2. Not "Taliban mom"
Rickie ,   Porto Alegre, Brazil   (10.14.09)
Why insult judaism linking her to Taliban?
3. 12 CHILDREN????
Cameron ,   USA   (10.14.09)
Who would not lose their wits at having to deal with that every day? Madness from the get-go.
4. kids of taliban mom

I am so SICK AND TIRED of all these child abusers being excused for their crimes, by claiming mental illness. This woman was nothing but a big fat evil mean bully, who had no business having or taking care of children. I hope she goes to jail for a long long time, and if she ever gets out, I certainly hope this delightful woman has no intention of letting herself get knocked up again. I wouldn't treat a cockroach the way she treated her own babies.
5. Abusive parents
someone who cares ,   Israel   (10.14.09)
Sadly it is a common occurence that children are often oblivious to the abuse since they have no other set of parents to compare theirs too. Many abused kids still love their parents - they are their parents after all. However I think that in this case, the children should all get counselling to deal with what their parents have done and the courts etc should provide for them and help them through. It is one thing to put the parents away but yet another to deal with the aftermath of what was inflicted. I truly hope that the children will manage to find strength, understand that what occurred was wrong, and be as well-adjusted adults as they possibly can be.
6. The mother is obviously mentally ill - I heard that while
L. ,   Israel   (10.14.09)
the social worker was there observing her, the woman put yellow tempera paint into a pot of water with raw chicken, gave it a little stir and called the kids for supper, "come, children, chicken soup!" Is that well??? She apparently is so ill she doesn't even think that's a tad odd in front of the social worker! However, someone that ill is SO dangerous in so many more ways, obviously, to her children. She should be in a mental institution locked away from them. G-d help these poor children and find them a suitable loving and nurturing environment.
7. Psychiatric evaluation
Wade ,   NYC USA   (10.14.09)
should determine mental illness. Either way she is too unstable to raise the kids. If found incompetent, she could be treated, but kids have to be placed with proper families. Is father also sick? What are the chances? Is he evil? or uncaring? Somebody has to take responsibility.
