I also think we need to speak for the older kids, too.  After all, they
aren't taken seriously enough all too often, IMHO.

Sorry t0 bring back a painful topic (which was discussed a few months ago).
As I read about the testimonies of the doctors and families in the Andrea
Yates case, I was wondering who was worrying about the kids during all this?
I wasn't too surprised at the guilty verdict, and even agreed with the life
imprisonment sentence, but I surely do hope someone in Texas starts an
inquiry into the professionalism of the psychiatrists involved in Yates'
case. Yes, I do think she is guilty, but I also think her doctors and family
were negligent in not considering her kids or trying to protect them.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh, I don't know.  The senseless deaths of the
children have tended to do that to me.
