It was a bad choice

This link is to Yahoo's "full coverage" page of the story, with assorted links showing the history of things.

These are few people more remorseful than a mother who gets caught beating the beejeezus out of her kids. The remorse always comes after they get caught, though. This lady remained at large for over a week after the -- and let's be delicate here -- incident. TV news this morning (NBC) reported that she claimed she wasn't "on the run" or evading the police; she was just waiting for the arrest warrant.

Of course, that ignores all the news stories of "police seek mother for questioning." To heck with that, I supposed.

And of course you'd have to ignore that she died her hair after the "incident." Probably just a coincidence.

And you'd have to ignore the criminal history, though in all fairness it's for theft and fraud, not child abuse.

Still, my favorite quote is from her own lips:

"I'm being punished, there is nothing worse that could happen to me right now."

What's the punishment she's referring to? Her daughter being in protective custody, one imagines, though the story doesn't make that clear.
