soul, SHALONDA. How do you sleep at night?

    yes it was wrong for her to do it and you will never know what you would do when you get put in that situation and i too used to be like you until it happened close to me. She’s my cousin and i know the type of person she really is and at the time she was sick it was proven in court and if they prove her as innocent who are you to judge. I thank god that on judgement day he is who i have to face and not you!!! (LISA AND ANGEL)
